A TikTok ban in the United States is approaching, as the Supreme Court signals support for enforcing a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42495579/lawmakers-demand-apple-and-google-remove-tiktok-by-jan-19-what-you-need-to-know"> Jan. 19 deadline.</a>
Here's a look at what happens to your app if the ban goes through, what could happen next, and what companies stand to benefit.
TikTok Ban Nears: The Supreme Court recently<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42919029/supreme-court-hears-tiktok-oral-arguments"> heard oral arguments </a>from TikTok and parent company ByteDance ahead of a pending Jan. 19 ban. Based on the initial arguments, the ban seems likely to go through.
If the TikTok ban is upheld, Jan. 19 would mark the date that ByteDance would need to sell off the U.S. division of the company or face a ban of the app on app stores from Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
The ban would mean people who don't have the app already downloaded, like an estimated 170 million Americans, wouldn't be able to download it. 
For those who do have the TikTok app, the usability would quickly change. There would be no support for the app, no updates and the For You page could quickly go silent.
While this means that people would still be able to use TikTok, the lack of ability by ByteDance to push through any security updates and features could quickly make the app a risk to users with people targeting any vulnerabilities they can find that can't be remedied for users like other apps that can be updated.
ByteDance could opt to block access to TikTok in the U.S., a move that, while costly in terms of users and revenue, could increase pressure to overturn the ban or raise the valuation of a potential sale of its U.S. division, as existing users might become more vocal.
The U.S. government could also try to stop access to TikTok by having American internet service providers block the app.
If the ban is enforced, a potential trend to watch could be users listing phones with TikTok pre-installed for sale on auction platforms like eBay (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>).
In 2020, some owners of iPhones with the mobile game "Fortnite" downloaded on them listed their phones for sale on eBay, as reported by PCMag. The move came after "Fortnite" owner Epic Games decided to skirt Apple's 30% cut of payments by offering a direct payment option. Apple removed the game from its app store, which kicked off a lengthy battle <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/05/20947603/epic-games-vs-apple-lawsuit-reveals-just-how-much-money-fortnite-has-made">between the two companies.</a>
Users also tried to sell their phones with mobile game "Flappy Bird" for high amounts of money back in 2014, as reported by <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/flappy-bird-equipped-iphones-selling-for-100k-on-ebay">PCMag</a>. The creator of the hit game pulled it from app stores after it hit number one and saw huge usage. One phone reached a price of $99,900 on eBay before the auction company <a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-ebay-99900-iphone-flappy-bird-20140210-story.html">took </a>the listing down.

What Happens Next: There are several <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42834240/kevin-oleary-joins-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-as-pending-ban-looms">interested parties in buying</a> the U.S. division of TikTok. A final Supreme Court ruling could see ByteDance cave to the pressure and sell off the U.S. division, which would negate the pending ban.
With the ban set for Jan. 19 and President-elect Donald Trump taking office on Jan. 20, there is also the potential that the incoming president works on some type of deal to please everyone and keep TikTok up and running.
Previously supportive of banning TikTok, Trump has now flipped and is supportive of keeping the platform running. The flip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42654769/tiktok-ban-under-trump-president-elect-wants-to-keep-months-after-pelosi-said-follow-the-money">could be related</a> to a key ByteDance investor being a Trump donor and ally.
Who Benefits From Ban: A ban of TikTok could hurt content creators who have been using the platform for years and turned it into a source of income.
Some content creators have already started producing more content on other platforms, encouraging their TikTok followers to connect with them elsewhere in preparation for a potential ban.
One of the biggest winners from a TikTok ban could be Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), the owner of Facebook and Instagram.
Meta has worked on launching short video content similar to TikTok through Instagram Reels.
Another potential winner could be YouTube, the video platform owned by Alphabet Inc.
YouTube Shorts, which are short video clips, have grown in popularity and could be an easy transition for TikTok creators to move over to.
Other<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42512436/tiktok-ban-could-lead-to-more-time-spent-on-youtube-reddit-snapchat"> potential winners</a> could be Snap Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>) and Reddit Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>).

