What are Wall Street analysts saying about eBay stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about eBay stock:

1. SunTrust Banks, Inc. analysts commented, "We maintain Hold/$36 PT ($40 SOTP) going into 2Q19 earnings due out Wed. 7/17. We expect the results/FY19 outlook to be in line with muted Street expectations, showing continued strain in Marketplace GMV growth with slightly better revenue trends, largely driven by promoted listings. We don’t expect a material update on the on-going operating and portfolio reviews. The current capital allocation effectively pays investors to wait (~$5B in share buybacks & ~$500M annual dividend in 2019) until 2H20/2021, when payments/1P advertising should have a greater positive effect on the overall P&L." (7/16/2019)
2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "We believe Promoted Listings will continue to be a bright spot and expect revenue to nearly double in 2019, reaching approximately $380mm. We remain PT, which reflects a blend of our DCF and sum-of-the-parts analyses." (7/15/2019)
