00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Today, PayPal Holdings is trading just under seventy seven United

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.879
<v Speaker 1>States dollars per share, hovering around seventy six dollars and

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.279
<v Speaker 1>sixty six cents as of the latest clothes. The momentum

4
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>has been steadily upward, with the stock gaining for six

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>straight sessions and now up over two per cent in

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the past two weeks. Trading volume on the most recent

7
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>day was roughly nine million shares, a bit lower than

8
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>the average of about ten million, eight hundred thousand, indicating

9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>somewhat lighter activity than usual despite the price gains. This

10
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>rise in share price has coincided with a burst of

11
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>positive technical indicators, as the stock is situated in the

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>middle of a strong short term upward trend, and market

13
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>sentiment appears moderately bullish. Analytical activity around PayPal has been

14
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>notable in recent days. Kinnaker Genety Group maintains a by

15
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>rating with the target of ninety six United States dollars,

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>while Dertsche Bank initiated coverage with a hold and a

17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 1>lower price target of seventy five United States dollars. Bernstein

18
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>has just raised its target to eighty five United States dollars,

19
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>reflecting cautious optimism. The overall analyst consensus hovers around a

20
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>hold rating, with an average target price estimated at a

21
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>little over eighty two United States dollars. Analyst outlooks are split,

22
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>with two issuing cell ratings, but eighteen calling it a

23
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>buy and one naming it a strong buy. The price

24
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>to earnings ratio is currently around seventeen, suggesting middling growth

25
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>expectations in comparison to more rapid growth technology peers, but

26
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>possibly reflecting a certain degree of caution after last year's volatility.

27
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 1>There has not been any major company specific news in

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>recent days, but there has been some insider selling, including

29
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a notable transaction by an executive vice president in early June. However,

30
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.799
<v Speaker 1>the selling comes in the context of fairly wide market

31
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 1>swings an ongoing sector rotation away from fintech names. PayPal's

32
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>most recent earnings results were mixed, exceeding profit expectations but

33
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>falling slightly short on revenue, with earnings per share of

34
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>one dollar and thirty three cents on nearly seven billion,

35
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred million dollars in revenue. Overall, the picture for

36
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>PayPal stock is leaning positive in the short term, with

37
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 1>technical momentum building and analysts cautiously lifting price targets. However,

38
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>trading volume is quieter than the average, so further movement

39
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>may depend on upcoming earnings and broader market sentiment around

40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>digital payments in fintech
