Analysts Identify 10 Least Risky Internet Stocks To Invest In

8. eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY)

eBay Inc. is an operator of marketplace platforms. The company’s platform connects sellers and buyers by enabling them to sell, buy, and list different products. Its marketplace platform consists of its off-platform businesses, the eBay suite of mobile apps, and the online marketplace at eBay.com.

eBay has just announced a new partnership with Checkout.com, a digital payments platform. The move is aimed at making payments easier for the company’s international customers. eBay’s Vice President of global payments and financial services had this to say on the occasion:

“The addition of Checkout.com to our partnership ecosystem highlights our continued commitment toward accelerating customer and business growth through uniquely eBay payments and financial services.”

eBay has also shifted its focus to selling pre-owned items, a move that protects it from giants like Alibaba and Amazon, which primarily sell new products. This also means the company doesn’t enjoy the same valuation as these leaders, but eBay is profitable and operates at scale, something that most of its competitors cannot boast about. As long as investors are willing to understand that the company is successfully carving out its own niche, they should not have any problem betting on its success.
