Its major competitors are other payment technology companies, such as<b>Visa</b>(V),<b>Mastercard</b>(MA) or<b>Adyen</b>(OTCPK:ADYEY). It currently has a market capitalization of about $309 billion, a smaller value than MasterCard or Visa.</p>\n<p>PayPal’s core business is the offering of payment solutions to merchants and consumers, operating globally. At the end of 2020, it had about 377 million active accounts, of which some 348 million consumer accounts and 29 million merchant accounts, more than double the number of active accounts at the end of 2015.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/45f478cd622b0c634fd146fdf46bf0ef\" tg-width=\"747\" tg-height=\"432\"><span>Source: PayPal.</span></p>\n<p>The company’s revenue stream comes mainly from charging fees for some completed payment transactions, while generally it does not charge consumers to fund or withdraw money from their PayPal account. It also generates revenues from currency conversion and instant transfers from the PayPal or Venmo accounts to debit cards or bank accounts. For its merchant clients, it also offers access to certain credit products for small and medium-sized merchants, increasing its engagement its clients and providing finance for clients that possibly would not get loans from traditional banks or other lending providers.</p>\n<p><b>Secular Growth</b></p>\n<p>As I’ve analyzed in a previous article on “Visa: Despite Earnings Dip, Secular Growth Prospects Remain Strong,” the global payments industry has a very good growth track record and future growth prospects are quite strong.</p>\n<p>During the past few years, consumers and businesses have increasingly adopted new payment methods beyond cash and the rise of e-commerce has also been an important growth driver of digital payments across the globe. Revenues for the industry have grown roughly at 7% per year over recent years, to a total of just under $2 trillion in 2019, according to McKinsey data, and this growth is only expected to accelerate in the future as digital payments continue to increase their market share as a percentage of total banking revenues.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27b37a2ed30f39bff844ae07aa49ac5\" tg-width=\"372\" tg-height=\"395\"><span>Source: McKinsey.</span></p>\n<p>This background has been very supportive for PayPal’s growth prospects, as one of the leading companies in this industry. Indeed, PayPal’s revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate [CAGR] of 20.8% during the past five years, a much higher growth rate than the global payments industry and also above its largest competitors like Visa and MasterCard.</p>\n<p>Moreover, while recently the growth path of digital payments has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, that has affected negatively the growth of the global payments industry, PayPal has remained on a strong growth path because its business is clearly more exposed to digital transactions rather than physical payments.

Indeed, PayPal’s revenues increased by 20.8% YoY to $21.5 billion, a level that is very close to Visa’s annual revenues showing that PayPal has achieved a very large size despite being a much younger company. Beyond higher revenues, its business margins and free cash flow generation also improved, a very good performance compared to its peers that rely more on debit and credit card payments.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6b1369e32917090ea7cdb92b9a2fe8a\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>Source: PayPal.</span></p>\n<p>This positive financial performance was justified by the shift to online shopping and transactions due to Covid-19, but also due to PayPal’s new offerings such as the option to buy and hold digital currencies during the last quarter of the year. Its net income amounted to $4.2 billion, an increase of 70% YoY, boosted by organic growth and gains on some investments and its free cash flow was about $5 billion, or 23% of revenue, which shows that PayPal has a very good cash flow generation capacity.</p>\n<p>During thefirst quarter of 2021, PayPal has maintained an impressive operating momentum with volumes up by 50% YoY and revenue up by 31% YoY.

