BUY on WEAKNESS

Rumours that PYPL is looking to purchase PINS around $70 a share. Pretty big nut for PYPL, but it would fit nicely into their model. PYPL's fallen off by 3%, and a further pullback would make it very interesting.

BUY

A fintech pick He's been pushing this for decades. It's pulled back to $256 from its $310 peak in the summer. In recent years, it's expanded into peer-to-peer payment for merchants, debit/credit cards and a buynow/pay later platform, crypto transfers and a digital wallet. Younger Americans have no faith in traditional banks--are hated--but they adore fintech like PayPal.

DON'T BUY

Part of the fintech revolution. Very expensive at 8-10x revenue, done very well, good execution. He prefers companies with a lower risk profile.

BUY

It's down 35 points from its high. In it's last report, management reported its separation from eBay that could hurt future earnings. That is now baked into shares, so buy this now.

STRONG BUY

He started buying late last year and he loves the business. It was spun off from Ebay and is now much bigger than Ebay. The business continues to fire on all cylinders. It is not as big in Canada as in the US. It competes with Square but trades at a much cheaper valuation. He really likes V-N but decided to by PYPL-Q instead. (Analysts’ price target is $322.00)

BUY

They're about to allow everyday users to sell anything by using their Venmo accounts

BUY

It used to be growing the top line around 17%. Now they expect to do it at 20%, compounded, over five years. The pandemic has helped accelerate their use. He plans to keep it.

BUY

Digital payments will continue to grow globally. Paypal is continuing to grow and opportunities continue to expand. Countries are moving away from cash to digital payments. The stock looks pricey but relative to cashflow, it is attractive.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly PYPL has seen its digital payment business grow with the pandemic e-commerce and contactless transactions. Earnings growth has been over 10% for 7 of the past 8 quarters. The company is sitting on over $18 billion in cash reserves. Earnings are being released tomorrow, so this has a little bit more short term volatility. We would buy this with a stop loss at $180, looking to achieve $311 -- upside potential exceeding 25%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $310.53)

PARTIAL BUY

They report next week and he expects a positive report. PYPL will aim to be the bank for billions around the world who don't have a bank. Shares have been erratic because secular growth stories are out of story now. Buy some before the report and some after.

TOP PICK

Huge in the US. Aims to be a member of the 20/20 club: 20% compound revenue growth and 20% compound earnings growth. Increased adoption creates the network effect via e-commerce and online shopping. Inflation protection. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $310.53)

HOLD

It's out of favour now in this pro-cyclical rotation. This can sink further, but if you believe in the story long-term, hold on.

WATCH

He's looking at it. Very well positioned in the payment space. Trading at almost 40x, so it's not cheap or for the faint of heart.

DON'T BUY

Paypal earns $3.50-$4.00 per share, which is around 80x earnings. People pay for expectation of flow of cashflow. There is hype in fintech. You must marry the opportunity for the price of it. Fintech presents a big opportunity. However, is the price worth it? Would pass on Paypal, and also on Mastercard even. Too expensive right now.

RISKY BUY

It's the world wide digital bank of the future. Speculative, yes, but it's less risky than before.
