-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
We cut our 12-month target by $5 to $85, 14x our 2026 EPS estimate of $6.08 (raised from $6.01; 2027 up to $6.41 from $6.39), in line with the company's long-term mean. EBAY posted better-than-expected Q1 results, highlighted by a notable acceleration in GMV growth to +14% on an FX-neutral basis, up from +8% in Q4. However, EBAY's implied guidance points to a meaningful deceleration in the back half of the year, partly due to increasingly difficult Y/Y comps. The Collectibles category has been the primary growth driver, buoyed in part by heightened enthusiasm around Pokemon. We question the durability of this tailwind. EBAY has also benefited from transitory demand in gold and silver bullion, reflecting elevated precious metals prices. Overall, we believe investor concern over slowing growth will continue to weigh on the shares. We see a credible scenario in which GMV growth turns flat to negative (excluding the pending Depop acquisition) as we exit 2026 and move into 2027.