Its major competitors are other payment technology companies, such asVisa(V),Mastercard(MA) orAdyen(OTCPK:ADYEY). It currently has a market capitalization of about $309 billion, a smaller value than MasterCard or Visa.\nPayPal’s core business is the offering of payment solutions to merchants and consumers, operating globally. At the end of 2020, it had about 377 million active accounts, of which some 348 million consumer accounts and 29 million merchant accounts, more than double the number of active accounts at the end of 2015.\nSource: PayPal.\nThe company’s revenue stream comes mainly from charging fees for some completed payment transactions, while generally it does not charge consumers to fund or withdraw money from their PayPal account. It also generates revenues from currency conversion and instant transfers from the PayPal or Venmo accounts to debit cards or bank accounts. For its merchant clients, it also offers access to certain credit products for small and medium-sized merchants, increasing its engagement its clients and providing finance for clients that possibly would not get loans from traditional banks or other lending providers.\nSecular Growth\nAs I’ve analyzed in a previous article on “Visa: Despite Earnings Dip, Secular Growth Prospects Remain Strong,” the global payments industry has a very good growth track record and future growth prospects are quite strong.\nDuring the past few years, consumers and businesses have increasingly adopted new payment methods beyond cash and the rise of e-commerce has also been an important growth driver of digital payments across the globe. Revenues for the industry have grown roughly at 7% per year over recent years, to a total of just under $2 trillion in 2019, according to McKinsey data, and this growth is only expected to accelerate in the future as digital payments continue to increase their market share as a percentage of total banking revenues.\nSource: McKinsey.\nThis background has been very supportive for PayPal’s growth prospects, as one of the leading companies in this industry. Indeed, PayPal’s revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate [CAGR] of 20.8% during the past five years, a much higher growth rate than the global payments industry and also above its largest competitors like Visa and MasterCard.\nMoreover, while recently the growth path of digital payments has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, that has affected negatively the growth of the global payments industry, PayPal has remained on a strong growth path because its business is clearly more exposed to digital transactions rather than physical payments. This means that the pandemic has barely impacted its business, while it has been a significant setback for other companies, such as American Express (AXP) or MasterCard that are more exposed to cross-border transactions.\nNevertheless, the Covid-19 seems to be positive for the long-term growth of the industry because digital payments became more adopted last year and people will likely use less cash for payment transactions in the future, accelerating even further the growth of digital payments across the world.\nOver the next few years, growth is expected to resume quite rapidly and should even be higher than in the recent past. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global digital payments industry is expected to have a revenue CAGR of 13.7% during 2021-26, which is almost double the growth in recent years. This clearly shows that digital payments is a secular growth industry, being a very good backdrop for the companies operating in this industry for years to come.\nTaking this environment into account, PayPal is clearly in a very good position to maintain a solid growth path for many years to come, being potentially one of the major winners of the global shift to digital payments and e-commerce.\nTaking this background into account, it is not surprising that PayPal has strong growth ambitions for the coming years, aiming to generate more than $50 billion in revenue by 2025 (more than double the 2020 revenues) both from growth of its existing business, higher customer engagement and new offerings that will increase PayPal’s total addressable market.\nPayPal expects to double the number of active accounts over the next five years and triple the volumes transacted, which seems to be achievable considering its growth history and the strong growth prospects of the global payments industry.\nSource: PayPal.\nThis means that $50 billion in revenue by 2025 represents CAGR of about 20% during 2020-25, showing that PayPal has very good growth prospects in coming years.

Adevinta have secured final regulatory approval for a tie-up of their global classified ads businesses, the Norwegian firm said on Friday.</p>\n<p>Under a deal struck last year, Adevinta will acquire eBay's Classifieds Group in return for $2.5 billion in cash and 540 million shares, valuing the transaction at around $13 billion at current stock market prices.</p>\n<p>The final regulatory approval came from the Austrian competition watchdog after eBay agreed to reduce its ownership stake in Adevinta during the next 18 months, the Norwegian firm said.</p>\n<p>The compromise removes the sole outstanding obstacle to the deal following a go-ahead from Britain's Competition and Markets Authority earlier this month.</p>\n<p>\"Adevinta is pleased to announce that closing of the transaction will be initiated shortly and is expected to complete on or about 25 June,\" the Oslo-listed company said in a statement.</p>\n<p>The transaction makes eBay Adevinta's largest shareholder with an overall 44% stake and 33.3% of the vote, and gives the U.S. firm two seats on the company's board. Norway's Schibsted will hold around 39.5% of the votes.</p>\n<p>But as part of the deal with Austria's Federal Competition Authority (FCA), eBay must reduce its financial interest in Adevinta to no more than 33% within 18 months of the transaction's closing, Adevinta said.</p>\n<p>\"The remedies proposed by Adevinta and eBay address the FCA's concern that the transaction could potentially lessen competition in the Austrian market,\" the company said.</p>\n<p>Adevinta's shares were up 2.0% to 165.7 Norwegian crowns at 0917 GMT.</p>\n<p>As part of the overall deal, Schibsted will buy eBay Classifieds Group's Danish assets from Adevinta for $330 million. </p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Norway's Schibsted will hold around 39.5% of the votes.\nBut as part of the deal with Austria's Federal Competition Authority (FCA), eBay must reduce its financial interest in Adevinta to no more than 33% within 18 months of the transaction's closing, Adevinta said.\n\"The remedies proposed by Adevinta and eBay address the FCA's concern that the transaction could potentially lessen competition in the Austrian market,\" the company said.\nAdevinta's shares were up 2.0% to 165.7 Norwegian crowns at 0917 GMT.\nAs part of the overall deal, Schibsted will buy eBay Classifieds Group's Danish assets from Adevinta for $330 million.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":239,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185593100,"gmtCreate":1623658391700,"gmtModify":1634030550714,"author":{"id":"3573958234138743","authorId":"3573958234138743","name":"ZachTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2998c8f4651bb90e2184835275b64fff","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573958234138743","authorIdStr":"3573958234138743"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"To the moon","listText":"To the moon","text":"To the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/185593100","repostId":"1127089538","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127089538","pubTimestamp":1623654086,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1127089538?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-14 15:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop: Don't Let Strong Performance Distract From Reality","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127089538","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nGameStop has been on a wild ride over the past several months as speculators have sent shar","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>GameStop has been on a wild ride over the past several months as speculators have sent shares all over the place.</li>\n <li>Recent strong financial performance will likely exacerbate the situation for the time being.</li>\n <li>Investors should not allow this to distract them from the reality of how overpriced shares appear.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f38afe46a511c6467925dd0c230e9bd\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"1024\"><span>tupungato/iStock Editorial via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>Undoubtedly one of the most volatile stocks on the market this past year has been <b>GameStop</b> (GME). As the quintessential meme stock on the market, the video game retailer has taken investors and speculators alike on a wild ride.

