Experts have mixed opinions on PayPal Holdings Inc. The company has shown signs of growth and turnaround, particularly with the contribution from Venmo, but also faces challenges due to increased competition and slowing growth. The new CEO and strategic deals could potentially drive future success, but concerns about overvaluation and lack of clear catalysts remain. Overall, the stock is seen as having potential, but also risks, with a focus on cost-saving and revenue generation as key factors for future performance.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 27/23, Up 59%)

Buying value in technology is often a misstep, but this one came through. Has resurrected growth in a few areas. Venmo has helped. Had a nice move, so he took his $$ off the table.

TOP PICK

He called up a five year chart to look at the bigger picture pattern. He likes the cup formation with a trend down and then trending up but not aggressively. The lows and highs are getting higher. It is not overbought. There are enough fundamentals that the stock could do well.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 07/23, Up 41%)

A year ago, the stock was very out of favour and losing market share. But they have restructured to impress the market. In recent days has taken some profits. It still has growth constraints.

0
BUY

The new CEO is making big, strategic deals behind the scenes. He expects something with the Near-Field communication chip. Pay with Venmo is a plus. This continues to make 52-week highs that nobody is paying attention to. He's sticking with it.

DON'T BUY

It was a pioneer in its field but there is lots of competition now - it is not in a propriatory space. Asia has good opportunities for this sector but PayPal is too expensive for Asia.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 18/24, Down 4.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with PYPL has triggered its stop at $58.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with our previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment loss of 2%.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate PYPL, who serves 35 million online merchants, as a TOP PICK.  Operating income grew 15% over the quarter supported by widening margins.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while shares are aggressively bought back and debt is reduced.  It trades at 15x earnings, 3x book and supports a 21% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $58, looking to achieve $76 -- upside potential of 24%.  Yield 0%

BUY

Owns shares, and expecting further growth. New management team will lead the company into better times. Competition from Apple not a concern, but believes technology is still relevant.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate PYPL as a TOP PICK, but continue to recommend a tight stop at $58.  We like that cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back.  It trades at 15x earnings -- about 50% lower than the five year average PE -- and supports a 21% ROE.  Market analysts like the changes being made incorporating AI, so we will see if the market agrees.  We look for upside towards $71 -- potential gain of 18%.  Yield 0%

WATCH

He used to avoid this, but its PE has fallen to 15x PE. New changes include a new CEO and will launch an ad business. Interesting to look at this and he is warming up to this.

(A Top Pick Apr 06/23, Down 10%)

He shouldn't have bought value in the tech sector. There are other pay platforms coming out now. However it has done some re-structuring with new management, has massive cash flow with a clean balance sheet. Trades at 11 X forward earnings.

Our PAST TOP PICK with PYPL is progressing well.  To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $53) to $58 at this time.

DON'T BUY

Does not own shares (never has). Very difficult to determine future of business. Lots of competition. Very cheap - but revenue not growing. Unsure on catalyst for company, and would not recommend buying. Prospects don't look bright. 

0
HOLD

Became bloated during Covid, now restructuring. A lot more competition now. Growth will be substantially slower. Market's adjusting to its new reality. Caters to small businesses, and there's growth there. Generally, global payment systems will do quite well.
