What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($93.89). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- The model range is unusually wide ($35.03 to $93.89). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (69/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis
eBay Inc (EBAY) currently trades at $110.14, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $60.13, implying the stock looks roughly 45.4% overvalued today. We read business quality at 69/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, eBay Inc generated revenue of $11.6B at a net margin of 17.6%. Revenue grew 19.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 42.9%. Net debt stands at $5.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $35.03 (bear case) to $93.89 (bull case); at $110.14, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 7% below its 52-week high and 53% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -50% fair-value upside, at -45%, EBAY screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($74.55) versus Asset-Based ($6.96). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
