Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Full-year 2025 GMV grew nearly 6% to ~$80 billion, with U.S. GMV up nearly 10%; revenue rose ~7% to $11.1 billion and non-GAAP EPS grew 13% to $5.52
  • Strategic priorities (focus categories, C2C, recommerce) represented ~$50 billion+ of GMV growing ~10%, with recommerce exceeding 40% of platform GMV
  • Advertising reached approximately $2 billion in annual revenue; full-year non-GAAP operating income grew ~7% to nearly $3.1 billion
  • Returned ~$3 billion to shareholders in 2025; Board declared a 7% higher Q1 2026 dividend of $0.31 per share and authorized an incremental $2.0 billion in buybacks
  • Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $1.41; returned $756 million to stockholders in Q4 including $625 million of buybacks
  • Collectibles was the largest contributor to Q4 GMV growth; new AI card scanning beta saw over 15 million cards scanned since November launch, and eBay Live generated over $2 million in sales in a single event

Risks & pressure points

  • Depop acquisition for ~$1.2 billion in cash represents a meaningful capital deployment in a dynamic macro and global trade environment
  • Pokémon trading card sales slowed year-over-year due to tougher comparisons
  • Strategic priorities continue to face a 'complex global trade landscape' and 'dynamic macro environment,' with sellers navigating new tariffs and trade policy changes
