I was fortunate enough to sit in on my second eBay Inc. analyst day today (although anyone with a computer monitor and an Internet connection could have done so too by accessing the live webcast). The company projected double-digit annual revenue and earnings growth for 2011-2013, with revenues expected to reach at least $13 billion in 2013 compared to approximately $9 billion in 2010.
“New rules of retail are being written today,” said eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe. “Online and offline commerce are changing and converging, and technology is dramatically influencing how consumers connect, shop and pay. We are at the forefront of shopping innovation. We believe we have core businesses, platforms and assets that strongly position us to compete, win and lead on a global scale. We are confident that we will lead the next generation of commerce.”
