EBAY• Insight Guru flags eBay as a valuation outlier
- Insight Guru Inc. flagged eBay as a valuation outlier, citing 20.5x P/E despite 14.7% LTM revenue growth.
- Operating margin of 21% led the peer set, topping Amazon’s 12.1% while the stock sat 13% below its one-month high.
- Analysis pointed to investor caution on rising competitive spending in C2C, highlighted by the Depop acquisition.
- Depop is expected to cut non-GAAP EPS by roughly 2.5 percentage points, creating a 3-4 point headwind to Q3 operating income growth.
- The key catalyst was framed as full-year non-GAAP EPS growth guidance of 10%-12%, with upside if results hold despite investment dilution.
