- Tuesday, April 16, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday’s close: ALB, AXP, CCK, CLB, CVA, CYS, EBAY, EPB, KMP, NE, SCSS, SLM, SNDK, STLD Comment! [Earnings]
- Thursday, April 11, 6:06 PM ChannelAdvisor, provider of an product advertising/listing/optimizing platform used by online merchants, has filed for an $86.3M IPO under the fitting symbol ECOM. ChannelAdvisor posted 2012 revenue of $53.6M (+23% Y/Y), and a net loss of $4.9M. the company had 1.9K customers at year's end, including 27% of the top 500 U.S. retailers. eBay (EBAY) owns a piece of the company; both eBay and Amazon investors could be familiar with ChannelAdvisor due to the impact its monthly sales data can have on the shares of the e-commerce giants. (S-1) Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 5:18 PM PayPal (EBAY) acquires Iron Pearl, a startup developing software that aims to boost customer retention by analyzing user activity. Presumably, PayPal wants to use Iron Pearl's to uncover ways too increase transaction volumes among existing users. In a blog post, PayPal chief David Marcus (previous) praises Iron Pearl for developing "groundbreaking tools, methodologies and intellectual property, built on a new understanding of the social and cultural factors that drive the viral spread of products, combined with new approaches to data analysis and predictive modeling" Comment! [Tech, Consumer, M&A]
- Thursday, April 11, 2:41 PM PayPal's (EBAY +1%) partnership with Discover (DFS +0.1%) will launch on April 19. That's well ahead of a prior eBay forecast for the end of Q2. The tie-up will allow PayPal users to make payments using a phone number and a PIN at ~2M stores handling Discover cards - that's almost certainly playing a role in MasterCard's sudden interest in digital wallet fees. But questions remain about whether users will embrace the concept - cashiers at a Home Depot carrying out a PayPal trial report even early adopters sometimes went back to card-swiping, viewing it as more convenient. 1 Comment [Tech, Consumer, Financials]
- Monday, April 8, 10:08 AM eBay (EBAY +1.2%) trades higher after new data from ChannelAdvisor shows the firm's same-store sales grew at a 19.2% rate in March after February came in a disappointing 8.2% rate. During the month, fixed-price sales were up 24.2% and eBay Motors jumped 20.9%. Comment! [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, April 5, 2:51 PM eBay (EBAY -1%) enhances the Russian version of its website with many of the bells and whistles available to visitors in the U.S. The company says it will now use the local version of the PayPal system to accept payments and will run its first TV campaigns in the nation. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, April 5, 10:31 AM Sports Chalet is the latest retailer to jump into offering same-day delivery services, saying it will test a program to both sell and rent items from stores in the West. Though the same-day delivery concept is getting plenty crowded with ideas ranging from the use of lockers (AMZN), in-store pickup (ODP, HD), valets (EBAY), and even in the case of Wal-Mart (WMT) a potential trust-your-neighbor delivery service - widespread adoption still appears far away to retail analysts. What to watch: To protect margins, retailers are expected to slip in some fees on same-day delivery. Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, April 3, 1:37 PM PayPal (EBAY) is expanding into merchant financing: the online payments leader has already conducted U.K. tests for a service offering up to £25K in financing to eBay sellers, and says it plans U.S. tests later this year. PayPal's efforts comes as Amazon launches a lending service for 3rd-party merchants, and as startup Kabbage raises $75M in debt to advance to eBay/Amazon merchants (among others). eBay already offers consumer e-commerce financing through its Bill Me Later unit. (PayPal growth forecasts) Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, April 2, 10:24 AM Groupon (GRPN -6.9%) "has a largely unproven business model, a wide ranging global business mix in transformation, and is undergoing a management change," writes UBS' Eric Sheridan. The daily deals leader is the only company given a Sell rating in a coverage launch for Internet stocks. Google (GOOG +0.6%), eBay (EBAY +1.1%), Yahoo (YHOO +1.2%), AOL (AOL +0.7%), Yelp (YELP +2.4%), and InterActiveCorp (IACI +2.1%) have been started at Buy, and Amazon (AMZN +0.4%), Facebook (FB +1.3%), LinkedIn (LNKD -0.2%), and Zynga (ZNGA +0.3%) at Neutral. