PayPal remains a 'strong buy' due to attractive valuation, operational improvements, and ongoing growth initiatives despite mixed financial performance. Recent results show revenue and active accounts growth, improved profitability, and strong contributions from Venmo and branded checkout features. Management's focus on optimizing operations, share buybacks, and launching new products like Venmo Debit Card and PayPal Credit card enhance shareholder value.
PayPal stock is still down 15% YTD while many tech stocks and the broader S&P500 has recovered from the lows of April. PayPal faces competitive pressure from big tech players like Apple, but the company is showing good momentum in key segments. The number of payment transactions dipped by 7% YoY in the recent earnings, which needs to be closely watched.
The latest trading day saw Paypal (PYPL) settling at $70.83, representing a -5.32% change from its previous close.
