For the second quarter of 2024, EBAY expects revenues in the range of $2.49-$2.54 billion. On an FX-neutral basis, the year-over-year change in revenues is anticipated to be (1)%-1%. On a spot rate basis, the same is expected to be (2)%-0%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.53 billion, implying a decline of 0.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
The company anticipates non-GAAP earnings per share between $1.10 and $1.15, indicating year-over-year growth of 6-11%.
The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.13 per share, indicating a rise of 9.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
EBAY’s growing focus to expand its Motors Parts & Accessories offerings is likely to have contributed well to its top-line growth in the second quarter of 2024.
Continued momentum in its advertising business, owing to strength in its cost-per-click unit and increased demand for its first-party advertising products, is expected to have been a major growth driver of the company during the quarter under review.
Increasing focus to enhance its collectibles offering on the back of expanding partnerships and newly-launched features like my collections, price guides, revamped condition standards, live commerce, vault storage and new shipping methods to reduce costs, is likely to have been a tailwind.
The company’s expanding generative AI-backed offerings like Explore, an AI-powered shopping feed, and Shop the Look feature, which leverages generative AI to create shoppable content and fashion recommendations, are expected to have positively impacted its top line during the to-be-reported quarter.
EBAY’s growing initiatives in the United Kingdom, such as introducing curated item specifics, photo guidance, intelligent pricing suggestions and condensed shipping options, are expected to have been a positive.
However, softness in consumer discretionary product spending is expected to have negatively impacted international revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for International revenues stands at $1.23 billion, indicating a decline of 3.3% from the year-ago reported figure.
Sluggishness in eBay’s Marketplace platform and weakening momentum among active buyers are likely to have hurt its gross merchandise volume (GMV) in the quarter under review.
The consensus estimate for GMV is pegged at $18.1 billion, indicating a fall of 0.8% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
Macroeconomic uncertainties and intensifying competition are likely to have been headwinds for the company.
