EBAY Paid Holders $19 Billion While The Stock Trailed The Market

Over the last five years, eBay has handed $19 billion back to its shareholders, a figure equal to about 40% of its entire current market value. The company showered owners with cash while the stock itself lagged the market. This raises a critical question: was holding worth it, and is it now?
