eBay is about to announce their results for the third quarter and chances are they haven't moved much since last quarter. The stock is still down on the year and is still slumping.
I can't imagine that it will go much lower than $25 unless we get some really unexpected news from them. Their P/E is at about 29 which makes them fairly attractive as well. Also, if you're into short time stocks, this holiday season should be the best they've had. Which could make for a pretty good short term gain come Jan-Feb and even into the 2Q of 2007 as people start selling the stuff they couldn't return.
I do a fair bit of coverage of eBay at
eBay Habit and really think that the company is in a slump, but is certainly not showing any signs of weakness. There are no serious competitors at this point and profits continue to grow.
eBay's a buy in my book.
