I didn’t expect Ebay performing so well. 6% on the ER day and 10% after 5 days of ER, good momentum. Apparently, investors like what they hear despite lukewarm analyst reaction. Some information for you on Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/keyDevelopments?rpc=66&symbol=EBAY.O×tamp=20101020201500 (eBay Inc. Issues Q4 2010 Guidance; EPS Guidance Above Analysts' Estimates; Raises FY 2010 Guidance)
Remember, outlook is always the most important factor on ER stock price action. Revenue beat is the second, EPS beat is the third in my opinion. (it may depends on the firm characteristic or pre-ER expectations, etc)
Ebay's annual finanical performance does show a good trend on profitabilities. Let's see how they do when next annual report gets out (based on the guidance it will do well as I guess.)
Analysts' opinion stay lukewarm till now.
