Premium contentAs sector e-commerce sales have returned to pre-pandemic levels, we reiterate this online payment fintech as a TOP PICK PICK. It trades 18x earnings, supports a ROE of 18%, and trades at 3.4x book. We like that quarterly cash reserves are growing, while shares are bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $50) to $53, looking to achieve $74 -- upside potential of 20%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $74.82)
He's been bearish this all year until recently. Could be potential. It has 428 million active users, 35 millions merchants and annual payments are $1.5 trillion. Enormous. Bad news is there's a lot of competition: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shopify. That's why shares have been down and trading half the PE of its peers. Is down 14% this year. There's a new CEO with a good track record; he will shrink the cost base and find more revenue.
Premium contentHe still owns a small position, less than 1%. Leader in transaction and payment processing. Venmo has taken off extremely well in Europe, not as much traction in NA. Reporting has been great, new CEO. Good runway.

Shares have come down a lot to 11x forward PE. The payments space is risky, and PYPL has lost market share. They have Venmo, are on Amazon as payment system, generate free cash flow, and new managers are oriented to profitability.

John ZechnerPremium contentRecently reported earnings beat analyst expectations. If the small business segment of customers, their bread and butter, can show improvement going forward there is great upside. It trades at 15x earnings, under 3x book value and supports a 20% ROE. Cash reserves are stable, while the company aggressively buys back shares. We recommend a stop-loss at $37, looking to achieve $76 -- upside potential over 30%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $76.73)
Gorgeous run, and then a huge collapse. Got way ahead of intrinsic value. Recently broke support, potential to fall to $52-53. Value down there would be pretty good. He's nervous. Getting cheap, and should bounce nicely.
