<v Speaker 1>seventh spot among the most actively traded stocks, which makes

<v Speaker 1>it moderately active but not a high volume standout at

8
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 1>this moment. Over the past year, the stock has seen

9
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>a decline of about two point two five percent, and

10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>year to date a return is around negative twenty five

11
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:42.000

12
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred ninety four dollars five years ago, underlining the depth

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of its downward move from its all time highs, although

14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>it still maintains a large market capitalization near sixty five

15
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>billion United States currency. Recent news has highlighted a sustained

16
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>debate among investors over whether PayPal is undervalued, especially when

17
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>compared to peer companies like MasterCard. Analysts have pointed to

18
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a twelve point three percent year over year earnings per

19
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>share growth, a forward price to earnings ratio just above thirteen,

20
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 1>and consistent earnings out performance across the last four quarters.

21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>The company's latest reported quarterly revenue exceeded estimates at roughly

22
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>eight billion, two hundred ninety million United States currency, with

23
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>full year earnings per share guidance set in the range

24
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>of five dollars and fifteen cents to five dollars and

25
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>thirty cents per share. Projected annual revenue growth rates for

26
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six are in the

27
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 1>four to six percent range. From the analyst community, the

28
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>consensus rating for PayPal is hold, based on thirty three

29
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>brokerage reports, with the average price target set at about

30
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>eighty five dollars United States currency. The range of recent

31
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>analyst targets spans from sixty eight dollars on the low

32
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 1>end to ninety five dollars on the high end, and

33
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>major banks like City Group and McCrory have reiterated optimistic ratings.

34
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Institutional investor action is evident, including recent stakes purchased by

35
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>capital management firms, reflecting ongoing confidence in the long term

36
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 1>business despite short term volatility. In summary, PayPal remains in

37
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the spotlight both as a turnaround and a value play.

38
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 1>The company's steady earnings growth, renewed focus on efficiency by management,

39
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>and robust cast generation capacity have attracted attention, but the

40
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>stock continues to be priced for minimal growth ahead. The

41
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>future trajectory of PayPal shares will depend heavily on its

42
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>execution against earnings and revenue targets, and whether it can

43
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>transform modest growth into a remote upward trend. In valuation
