PYPL
BUY
A Covid winner and now a post-Covid buy Now known as Block. The app is brilliant and easy to use, now includes a buy-now and pay-later option after an acquisition of an app. Share recently surged 26%.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Believes electronic payment sector hit hard with increase in interest rates. Earnings growth rates not as large. Competitive space with many companies(PayPal, Visa etc.). Concern for future margins. Wait for more stability in market before buying shares.
COMMENT
Believes is very innovative company, and Jack Dorsey is very competent. Hard to know future of the company. In the right space, yet highly valued. Higher valuations and competitive marketplaces not congruent for very long. If there is a market pullback, could be hard on the companies stock.
DON'T BUY
In freefall and hasn't settled. Difficult time keeping its multiples and profitability up with rising interest rates. For a global payments player, look at PYPL, which has formed a bottom.
DON'T BUY
How will inflation impact them in the future? Now called Block. They far overpaid for an Australian company and that destroyed this stock.
DON'T BUY
Chart has been sideways and up and down. More concerning that stock's fallen below the 200-day MA, and the MA has started to turn. Higher valuation than others. Forward PE is 129x, 5.5x price to sales. Higher interest rates hit high valuations.
TOP PICK
Likes it more than PYPL. Ecosystem by offering services to merchants and consumers, and they're closing the loop. Being used as a one-stop shop. This is a perfect example of how fintech is disruptive. With so many features being rolled out, hard to grasp where the total addressable market is. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $296.19)
DON'T BUY
Fintechs have been under pressure lately except Affirm, and now they face more competition. SQ reports Thursday and he doesn't expect much.
WEAK BUY
SQ vs. PYPL Since 2018, they've been taking turns at leading. So one is not technically better than the other. For SQ, it's expensive at 135x earnings for a 35% growth rate. Price to sales is 6.2x, also not cheap. PYPL is 10x price to sales, and 48x PE for 20% long-term growth rate. PYPL seems cheaper and is a bit more conservative, safer. SQ has a bit more of a growth rate, but you're paying for that.
BUY
Buy now, pay later trend. Likes the space, as the business model is very strong. SQ bought Afterpay in Australia. He prefers this to AFRM.
BUY
They've expanded into loans to bus, P2P payments (their fastest business), and Bitcoin trading (the first to do so). The stock has pulled back 16%, so it's a buying opportunity for a long-term hold. He favours PayPal just slightly.
RISKY
Fintech has lots of long-term growth, so the space makes sense. 7x price to sales, 334x PE, 35% earnings growth rate. Expensive. Volatile. This 200-day MA could be a trading opportunity. Concerned about valuation. Higher rates will affect the high-growth names.
TOP PICK
Great fintech company. Great growth prospects. Main disruptor to the banking sector, reinforced by purchase of Afterpay. Potential to become one of the largest financial companies in the world. Start a position around $260, and add at 240 and 220. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $304.39)
BUY

Another champion of small businesses like SHOP and Etsy. Their POS system allows small businesspeople to borrow against the receipts. The stock is up 2,500% in the past 5 years.

DON'T BUY

A great, innovative company. JPMorgan's CEO admits that they got outwitted by the smaller Square. Their cash app is growing like gangbusters. His issue with the stock and others are its extreme valuation. There's so much liquidity in the system that money is taking big risks on good ideas, but trading now at 8-9x revenues. Much of the future success is already built into the current stock price.
