We're upgrading PayPal after Q3 FY24 earnings results and outlook pulled back the stock. Q3 results show promising profitability shift, with transaction margin growing to 46.6% and profits up 14% Y/Y, confirming management's on the right track for profitable growth. PayPal also remains cheap relative to the peer group.
Investors looking for stocks in the Internet - Software sector might want to consider either Paypal (PYPL) or Palo Alto Networks (PANW). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
This is the kind of trend that can lift the stock price long-term.
PayPal reported third quarter results and although results were still solid, growth is slowing down a bit. But over the long run, I assume that PayPal will continue to grow its top line and also improve its margins. Additionally, PayPal is using share buybacks in an aggressive, but clever way.

Zacks.com users have recently been watching Paypal (PYPL) quite a bit. Thus, it is worth knowing the facts that could determine the stock's prospects.
It's challenging to find a deal like this in today's stock market that's near all-time highs.
PayPal's current stock price does not reflect its true market potential, offering investors a rare chance to capitalize on its undervaluation. The company's strategic focus on launching innovative products and initiatives is set to drive substantial profitability growth. With its strong market position and forward-thinking strategies, PayPal is poised for significant upside, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
PayPal reported positive Q3 2024 results, including a 1% growth in active accounts and an increase in its transaction margin to 46.6%, driven by growth in Venmo and Braintree. The fintech raised its 2024 profit forecast slightly and anticipates up to $6 billion in share buybacks, particularly with seasonal eCommerce spending expected to rise amid lower inflation. While PayPal's growth rate lags behind faster-growing competitors like SoFi, its lower profit multiple presents a compelling valuation, especially as it remains a preferred payment platform among merchants.
We also talk about some lesser-known names trying to follow Berkshire Hathaway's path.
The company still trades far below intrinsic value with a large margin of safety despite the stock's run-up and accounting for a slowdown in growth. Trading slower growth in the short term for a better margin profile is healthy and beneficial to the business, and we can already see the results. By accounting for the risks associated with the ad segment but not including the benefits, we are essentially receiving all the upside from it when it launches for free.
Investors were underwhelmed with PayPal's projections, despite the company increasing its forecast once again.
