Zacks reiterated its neutral rating on shares of eBay, Inc. (EBAY). They have a $54.00 price target on the stock. Zacks' analyst wrote, "eBay is one of the largest online retailers in the world today. The company's second quarter earnings were ahead of the Zacks Consensus and guidance for the third quarter was strong. Turnaround in the Marketplaces segment, a focus on buying experience, momentum in the Payments segment, recent agreement with Discover, opportunities in the fast-growing mobile space, international expansion and a strong balance sheet are the current positives of eBay's business. However, the company continues to lag its top competitor Amazon and competition in online retail is only likely to get more intense. We are therefore, reiterating our Neutral rating. "
