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.

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.