Wall Street faced heavy selling pressure in its first trading session after former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, as a series of economic developments rattled interest rate and energy markets, sparking heightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risk aversion among investors.</a>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding expectations of a slowdown to 160,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, defying forecasts that had anticipated it to remain at 4.2%.
This red-hot labor market data spurred traders to recalibrate their interest-rate projections. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, expectations for a rate cut have been postponed even further, with markets now fully pricing in a reduction only by September 2025.
Adding to market turmoil, oil prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — surged more than 3% to $76 per barrel after the Biden administration imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports. These measures targeted major Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers and opaque trading networks, intensifying pressure on Moscow&#8217;s energy revenues.
Rising interest rate concerns and inflation uncertainty weighed heavily on equities. The latest University of Michigan consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations rise to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped nearly 2%, hovering around the 5,800-point level, fully erasing gains made since the election. 
Technology and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with sharper declines across both sectors.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 109.70, marking its highest level since November 2022. The greenback is on track to notch its sixth consecutive weekly gain and has risen in 14 of the past 15 weeks, underscoring its dominance as a safe haven amid market turbulence.
Treasury yields climbed further as fixed-income investors braced for the possibility of persistent inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield rose seven basis points to 4.76%, nearing its late October 2023 highs.
The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched the 5% mark, a level last seen in October 2023 and previously in August 2007.
Gold prices offered a haven for risk-averse investors, climbing 0.9% as geopolitical uncertainties mounted.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw some dip-buying activity, up by 1.2%, snapping a three-day losing streak during which it shed 10% of its value.

Wall Street Tumbles On Blowout Payrolls, Oil Rallies To $76, US Dollar Hits 26-Month Highs: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Ahead of the fourth-quarter reporting season, Goldman Sachs&#8217; Eric Sheridan sized up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/e-commerce">the e-commerce industry</a>.
In an analyst note published on Wednesday, Sheridan issued ratings for the following companies:
<ul>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) with a Buy rating and a price target of $240.</li>
<li>eBay Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) with a Sell rating, raising its price target from $53 to $55.</li>
<li>Chewy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>) with a Buy rating and a price target of $40.</li>
<li>Etsy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>) with a Sell rating, lowering its price target from $47 to $45.</li>
<li>Wayfair Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) with a Neutral rating and a price target of $50.</li>
</ul>
Main Takeaways: Sheridan found the fourth quarter showed stable performance, boosted by stronger-than-expected holiday online sales. Non-discretionary and subscription-based purchases drove growth, especially among higher-income households.
The analyst is bullish on Amazon and Chewy for their customer loyalty, and in Amazon&#8217;s case, its subscription. Sheridan noted that consumers &#8220;traded down&#8221; on price to close the year.
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Buy ratings on Amazon and Chewy reflects &#8220;continued preference&#8221; for e-commerce companies that are exposed to less discretionary categories with high repeat behavior through subscriptions and/or essentials purchasing, Sheridan says. Online spending &#8220;remains volatile across discretionary categories and lower-income households.&#8221;
Chewy and Etsy have fewer repeat purchases and are driven by &#8220;enthusiast&#8221; buyers, he adds.
Sheridan also believes company margins will disperse in 2025, with Amazon and Chewy as beneficiaries and eBay and Etsy on the losing end.
Sheridan expects to see &#8220;a divergence in margin trajectories&#8221; between:
<ul>
<li>Companies that can balance stronger demand with targeted growth investments and produce attractive incremental margins with revenue outpacing expenses (Amazon, Chewy) and</li>
<li>A potentially more challenging margin outlook for the companies where we expect revenue to remain pressured (eBay, Etsy, Wayfair) &#8220;absent any additional cost reduction measures.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
Sheridan anticipates online retail companies will maintain their commitment to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/buybacks">share buybacks in 2025</a>.

