EBAY INC represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns EBAY INC a Hold rating, with a composite score of 62.1/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #494 of 7,333 stocks, EBAY presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
EBAY earns a quality score of 66/100, indicating above-average business quality. The company reports a return on equity of 46.3% (sector avg: 5.7%), gross margins of 71.6% (sector avg: 64.6%), net margins of 20.0% (sector avg: 2.8%). Companies in this tier generally demonstrate consistent profitability and efficient capital deployment, though they may face some competitive pressure.
EBAY's value score of 68/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 18.63x, an EV/EBITDA of 14.99x, a P/B ratio of 8.63x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
EBAY INC's investment score of 28/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 9.6% vs. a sector average of 8.6% and a return on assets of 12.1% (sector: 2.4%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
EBAY shows strong momentum characteristics with a score of 74/100. The stock has been trending above key moving averages, indicating solid demand from institutional buyers. Revenue growth stands at 9.6% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.62 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. This level of momentum typically signals sustained investor confidence and favorable near-term price action.
EBAY shows good financial stability with a score of 82/100. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.62 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 282.00x (sector avg: 0.3x). This suggests manageable leverage and moderate price volatility, making it appropriate for investors seeking a balance between growth potential and capital preservation.
EBAY carries a short interest score of 62/100, indicating moderate short selling activity. This is a neutral reading — not enough to signal systemic bearishness, but worth monitoring. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 282.00x). At $41.6B market cap (large-cap), EBAY INC offers reasonable institutional liquidity.
EBAY offers a modest dividend yield of 1.3%. While the income contribution is relatively small, even a small dividend signals management's commitment to shareholder returns and can serve as a signal of financial discipline.
EBAY INC is a large-cap company in the Services sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #494 of 7,333 overall (93rd percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 46.3% exceeding the 5.7% sector median and operating margins of 21.3% above the 4.5% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Services peers.
While EBAY currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the SERVICES sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
