Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the eBay P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
eBay's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 26x. In other words, eBay's shares trade at around 26x recent earnings.
That's comparable to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37).
However, eBay's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
eBay's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.6162. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into eBay's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider eBay's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
eBay's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3.1 billion (£2.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of eBay's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
Dividend yield: 0.98% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.02% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 22.89% of net profits
eBay has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 0.98% of its share value annually.
eBay has paid out, on average, around 22.89% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.02% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.02% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In eBay's case, that would currently equate to about 1.2 per share.
While eBay's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
eBay's most recent dividend payout was on 10 September 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 27 August 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
eBay's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
eBay's fiscal year ends in December.
eBay's address is: 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, CA, United States, 95125
eBay's shares were split on a 2376:1000 basis on 19 July 2015. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2376 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your eBay shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 57.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for eBay shares which in turn could have impacted eBay's share price.
It's as easy to sell eBay as it is to buy! Here's how to sell eBay shares that you already own.
Most dealing providers will let you use your debit card to top up your account and buy shares. The main ways are with a debit card, bank transfer or with Apple/Google Pay.
The easiest way to get hold of some eBay shares is to sign up for a share trading app and place a market order or basic order. This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in eBay shares.