Goldman Sachs Analyst Is Bullish On Amazon But Not EBay Or Etsy

eBay's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NYSE">EBAY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 6.2% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 20.91 million shares sold short, which is 4.99% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.34 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>eBay Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736434823_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for eBay has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing eBay's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, eBay's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 10.33%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

12 Consumer Discretionary Stocks Moving In Wednesday's Pre-Market Session

Wall Street began Wednesday with muted trading, as investors braced for the release of the December Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes. During that meeting, policymakers delivered their third consecutive interest rate cut but struck a hawkish tone on inflation and the monetary<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral"> policy outlook for 2025.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were little moved, with sectors showing tight variations. Traders appear to be holding their breath as they await insight into the Fed's future policy direction.
President-elect Donald Trump emerged in the spotlight as CNN reported his team is considering an &#8220;economic emergency plan&#8221; that would bypass Congress to expedite the use of broad-based tariffs.
The dollar, meanwhile, surged further, continuing its relentless rally. The greenback is now targeting its sixth consecutive week of gains, having risen in 14 out of the last 15 weeks. U.S. Treasury yields ticked higher early in the session before easing slightly as traders adjusted positions ahead of the FOMC minutes.
On the economic front, the latest ADP private employment data showed weaker-than-expected job creation in December, potentially signaling a cooling labor market heading into the new year.
In commodities, gold rose 0.8%, buoyed by increasing geopolitical and trade uncertainties. On Tuesday, Trump floated a series of controversial proposals, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">the annexation of Canada</a>, the purchase of Greenland from Denmark, threats to NATO allies to increase defense spending and imposing higher tariffs on Mexico.
The cryptocurrency market extended its decline, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) falling more than 2% to trade below $95,000. Over the past two sessions, the leading cryptocurrency has shed over 7% of its value, erasing most of its year-to-date gains.

Wall Street Mixed Ahead Of Fed Minutes, Dollar Bolsters Strength, Bitcoin Falls Below $95,000: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Shares of e-commerce company eBay Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) are trading higher on Wednesday after Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) said it is rolling out a new test that will integrate listings from eBay <a target="_blank" href="https://about.fb.com/news/2024/11/our-response-to-the-european-commissions-decision-on-facebook-marketplace/" rel="noreferrer noopener">directly on Facebook Marketplace</a>.
This initiative will initially launch in Germany, France, and the U.S.
Through this collaboration, eBay sellers will gain access to a wider audience on Facebook, while Marketplace users will have the opportunity to explore an expanded selection of products from eBay&#8217;s vast network.
Transactions will still be completed through eBay, maintaining the integrity of each platform&#8217;s ecosystem.
By merging listings from two major platforms, Facebook Marketplace aims to enhance user experience while allowing eBay sellers to tap into Facebook&#8217;s extensive user base.

This move is in response to European Commission&#8217;s recent decision that Facebook Marketplace hindered competition in the European Union&#8217;s online marketplace sector.
EU regulators contended that Facebook&#8217;s parent company is linking its free Marketplace services with the social network to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40919557/meta-braces-for-costly-eu-fine-over-marketplace-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">disadvantage its competitors</a>.
Meta continues to appeal the ruling, highlighting that it built Facebook Marketplace to meet consumer demand and provide a new choice among European buyers.
Facebook Marketplace was launched in 2016 to provide an easy-to-use way to discover, buy, and sell items at no charge. Despite the European Commission&#8217;s claims, Meta asserts that no evidence of harm to competitors exists, pointing to the ongoing success of other major players such as eBay and Leboncoin.
Price Action: EBAY shares are trading higher by 11.8% at $70.66 at the last check Wednesday.

