# Weekly Recap | eBay +7.21%, closing in on record highs

## The Week

eBay (EBAY) rose 7.21% this week to close at $120.28, while the S&P 500 fell 1.95%, leaving the stock about 9.16 percentage points ahead of the benchmark. The week opened quietly, firmed on Tuesday, then surged on Thursday to a high of $124.59. Friday saw some giveback to $120.28, leaving a pattern of a sharp midweek rally followed by consolidation near the highs.

## Key Events

The week centred on broker views and price momentum. After Monday’s close, Morgan Stanley named eBay a top pick, and the stock jumped 5% for its largest intraday gain in five months. Strength carried through Friday, when the shares touched a fresh all-time high. Wells Fargo cut its target from $92 to $91, while Bernstein kept a hold rating, leaving a mixed picture. The Times also reported that UK finance minister Healey plans to target online marketplaces in a tax crackdown, adding a regulatory item to watch.

## Analyst Ratings

Of 32 covering institutions, 8 rate eBay buy, 4 rate it overweight, 17 rate it hold, and 3 rate it sell. The consensus rating is hold, with a consensus target of $116.26, about 3.34% below the spot price. Targets range from $71 to $145, showing wide dispersion. eBay ranks 5th out of 26 stocks in its industry, placing it near the top.

## The Week Ahead

US housing data and weekly crude inventory figures will set the macro tone early next week. The main event arrives on 28 October, when eBay reports third-quarter fiscal 2026 results after the close. Estimates call for EPS of $1.0108 and revenue of $3.106 billion. With the stock near record highs and analyst targets divided, this print will be the key test of the recent advance.

## In Short

eBay sharply outperformed the market this week, helped by a top-pick call from Morgan Stanley and a move to fresh highs. The ratings backdrop is split: the consensus target sits below spot and the target range is unusually wide, while the latest session’s flow shows large and medium orders net selling against small-order net buying. The next checkpoint is the late-October earnings report, which will show whether current levels can hold.
