Why?
The 55.37 % year-to-date rally in EBAY is primarily the result of a July-end Q2-2025 “beat-and-raise” report that materially lifted forward estimates and sentiment:
Top- and bottom-line beat
Revenue $2.73 B vs. street $2.64 B (+6 % YoY)
Adjusted EPS $1.37 vs. street $1.29 (+16 % YoY)
GMV $19.5 B, also ahead of consensus
Higher guidance
Management guided Q3 revenue $2.69-2.74 B and EPS $1.29-1.34, both above prior street numbers .Operational catalysts
AI-driven advertising (already 2.5 % of GMV and growing ~17 %) is expanding margins .
“Focus categories” (collectibles, sneakers, luxury, auto parts) and live-shopping events (eBay Live) are driving incremental traffic and wallet-share .
Aggressive capital return: $759 m in buybacks + dividends in Q2, with a new $2.5 B buyback target for 2025 .
These factors combined to push the stock up ~19 % in the session following the print and have sustained the 50 %+ YTD move .
