Despite a softer patch lately, with the 90 day share price return down 8.19% to around $82.59, investors who have stuck with eBay have been rewarded with a 3 year total shareholder return of 113.54%. The blend of collectibles momentum, livestreaming growth, and brand collaborations suggests sentiment is still broadly constructive rather than fading.
If the collectibles story has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is gaining traction in e commerce and beyond through fast growing stocks with high insider ownership
With shares still trading at a near 29% discount to intrinsic value estimates and roughly 14% below the average analyst target, is eBay quietly undervalued here, or is the market already accounting for its livestreaming and collectibles upside?
With eBay’s fair value estimate sitting around $94 against a last close of $82.59, the most followed narrative points to upside that hinges on steady but disciplined growth assumptions.
Ongoing penetration of first party advertising and financial services businesses creates additional high margin revenue streams that are growing faster than GMV, strengthening take rate and operating leverage, and supporting sustained earnings per share and free cash flow growth.
Curious how modest growth targets, stable margins, and a richer earnings multiple can still justify a premium to today’s price? The full narrative unpacks the specific revenue path, profitability glide slope, and valuation multiple that need to line up almost perfectly to reach that fair value.
Result: Fair Value of $93.97 (UNDERVALUED)