Continued pain on the software side is unlikely to ease up and a move away from physical discs will hasten the company's demise absent a major change taking place operationally.</p>\n<p><b>A robust improvement on the top line</b></p>\n<p>In the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, GameStop generated some exciting financial performance. Consider, for instance, its top line results. Revenue for the first quarter came out at $1.28 billion. This represents a sizable increase over the $1.02 billion the company generated in the first quarter of its 2020 fiscal year. It is always great to see improved performance, but it is important to put all of this in context. For starters, around the end of the first quarter last year, the company was experiencing store closures that impaired its ability to generate revenue. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is winding down, this is no longer an issue and we should see some sort of rebound because of it. That said, there are other factors to take into consideration here.</p>\n<p>The first relates to hardware sales the company generated. For the first quarter, revenue for hardware came out to $703.5 million. That represents an increase of 37.1% over the $513.1 million the company generated the same quarter a year earlier. Though this is positive, investors would be unwise to assume that this kind of performance is indicative of strong health for the business. Management chalked most of this increase up to new video game consoles like the PlayStation 5 by <b>Sony</b>(NYSE:SONY) and the Xbox Series X/S consoles by <b>Microsoft</b>(MSFT). Continued strength from the previously released Nintendo Switch also aided the company during the quarter.</p>\n<p>It is imperative to discuss this because game consoles, particularly under the PlayStation and Xbox brand names, are not released every year. These devices take years to develop and when they are released you see a flurry of buying activity that would not be replicated in years where there is not a release. Already, the PlayStation 5 has proven a remarkable success,generating total retail sales of $3.8 billion because of 8.6 million units flying off the shelves.</p>\n<p>The Xbox brand has been less successful, with total sales of just $2.04 billion caused by 5.1 million units. This is not to say that revenue for a company like GameStop won't continue on for some time. Since its inception, Sony has sold nearly 115 million of its PlayStation 4 devices. Meanwhile, the Xbox One has moved nearly 50 million units, while the newer Switch already sold 85 million. In addition, the PlayStation 4 actually saw more units sold in years three and four of its existence than it did in the first two years. So this does suggest that revenue on the hardware side could persist for some time. But it would not be wise to consider it a permanent feature to the company's value.</p>\n<p>Other areas where the company was strong involved the sale of collectibles. Revenue here came out to $175.4 million, up from $90.9 million seen the same time a year earlier. However, revenue on the software side truly suffered. It declined from $417 million in the first quarter of the company's 2020 fiscal year to $397.9 million in the first quarter this year. In the long run, I personally view the software side of the sales the true measure of the health of GameStop. This is especially true as more content purchased by video game enthusiasts becomes downloadable.</p>\n<p>Software sales include disc-based games, as well as e-commerce and other operations that GameStop engages in. While hardware sales will flow and ebb based on console releases, software sales determine the direction the company is heading long-term. And data there is truly discouraging. Not only did we see the year-over-year decrease in the latest quarter, we have seen software sales dropping for years. In 2020 the company generated just $1.98 billion in revenue from software. This compares to $3.01 billion seen in 2019. And it was in spite of the fact that e-commerce revenue for the business surged 190.8% for the year compared to what it was in 2019. As a note, back in 2017 the firm generated software sales of $4.36 billion.</p>\n<p>Part of this decline has been due to a reduction in store count for the firm. In 2019 the retailer ended the year with 5,509 stores. Today, that figure is already down to 4,698. And management is already saying they will reduce store count further. A bigger part of the issue, though, is a transition away from disc-based games and toward disc-less ones. In 2020, for instance, 40.6% of Nintendo's game sales were disc-less. This was up from just 28.6% a year earlier. Sony's Full Game Software sales went from being 43% digital in 2018 to 79% in the fourth quarter of its latest fiscal year. To make matters worse, both Sony and Microsoft have come out with disc-less options for their consoles that will only hasten the transition away from retailers like GameStop.</p>\n<p><b>Troubles remain on the bottom line</b></p>\n<p>As revenue increased, the firm's bottom line results improved. The firm went from generating a net loss of $165.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 to generating a net loss of $66.8 million in the first quarter this year. Operating cash outflows improved from $49.3 million to $18.8 million over the same period of time. Free cash flows went from a negative $55.9 million to a negative $33.5 million. And adjusted EBITDA improved from negative $75.5 million to negative $0.7 million.