According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, EBay is going to spin off PayPal.
EBay Inc. said it plans to spin off its PayPal electronic-payments business into a separate publicly traded company next year, acceding to the wishes of activist investor Carl Icahn who had pushed for the company to split.
This news comes on the heels of a new mobile payment service from Apple and pressure from investor Carl Icahn to increase shareholder value by splitting up the company. In response to the news EBay went up seven percent. When it becomes a separate publically traded stock should we invest in PayPal?
EBay
EBay has been a publically traded company since 1998. From $1.60 a share it grew to nearly $60 a share by early 2004 and then fell back to $12 a share after the market crash. Subsequently EBay has returned to the fifty to sixty dollar a share range. This graph from Google Finance shows the NASDAQ:EBAY picture.
