10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>Recent market catalysts have been decidedly mixed. Market Beat reports

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that PayPal shares rose partly due to political relief after

12
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>President Trump appeared to shelve new tariff threats. The company

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>has also launched consumer facing initiatives, including free do it

14
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 1>yourself tax filing for PayPal Debit MasterCard customers and a

15
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>five per cent cash back gift card partnership. However, these

16
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>gains are tempered by insider selling activity and estate reduction

17
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 1>by investment firm Wedgewood Partners, which could weigh on investor

18
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>sentiment going forward. The analyst community remains cautious on the

19
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.359

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>eighty four cents, suggesting limited upside from current levels. However,

22
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>there is meaningful divergence among analysts. Argus increased their price

23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.439

24

26
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>five dollars, maintaining an equal weight rating. On balance, twelve
