On October 19, 2018, an analyst reportedly downgraded eBay shares from Buy to Hold, cut the target from $43 to $35, and cited PayPal's earnings release disclosing weak Q3 gross merchandise value ("GMV") trends for eBay.  This news drove the price of eBay shares down $2.80, or almost 9%, to close at $28.75 that day.

"We're focused on investors' losses, eBay's upcoming earnings report and whether management may have made earlier statements about the Company's business that could have been misleading," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Whistleblowers:  Persons with non-public information regarding eBay should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.  Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.  For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email EBAY@hbsslaw.com.
