[cnxvideo id=”625478″ placement=”ros”]When eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY) released its most recent quarterly earnings report late on Wednesday, the response from investors was not entirely positive, and analysts shied away from the stock for the most part.

24/7 Wall St. has included a few key highlights from the earnings report, as well as what a few analysts have said about the company after it reported.

The e-commerce giant posted $0.49 in earnings per share (EPS) and $2.22 billion in revenue. The consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters had called for $0.48 in EPS and revenue of $2.21 billion. The first-quarter from last year reportedly had EPS of $0.47 and $2.14 billion in revenue.

During this quarter, eBay added 2 million active buyers across its platforms, for a total of 169 million.
