Wed Feb 26 21:10:00 UTC 2025: ## eBay Poised for Earnings Report: Analysts Expect Flat Revenue

**NEW YORK** – Online marketplace giant eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) is set to release its fourth-quarter earnings report after market close tomorrow. Analysts predict flat year-over-year revenue of $2.58 billion, a slowdown from last year’s 2.1% increase. Earnings per share are expected at $1.20.

While eBay exceeded revenue expectations last quarter by 1.1%, reaching $2.58 billion (a 3% year-over-year increase), its full-year guidance fell short of analyst predictions. The number of active buyers remained stagnant at 133 million. Over the past two years, the company has missed Wall Street’s revenue estimates on four occasions.

Recent performance from competitors offers a mixed outlook. MercadoLibre saw strong 37.4% year-over-year revenue growth, exceeding expectations, while Shutterstock’s 15.2% increase fell short. MercadoLibre’s stock price jumped following its positive results.

Despite a generally cautious sentiment in the online marketplace sector, with average share prices down 1.9% over the past month, eBay’s stock is up 5.3% and currently trades at $70.02, above the average analyst price target of $63.77. Analyst estimates for eBay’s upcoming report have remained largely unchanged in the last 30 days.
