eBay stock (NASDAQ: EBAY) has lost 9.1% in the last week, underperforming the S&P 500 (down 4.2%). Further, the same trend was observed over the last ten days (-8.5% vs -4.1%) and one month period (-12% vs -11%).

The company is known for operating the online marketplace eBay.com, where third-party buyers and sellers can transact in a variety of products. It witnessed strong growth in net revenues in 2020 and 2021 – rising 20% y-o-y and 17%,  respectively. The rise was mainly because of a shift in customer behavior from offline to online due to the Covid-19 crisis. Further, it translated into a 192% increase in the stock from the March 2020 low of $28 to the all-time high of $81 in October 2021. However, the investor sentiment toward the stock has reversed since then. This was due to the lower-than-expected growth outlook of the company, which failed to impress the investors. The main reason behind it was the normalizing of customer buying behavior after the reopening of traditional retail stores and an expected drop in discretionary spending by customers due to macroeconomic concerns.

Although the firm topped the consensus estimates of revenues and earnings in recently released first-quarter results, its net revenues decreased 6% y-o-y to $2.5 billion. Further, the gross merchandise value (GMV), a key metric, fell by 20% to $19.4 billion. In addition to this, eBay provided revenue guidance of $2.35-$2.40 billion for the next quarter, which translates into a downfall of 7-9% on a year-on-year basis.