Citigroup Maintains Buy on eBay, Raises Price Target to $75

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) is reportedly close to merging its South Korean operations with E-Mart Inc. in a deal valued at approximately $4 billion. This strategic move aims to bolster their position in South Korea&#8217;s competitive online retail market.
What Happened: The potential joint venture would combine the e-commerce assets of both companies, creating a stronger entity to challenge local competitors like Naver Corp. and Coupang Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPNG#NYSE">CPNG</a>). Discussions are ongoing, and while an announcement could come as soon as this week, finalizing the agreement may take longer, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-26/alibaba-is-said-to-near-4-billion-deal-with-korea-s-e-mart">reported</a> on Thursday.
The merger comes as Alibaba seeks to expand its international presence amid slowing growth in its core Chinese market. Meanwhile, E-Mart has been actively growing its e-commerce segment, notably acquiring a controlling interest in eBay Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBAY#NASDAQ">EBAY</a>) South Korean marketplace in 2021 for roughly $3 billion.
Neither Alibaba nor E-Mart has commented on the matter yet to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>.

This development occurs against a backdrop of declining consumer confidence in South Korea, impacted by political instability following President Yoon Suk Yeol&#8217;s&nbsp;declaration of martial law and&nbsp;subsequent impeachment.
Why It Matters: The potential merger between Alibaba and E-Mart is part of Alibaba&#8217;s broader strategy to refocus on its core e-commerce operations. Earlier this year,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36912036/alibaba-plans-to-sell-off-grocery-and-retail-assets-doubles-down-on-e-commerce-core">Alibaba announced plans</a>&nbsp;to divest several consumer sector assets, including its grocery business Freshippo and retailer RT-Mart. This move aligns with the company&#8217;s strategic pivot under Chairman Joe Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu, aiming to shed non-essential and unprofitable units.
Moreover, Alibaba&#8217;s recent investment of $71.4 million in South Korean apparel brand Ably Corp has turned it into the country&#8217;s first unicorn of 2024, highlighting Alibaba&#8217;s growing interest in the South Korean market. This investment valued <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42260627/south-korea-gets-its-first-unicorn-of-2024-as-china-based-alibaba-invests-714m-in-ably-corp">Ably at over $1 billion</a>, marking a significant increase from its previous valuation.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is EBAY A Good Stock To Buy?</h3>
When deciding whether to buy a stock, there are some key fundamentals investors may want to consider. One of these factors is revenue growth. Buying a stock is essentially a bet that the business will continue to grow and generate profits in the future.
It's also important to pay attention to valuation when deciding whether to buy a stock. EBay has a forward P/E ratio of 12.14. This means investors are paying $12.14 for each dollar of expected earnings in the future. The average forward P/E ratio of eBay's peers is 33.61.
Other important metrics to look at include a company's profitability, balance sheet, performance relative to a benchmark index and valuation compared to peers. For in-depth analysis tools and important financial data, check out <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga PRO</a>. 
EBAY Price Action: EBay shares are up approximately 45% year-to-date. The stock was up 0.42% at $63.91 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h2>Get to Know eBay Better</h2>
EBay operates one of the largest e-commerce marketplaces in the world, with $73 billion in 2023 gross merchandise volume rendering the firm a top 10 global e-commerce company. It generates revenue from listing fees, advertising, revenue-sharing arrangements with service providers, and managed payments, with its platform connecting more than 130 million buyers and roughly 20 million sellers across almost 190 global markets at the end of 2023. EBay generates just north of 50% of its GMV in international markets, with a large presence in the UK, Germany, and Australia.
<h3>A Deep Dive into eBay's Financials</h3>
Market Capitalization: Indicating a reduced size compared to industry averages, the company's market capitalization poses unique challenges.
Positive Revenue Trend: Examining eBay's financials over 3 months reveals a positive narrative. The company achieved a noteworthy revenue growth rate of 3.04% as of 30 September, 2024, showcasing a substantial increase in top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company trails behind with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Consumer Discretionary sector.
Net Margin: eBay's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional net margin, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable net margin of 24.61%, the company showcases strong profitability and effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): eBay's ROE excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching 11.59%. This signifies robust financial management and efficient use of shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): eBay's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROA, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROA of 3.15%, the company showcases efficient use of assets and strong financial health.
Debt Management: eBay's debt-to-equity ratio is below the industry average at 1.45, reflecting a lower dependency on debt financing and a more conservative financial approach.
<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.
