What happened
Shares of eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY) got crushed on Thursday after the company reported financial results for the first quarter of 2021. Q1 results were actually quite strong, but Wall Street didn't like the company's forward guidance. As a result, the stock was down 11% as of 10:15 a.m. EDT.
So what
For Q1, eBay's revenue grew to more than $3 billion, which was up 42% from the comparable quarter last year. And net income was even better, sporting a year-over-year increase of 45%. During the quarter, the company also generated $855 million in free cash flow (FCF), which was available for buying back shares and paying its quarterly dividend.
Now what
Modest user growth explains why eBay's outlook is tepid. As we move farther away from the coronavirus lockdowns, its business seems to be normalizing. Management is guiding for second-quarter revenue of $2.98 billion to $3.03 billion, which is 12% to 14% year-over-year growth. However, that's flat from Q1.
What happened
Shares of eBay ( EBAY -0.64% ) were down 9.6% as of 3:15 p.m. EDT after the e-commerce leader announced reasonably solid third-quarter results but followed with a disappointing forward outlook.
So what
Regarding the former, eBay's quarterly revenue was roughly flat on a year-over-year basis, at $2.649 billion, but would have increased 2% had it not been for the negative impact of foreign-currency exchange.
NASDAQ: EBAY
The company's number of active buyers grew 4%, to 183 million this quarter. But revenue from its core Marketplace segment also grew a modest 1% at constant currencies, to $2.1 billion, and gross merchandise volume fell 2% at constant currencies, to $20.5 billion.
Now what
For the current fourth quarter of 2019, eBay sees revenue of between $2.77 billion and $2.82 billion, good for a change in organic currency-neutral growth of negative 1% to positive 1%, with adjusted net income per share of $0.73 to $0.76. Most analysts were modeling earnings near the top end of that range on revenue of $2.85 billion.

The e-commerce giant's outlook isn't as robust as its past performance
Rich has been a Fool since 1998 and writing for the site since 2004. After 20 years of patrolling the mean streets of suburbia, he hung up his badge and gun to take up a pen full time.
What happened
Shares of eBay ( NASDAQ:EBAY) were down over 7% heading into midday trading Thursday after the online e-commerce platform reported third-quarter earnings after the market closed yesterday.
So what
eBay beat analyst expectations on the top and bottom line, with revenue of $2.61 billion, up 25% from last year and well ahead of the $2.48 billion Wall Street was anticipating.
Now what
Although such earnings beats tend to cause stock prices to jump, eBay's guidance for the fourth quarter had analysts wondering whether the boost the e-commerce site got from consumers visiting during the coronavirus pandemic would fade.
What happened
eBay ( EBAY -2.36% ) shareholders pretty much matched the market last month. The stock declined 13% compared to a 12.5% dip in the S&P 500, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
So what
As one of the biggest internet retailers, eBay's business is sensitive to the economic growth slump that has struck most of the world since mid-March due to COVID-19 containment measures. However, investors were just as interested in challenges to the company's business model and executive team.
NASDAQ: EBAY
An activist investor ramped up pressure on the marketplace last month by nominating four candidates for election to the board of directors. eBay has called the move a disappointing distraction at a time when management is focused on guiding the company through the coronavirus pandemic.
Now what
The tech company hasn't scheduled its annual meeting yet, which will be the venue for new elections to the board of directors. That event typically occurs in late May.
