Shares of eBay surged about 8% in early Thursday trading after the company posted stronger-than-expected fourth-quarter results, lifted its dividend, and set out an upbeat outlook.
The e-commerce group reported Q4 net revenue of about $3 billion, up roughly 15% year over year, exceeding market expectations. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.41, topping consensus estimates.
Gross merchandise volume rose to $21.2 billion, reflecting stronger holiday demand, including gains from live-shopping initiatives and AI-driven tools.
Separately, eBay said it agreed to buy secondhand apparel platform Depop from Etsy for $1.2 billion in cash, a move aimed at expanding its reach among younger shoppers. The deal is expected to close later this year, subject to customary conditions.
eBay also raised its quarterly dividend to $0.31 a share from $0.29 and authorized a $2 billion share buyback.
For the first quarter, the company forecast revenue of $3.0 billion to $3.05 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $1.53 to $1.59, both above analyst estimates.
Net income slipped year over year due to higher operating costs, but management said momentum across key initiatives remains intact.
