Coming to price performance, eBay’s shares have lost 23.2% on a year-to-date basis against the industry’s rally of 1.6%.
Green Monday’s Contribution to eBay Sales
E-commerce has been driving holiday sales over the last few years, with an increasing number of consumers preferring to shop online.
With deep discounts and early delivery, Green Monday is a boon in disguise for both the company and holiday shoppers who are waiting for great last-minute deals to complete their shopping lists.
Starting 2007, the second Monday in December is regarded as Green Monday with the company recording one of its biggest sales days. Per Comscore, Green Monday deals led to total sales of $859 million in 2008, which increased significantly to $1.6 billion in 2016, reflecting its growing popularity.
In 2017, the company celebrated its 10th anniversary of Green Monday by launching deals every hour. Notably, Green Monday was as third-highest sales day for the company in the same year.
eBay is a well-established player in the e-commerce space that has been expanding its services offerings to meet the needs of shoppers.
eBay recently joined forces with leading service providers, namely Handy, Porch and InstallerNet, to offer installation services to its shoppers.
The company’s strong focus on strategic partnerships should continue to benefit its market position and lift holiday sales. In addition, this is likely to provide the company an edge over Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) and Alibaba (BABA - Free Report) in the e-commerce space.
The company also expanded its eBay Authenticate platform into the luxury jewelry category.The latest move is expected to strengthen its client base in the holiday season.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Currently, eBay carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
A better-ranked stock in the broader retail-wholesale sector is Casey’s General Stores, Inc. (CASY - Free Report) , which currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
