Although the revenue and EPS for eBay (EBAY) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended December 2024, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

EBay (EBAY) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.25 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.20 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.07 per share a year ago.

(Nasdaq: EBAY), a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

The eBay stock price has done well in the past few years, and is nearing the highest level since November 2021. It has done by over 102% from the lowest point in 2022, bringing its market cap to over $33 billion.

Despite outperforming the S&P year-to-date, eBay Inc.'s stock shows caution signals, with a mixed experience from a top-rated seller and declining GMV since 2021. eBay's GMV surged during COVID-19 but has since dropped significantly, with recent stock price increases not aligned with substantial GMV or Active Buyer growth. Key factors behind eBay's 2024 stock surge include AI innovations, strategic partnerships, fee eliminations, and a slight GMV rebound, though these may not justify the rise.

eBay's fourth-quarter results are expected to benefit from AI-powered tools and growth in ad revenue amid seasonal pressures.
