Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly The online sales platform of EBAY is rightly valued now and is selected as a TOP PICK. Trading at 10x earnings, compared to 13x for peers and under 3x book, its strategy for streamlining operations will help improve its earnings going forward. It pays a nice dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 25% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop loss at $35, looking to achieve $65.50 -- upside potential over 50%. Yield 2.08% (Analysts’ price target is $65.23)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly EBAY trades at a 19x PE and a forward PE of 7x -- making it one of the cheapest e-commerce online companies out there compared to a sector average 31x. They are on track to post another year of 20% increases in annual earnings. Millennials seem to be gravitating towards the direct sales model. It pays a reasonable dividend backed by a 6% payout ratio. We would buy this with stop-loss at $44, looking to achieve $63 -- over 25% upside. Yield 1.32% (Analysts’ price target is $62.48)

AMZN-Q is the 1000 pound gorilla. Any choice in this space has to take them into account. EBAY-Q has done a good job. They beat street consensus. Their site is improving and ease of use is improving. There were up a Million users of 160 Million last quarter. They have a robust stock repurchase program going on. He would not own it.

TOP PICK
This is not the trading monster it used to be. Very range bound and has been about $20-$30 since 2010. It has built a very nice base at $23.50. There is nothing crazy in the volumes, and this is something that is ready to drift up higher again.

Switch eBay (EBAY-Q) for Merck (MRK-N) for a 3-5 year hold? He made his money on eBay and has since left it. What he likes it is that Carl Icahn is in there shaking things up. Thinks you could flip a coin on who does better. You will do well on both.
