EBay's quarterly results beat expectations amid focus on luxury items

EBay Inc. released its third-quarter 2022 report Wednesday, outperforming Wall Street’s estimates. Consumers, trying to avoid the impact caused by soaring inflation, started to purchase refurbished goods. Concurrently, e-commerce platform eBay has benefited from the expansion of its luxury goods offerings.

The company's holiday quarter earnings are expected to be lower than experts' forecasts. Reuters reported that investors overlooked these projections, pushing stocks higher by 8% in extended trading. 

EBay CEO Jamie Iannon said consumers are continually facing soaring inflation, along with hiking interest rates and rising energy prices. That’s why eBay appears to be a marketplace that enables people to purchase goods at more favorable costs. 

The company has expanded categories on its proprietary platform, i.e. sections of pre-owned sneakers and jewelry. The reason is strong demand from enthusiastic collectors of high-value items, including electronics, trading cards and watches.

The midpoint in eBay's fourth-quarter earnings projections is going to be between $2.42 billion and $2.50 billion, as Refinitiv said. So, the figures came close to analysts' expectations of $2.49 billion. Thus, the adjusted earnings outlook remained almost the same.