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Monday, April 1, 6:42 PM eBay (EBAY) rebrands its Shopping.com search engine as the eBay Commerce Network. The move drives home Shopping.com's evolution into an e-commerce ad platform, one that has 4K clients and publishes listings on other sites (now including eBay.com). eBay appears to have Google (GOOG) in its crosshairs: the rebrand comes a few months after Google successfully adopted a paid listing model for Google Shopping, and less than 2 months after it bought e-commerce ad services firm Channel Intelligence. Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, April 1, 1:40 PM eBay (EBAY +3.7%) reportedly leads a $50M funding round for Snapdeal, a fast-growing Indian e-commerce marketplace that now claims 20M users and is expected to handle ~$400M in transactions this year. Relative to China, where Alibaba has grown into a colossus, India's e-commerce penetration rates are still low. Meanwhile, sell-side praise continues to pour in for eBay's analyst day (previous). Baird and Cantor are pleased with eBay's strong margin forecasts for PayPal, in light of digital wallet fee concerns. (analyst day slides) Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move]
- Monday, April 1, 9:26 AM eBay (EBAY) +2.5% on an upgrade to Buy from Canaccord, which is raising its PT to $67 from $56. Separately, Jefferies (Buy) is raising its PT to $66 from $62 in response to eBay's bullish analyst day remarks (I, II). "Per management, eBay has built the platform ... that could help its clients survive and thrive in this new world of omnichannel retail. With this transition, eBay estimates its addressable market expands 10x." Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Thursday, March 28, 5:12 PM More on eBay's (EBAY +4.7%) analyst day: 1) eBay forecasts a 14% revenue CAGR through 2015, leading to 2015 sales of $21.5B-$23.5B. EPS is expected to show a 15%-19% CAGR, and total free cash flow over the next 3 years is expected to exceed $11B. 2012 free cash flow was $2.6B. 2) PayPal is expected to post a 22% CAGR over the next 3 years, leading to 2015 sales of $9.5B-$10.5B. PayPal's transaction volume is expected to double by 2015 to $290B. 3) eBay hopes to double its active user base to 200M by 2015, and grow sales to emerging markets by 4x.

- Thursday, March 28, 3:59 PM A trial for Google's (GOOG -1.1%) same-day delivery service is underway in San Francisco. In addition to Target and Babies 'R' Us (previous), partners include Walgreens, Staples, Office Depot, and American Eagle. Google hasn't settled on pricing for a full launch; TechCrunch previously reported an annual fee of $64-$69 (below Amazon Prime's $79) was being considered. San Francisco is also one of the locations for eBay's (EBAY) same-day trial. The service could give Google more data on consumer shopping habits, which in turn could improve ad targeting. (also) Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, March 28, 1:47 PM eBay (EBAY +2.3%) will enable $300B worth of commerce in 2015 via Marketplaces, PayPal, and GSI, up from $175B in 2012, CEO John Donahoe predicts during the company's analyst day (webcast). That's going over well with the Street, as is a forecast Marketplaces' merchandise volume will rise to $110B in 2015 from $75B last year; JPMorgan has been expecting $101.9B. Aided by mobile, international, and local commerce growth, eBay expects Marketplaces to grow "at least" at e-commerce market rates, after years of underperforming. Comment! [Tech, Consumer, On the Move, Earnings]
- Wednesday, March 27, 11:25 AM "Something meaningful shocked the eCommerce ecosystem in January," writes Stifel's Jordan Rohan in his contrarian note on Google (GOOG -1.2%). Search engine marketing (SEM) firm IgnitionOne saw a 9% Y/Y drop in ad spend in Jan., followed by subdued growth of 9% in Feb. and 11% in March. Rohan, who also reports hearing Jan. mobile banner ad buying was weak (a negative for MM), does admit other SEMs saw mid-teens growth, but points out Google shares have little margin for error. "Google replaced Apple in tech portfolios as the comfort food trade in mobile..." AMZN +1.5%. EBAY -1.7%. 1 Comment [Tech]
