Where eBay Stands With Analysts

Stifel analyst Mark Kelley maintains eBay (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) with a Hold and raises the price target from $56 to $64.

Stifel Maintains Hold on eBay, Raises Price Target to $64

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban warned that proposed tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump could significantly increase the cost of Christmas holiday shopping for American families, according to comments made Friday on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Beat,&#8221; which he later shared on X, formerly Twitter.
What Happened: &#8220;I would ask them what they bought their kids for Christmas last year,&#8221; Cuban said during the interview. &#8220;Then I go through the list and show them how many were made in China because most of them are. Then I tell them with Trump&#8217;s tariffs, all those are probably going to go up 60%, and you&#8217;re going to have to make choices.&#8221;
Cuban emphasized the potential impact on local businesses. &#8220;What about the local retailer, the gift shop, the dress store, the sporting goods store, they&#8217;re going to be out of luck too because you&#8217;re buying less, they&#8217;re getting less, so you&#8217;re going to put them out of business.&#8221;

eBay's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NYSE">EBAY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 21.88% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 22.09 million shares sold short, which is 5.14% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.48 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>eBay Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1729521022_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for eBay has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing eBay's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, eBay's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.44%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Experts in banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their comprehensive research involves attending company conference calls and meetings, analyzing financial statements, and engaging with insiders to generate what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
