How eBay Stock Can Bring You Monthly Income

Despite climbing 19% in the last three months, analysts expect eBay stock to remain mostly flat through the rest of 2017. That doesn't mean the profit opportunity is over, though. In fact, a new income opportunity is just beginning as the stock price starts to go flat.

Before we get into how to profit from flat stocks, here's a look at the eBay stock outlook…

EBay Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY) stock was volatile in 2016, but that volatility has ended. EBAY dropped 10% in October after announcing poor fiscal year 2016 earnings. Since then, eBay stock is up 19%, more than recovering from the initial losses.

EBAY stock is currently trading at $33.70 a share. Analysts surveyed by Yahoo Finance have a one-year price target for the stock at $34.41. That's a gain of just 1.4% for the next 12 months.
