Stock price when the opinion was issued
EBAY has been trending up nicely over the last year, gaining 49% and paying a yield of 1.69%. EBAY is also quite cheap at a 12.6x forward earnings valuation. Growth outlook is not exciting, expecting revenue growth of 2-3% annually and mid-single digit EPS growth. Recent quarterly results have seen strong EPS growth. Our prior comments are relatively unchanged. We think it is a high cash flow, mature value stock and would not expect it to continue delivering over 45% returns.
