StockStory Backs Meta, LegalZoom and Flags $48 Billion eBay for Sale
1 articles · Updated · stockstory.org · May 12
StockStory named Meta and LegalZoom as consumer-internet stocks to watch while urging investors to avoid eBay in a sector it says has fallen 16.6% over six months.
Meta stood out for monetization and profitability: average revenue per user rose 29.6% annually over two years, EBITDA margin reached 61.8%, and EPS grew 56% annually over three years.
LegalZoom won support on subscription and pricing traction, with subscription units up 11.6% annually and average revenue per user climbing 35.2% annually over the last two years.
eBay drew caution because active buyers grew just 1.3%, next-year sales are projected to rise 5.7%, and EBITDA margin has dropped 7.4 percentage points in recent years.
The calls come as consumer-internet stocks lag the broader market sharply, with the S&P 500 up 7.9% over the same six-month stretch.
Trading at a fraction of its peers, is LegalZoom's AI pivot making it the market's most undervalued tech stock?
With eBay's Q1 earnings beating expectations, is StockStory's 'sell' rating based on outdated AI analysis?
Will Meta's massive $135 billion AI investment justify its valuation, or is it an unsustainable risk for shareholders?
