Research notes
eBay’s bull case centers on eBay Live, which Morgan Stanley says could add roughly four percentage points to annual GMV growth through 2030, alongside improving advertising, authentication, and managed-shipping revenue. The bear case is that shares have already rallied sharply, while consensus remains around “Hold” and the stock’s valuation may exceed estimates of fair value; investors also worry about margin pressure from Depop, shipping protections, and heavier AI investment. The major recent catalyst was Morgan Stanley naming eBay its top internet stock and raising its price target to $132, sending shares higher. A separate takeover rumor involving GameStop also pushed the stock up today, but neither company has confirmed discussions, making that catalyst purely speculative.
