00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>PayPal shares are currently trading around sixty nine dollars and

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>eighty cents as of the close on October twenty fourth,

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, remaining largely steady over the past month,

4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>while the broader financial sector has seen a slight decline

5
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>in share prices. Recent trading volumes have hovered near eight

6
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.120
<v Speaker 1>million shares per day, which is consistent with the typical

7
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>average for PayPal's volume, indicating neither unusually high nor low

8
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>activity leading into this period. The company is set to

9
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>report third quarter earnings on Tuesday, October twenty eighth, before

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the market opens. Analyst consensus forecasts revenue to land near

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>eight billion, two hundred million United States dollars for the quarter,

12
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>representing roughly five percent year on year growth. Expected adjusted

13
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>earnings per share is one dollar and twenty cents. Their

14
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>is keen interest as the options market currently sees a

15
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>possible price move of nearly nine percent in either direction

16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 1>following the report, showing heightened anticipation for the results across

17
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:05.359
<v Speaker 1>major analyst updates. Wells Fargo recently initiated coverage with an

18
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>equal weight rating and a price target of seventy four

19
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>United States dollars. The overall consensus from Wall Street analysts

20
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>is to hold PayPal stock, with an average price target

21
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>spanning eighty to eighty one United States dollars, suggesting some

22
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>upside potential from current levels. TIP Rank's artificial intelligence analyst

23
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>also remains bullish, highlighting PayPal's ongoing strategic push in its

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 1>digital payment business, including growth in offering such as Venmo

25
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and buy now Pay Later solutions. Among recent news headlines,

26
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>Jim Kramer commented that PayPal needs to start delivering stronger

27
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>numbers to regain investor confidence. While PayPal achieved stronger than

28
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>expected revenue last quarter, it has missed revenue expectations two

29
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>times in the past two years. Investors are watching closely

30
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to see whether operational improvements and new business initiatives will

31
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 1>help PayPal reverse its longer term trends, as the stock

32
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 1>price has fallen over fourteen percent in the last twelve

33
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 1>months and is down eighteen percent year to date. Looking ahead,

34
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>analysts and forecasting platforms predict modest gains for the stock

35
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>through the end of the year, potentially rising above seventy

36
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>three United States dollars in November and seventy four United

37
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>States dollars in December. Future forecasts for the next several

38
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>years suggest more robust appreciation, with some estimates showing possible

39
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>double digit percentage increases by twenty twenty seven. His PayPal

40
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>sustains innovation and delivers on growth
