Reason
Truist raised the firm's price target on eBay to $92 from $86 and keeps a Hold rating on the shares. The company's better Q3 results and Q4 guidance reflect the management's solid execution to-date against growth initiatives aimed at re-acceleration of GMV growth while protecting free cash flows and returning capital to shareholders, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Market Perform
Reason
Bernstein lowered the firm's price target on eBay to $90 from $95 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The firm notes that the Q3 print itself was very strong on the top-line, and Bernstein thinks the Q4 gross merchandise value outlook leans conservative. However, the strength in 2025 sets up a conundrum for the stock going into 2026 - these comparable sales will not be easy to lap, and get progressively tougher. The deceleration is well known, but could be pronounced in the second half of 2026 and the firm believes it likely moves eBay into funding short territory for many.

Reason
Benchmark raised the firm's price target on eBay to $110 from $100 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. While eBay posted a massive GMV acceleration to 10% in Q3 and the Q4 GMV guide was "also miles ahead of the street," then came the caveats around GMV growth headwinds in 2026, including tougher comps and higher breakage. "If not for that last callout, we suspect shares would have been down modestly," but the firm imagines eBay "played right into the skeptics' hands, even if there is a begrudging acceptance of a higher growth baseline," the analyst tells investors. The firm's price target comes up "modestly" given the growth momentum, but the analyst acknowledges that "the risk/reward from here is less compelling at current levels."
