00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Pay Paul Holdings has traded recently at a price near

2
00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.719
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine United States dollars per share, with a market

3
00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:10.439
<v Speaker 1>capitalization above sixty six billion United States dollars. Today's trading

4
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>session shows volume notably close to the average, has more

5
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>than twelve million shares changed hands. In this year's range,

6
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the stock has moved between a low of fifty five

7
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>United States dollars and a high of over ninety three

8
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>United States dollars, reflecting a wide span of investor sentiment

9
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>through the past twelve months. Analysts have published fresh updates

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>this week. Morning Star Investment Management and morth Rock Partners

11
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>have both increased positions, indicating some institutional confidence. However, analyst's

12
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>sentiment is largely split. The consensus target is about eighty

13
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.439
<v Speaker 1>three United States dollars per share, with roughly half of

14
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>the covering analysts recommending to hold, sixteen suggesting to buy,

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>and three advising to sell. Most noteworthy is a downgrade

16
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.399
<v Speaker 1>from the Goldman Sax Group to strong sell, with their

17
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 1>price objectives slipped to seventy United States dollars, while Barclay's

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>remains overweight and Canichord Genetity maintains a buy rating with

19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a ninety six dollars target. Recent earnings released at the

20
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>end of July showed PayPal beating expectations, reporting one dollar

21
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.719
<v Speaker 1>and forty cents earnings per share compared to the consensus

22
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>estimate of one dollar and thirty cents. Revenues landed at

23
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 1>eight point two nine billion United States dollars. A head

24
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>of forecasts, PayPal has guided toward third quarter earnings per

25
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.799
<v Speaker 1>share between one dollar and eighteen cents and one dollar

26
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and twenty two cents, and fiscal full year guidance bracketed

27
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>between five dollars and fifteen cents and five dollars and

28
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty cents per head share. The company posted healthy margins

29
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>just under fifteen percent and an impressive return on equity

30
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>of twenty five percent during the last quarter. Insiders have

31
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>sold a combined total of over fifteen thousand shares in

32
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the last ninety days, representing a very small fraction of

33
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>total ownership but worth over one million United States dollars.

34
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Recent technical signals downgraded the stock's buy outlook to neutral,

35
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>as upward momentum begins to flatten and volume divergence may

36
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 1>signal upcoming changes in sector news. PayPal recently faced some

37
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 1>head winds in Europe after German banks blocked payments, causing

38
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>some shares to slide. The longer term forecasts anticipate the

39
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 1>possibility of a rebound over the coming quarters. Looking ahead,

40
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>most consensus estimates suggest PayPal shares could trade between seventy

41
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>and eighty five United States dollars in the near term,

42
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>with select forecasts envisioning further gains next year if the

43
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>company sustains earning's growth and adapts to evolving regulatory and

44
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>competitive pressures around digital payments.
