- A high-quality business (quality 75/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.

- A fairly wide model range ($34.32 to $88.75) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
eBay Inc (EBAY) currently trades at $104.58, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $60.13, implying the stock looks roughly 42.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 75/100 (high quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, eBay Inc generated revenue of $11.6B at a net margin of 17.6%. Revenue grew 19.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 42.9%. Net debt stands at $5.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $34.32 (bear case) to $88.75 (bull case); at $104.58, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 12% below its 52-week high and 45% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -56% fair-value upside, at -43%, EBAY screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($78.90) versus Asset-Based ($6.96). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
