eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) doesn't get as much attention as other top e-commerce stocks, and it's understandable. Before and during the pandemic, eBay didn't post the impressive growth rates of companies like Etsy and Shopify .
However, shares of eBay have quietly outperformed the broad market over the last five years, and that trend has continued in 2021. Year to date, the stock is up 19% as of this writing, beating the S&P 500 return of 10%.
There are three things that stand out from eBay's first-quarter earnings report that explain why its stock has outperformed and why it may continue to do so.
