PYPL Stock Recent News

PayPal has transitioned from high growth (and multiple) to low growth (and multiple), yet remains profitable with strong cash flow and balance sheet, making it a decent value investment. New CEO Alex Chriss has got the company back on track, reversing the decline in active users, introducing Fastlane and buying back stock at low valuations.

PayPal is showing good value despite some competitive headwinds which can hurt the margins. PayPal has reduced outstanding stock by 13.65% in the last three years, which equates to 4.75% CAGR EPS growth on a standalone basis. After the recent additional $15 billion in buyback authorization, the company has close to $20 billion to spend on buybacks, or 28% of outstanding stock at the current price.

Management's medium-term guidance suggests a sharp acceleration in growth, which would make the stock look unusually attractive at current levels. The company has a net cash balance sheet and is GAAP profitable. Management expects transaction margin growth to accelerate significantly by 2027, with earnings growth potentially reaching at least 20% over the long term.
