Wedbush upgraded eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) from Neutral to Outperform, price target raised from $35 to $48.

Wedbush analyst says, "We believe EBAY is the best investment in the growth of mobile payments. We believe PayPal will capitalize on its superior position in mobile payments, extending its 25-30% growth for several years, turning into eBay’s largest business by 2014 and leading to significant multiple expansion."

"Raising 2012 estimates to $2.40 from $2.33 to reflect higher expectations from PayPal. This reflects flat PayPal growth at 27%, up from our previous expectation for a deceleration to 25%."
