Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) is scheduled to report its fiscal Q4 2022 results on Wednesday, February 22, 2023. We expect the stock to edge past the consensus estimates of earnings, while revenues will remain in line (just below) with the expectations. The company reported mixed results in the last quarter. Its top line declined by 5% y-o-y to $2.4 billion, mainly due to a decline in website traffic and weakness in international markets. Notably, the website traffic suffered in 2022 due to the normalizing of consumer behavior, in comparison to the levels seen during the Covid-19 pandemic. Further, the key metric - Gross Merchandise Volume decreased 11% y-o-y in Q3. We expect the same trend to follow in the fourth-quarter results. Our forecast indicates that eBay’s valuation is $51 per share, which is 2% above the current market price of around $50.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Defensive Stocks Recent News The investing landscape in 2022 was notable not only for the severity of losses but also their breadth: It was the first year, since at least the 1870s, that U.S. stocks and long-term bonds both fell by more than 10%. As a result, investors have turned to defensive stocks. Defensive stocks are companies that generally hold up well in times of economic distress. The main defensive sectors are generally considered to be utilities, healthcare and consumer staples, all of which have outperformed the market in 2022. Even in a downturn, consumers continue to spend money on these products. As of December 29, the S&P 500 index’s utility stocks as a whole fell 0.5% in 2022, while consumer staples were down 2.7% in the period.

Notably, the level is the highest for the benchmark since September 2007, with the pace of Fed tightening virtually unprecedented. No doubt, many think the Federal Reserve hiking the Fed Funds rate should be a big headwind for equities, but seven decades of returns data show that stocks in general have performed admirably on average, both concurrent with and subsequent to increases (as well as decreases) in the Fed Funds rate. This is the case over 3-, 6-, and 12-month time spans, with Value Stocks leading the charge no matter the direction. Anticipation of significantly tighter monetary policy spurred higher rates across the various maturities of the yield curve. Of course, moves back into … [Read more...] about 2023 Value Stock Picks: Fed Punching A Hole In The Punch Bowl
