PayPal: Earnings Are Mixed, Stock Is Still Very Cheap
PayPal is trading near a FWD PEG ratio of 1 when looking at 2026 earnings expectations. PayPal trades below long-term growth rates in earnings, revenue, and free cash flow. Q1 earnings showed amazing growth in margin expansion and profitability, but revenue growth being only 1% is still the one black eye.

PayPal Q1 Earnings: The Market Is Missing The Forest For The Trees
The market reaction to PayPal's Q1 2025 earnings was quite mixed, and this shows that the market is still undecided about the company's future. At the same time, the earnings release contained some important positives and, in my view, was yet another step in the right direction. The company's capital allocation is also working in favor of long-term investors and is one more reason to retain my Buy rating on the stock amidst the falling consumer confidence.

PayPal Looks Like One Of The Most Undervalued Stocks In The Market
PayPal's Q1 2025 performance was strong, with $7.8 billion in revenue and a non-GAAP EPS of $1.33, beating estimates by $0.17. Despite doubling revenue and net income since 2017 and allocating $30 billion to share repurchases, PYPL shares remain undervalued, trading at 2017 levels. I recommend shifting from share repurchases to a hybrid approach of dividends and buybacks to unlock value and attract dividend-focused investors.

PayPal: It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn
PayPal Holdings, Inc.'s stock has declined significantly, presenting a buying opportunity as it remains undervalued with a favorable risk-reward ratio despite short-term struggles. Q1 2025 results show minimal revenue growth but strong operating income and EPS growth, though free cash flow declined sharply. Management maintains optimistic long-term growth targets, expecting double-digit growth in transaction market dollars and non-GAAP EPS, supported by share buybacks and cost improvements.
