eBay Inc., once considered the most profitable online retailer, has seen high growth throughout the year, even reaching a 52-week high at $59.85. This growth was driven by successful Q4 results, increased ad sales, and an 8% surge due to solid results and a buyback plan. eBay has also seen notable insider and institutional investor activity, with major purchases by Federated Hermes Inc. and Forsta AP Fonden. The online retailer has faced slight underperformance in the market and a dip in stocks despite surpassing expectations in earnings and sales. The company’s growth strategy includes leveraging AI for further business expansion, as suggested by the double upgrade in eBay stocks due to generative AI potential. Despite the overall upswing, some analysts perceive potential risks, warning of overheated signals. Looking ahead, Morgan Stanley has turned from being eBay’s biggest bear to its top bull, rooting for eBay's AI strategy. Earnings previews suggest further growth, but some analysts have downgraded the stock to a 'hold' position. It remains to be seen whether eBay's ambitious AI push will justify a 'buy' position in the near future.
