TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The online sales platform of EBAY is rightly valued now and is selected as a TOP PICK. Trading at 10x earnings, compared to 13x for peers and under 3x book, its strategy for streamlining operations will help improve its earnings going forward. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop loss at $35, looking to achieve $65.50 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 2.08% (Analysts’ price target is $65.23)

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research
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.

Switch eBay (EBAY-Q) for Merck (MRK-N) for a 3-5 year hold? He made his money on eBay and has since left it. What he likes it is that Carl Icahn is in there shaking things up. Thinks you could flip a coin on who does better. You will do well on both.