</p>\n<p>None of this should be surprising given the expansion in revenue the company generated. While the company did see its bottom line improve year-over-year, the continued deterioration in its software category will negatively affect margins in the long run. In 2018, the last year for which gross profit data was broken down across product lines, the sum of digital and new video game software sales generated a gross profit margin of 26.4%. This compared to a new video game hardware profit margin of just 8.5%.</p>\n<p>All of this said, one really great positive for shareholders is that the company remains debt-free on a net basis. Total cash and cash equivalents on hand, including restricted cash, is $770.8 million. Meanwhile, debt is just $48.1 million. This does reduce the risk profile of the enterprise markedly.</p>\n<p>This significant achievement was due, in part, to the company's ability to issue 3.5 million shares in April this year, netting the firm $551.7 million. The company is also seeking to issue another 5 million shares, which at current pricing, would bring in around $1.51 billion on a gross basis. This will go a long way to helping the enterprise boost its fundamental value, but it is hard to imagine even that justifying the $21.75 billion the company is currently worth on the market today. Seeing a firm with negative performance all across the bottom line with such a high valuation and with limited, if any, long term growth, screams overvalued.</p>\n<p><b>Takeaway</b></p>\n<p>Right now, GameStop remains one of the most fascinating case studies on the market. Rampant speculation has pushed shares up to levels that cannot be justified fundamentally. Ultimately, I suspect that shares will fall unless management issues significantly more shares in a way that boosts the amount of cash the company has on hand. The moves being made right now do help to cushion any fall the firm should eventually experience, but when that fall happens is anybody's guess.</p>\n<p>Though not a permanent benefit to the business today, the financial performance generated in the first quarter this year could exacerbate the volatility and keep shares irrationally high. But when you consider that the real barometer of the business's health, software sales, has such significant headwinds and continues to suffer, the ultimate destination for the business, if it maintains the current course, looks scary.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GameStop: Don't Let Strong Performance Distract From Reality</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGameStop: Don't Let Strong Performance Distract From Reality\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 15:01 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434452-gamestop-dont-let-strong-performance-distract-from-reality><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nGameStop has been on a wild ride over the past several months as speculators have sent shares all over the place.\nRecent strong financial performance will likely exacerbate the situation for ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434452-gamestop-dont-let-strong-performance-distract-from-reality\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"GME":"游戏驿站"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434452-gamestop-dont-let-strong-performance-distract-from-reality","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1127089538","content_text":"Summary\n\nGameStop has been on a wild ride over the past several months as speculators have sent shares all over the place.\nRecent strong financial performance will likely exacerbate the situation for the time being.\nInvestors should not allow this to distract them from the reality of how overpriced shares appear.\n\ntupungato/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nUndoubtedly one of the most volatile stocks on the market this past year has been GameStop (GME).

But when you consider that the real barometer of the business's health, software sales, has such significant headwinds and continues to suffer, the ultimate destination for the business, if it maintains the current course, looks scary.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":364749802,"gmtCreate":1614877994606,"gmtModify":1703482492270,"author":{"id":"3573958234138743","authorId":"3573958234138743","name":"ZachTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2998c8f4651bb90e2184835275b64fff","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573958234138743","authorIdStr":"3573958234138743"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and share","listText":"Like and share","text":"Like and share","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/364749802","repostId":"1108224624","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1108224624","pubTimestamp":1614871965,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1108224624?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-04 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq falls another 1% amid rate fears, turns negative for 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108224624","media":"cnbc","summary":"(March 4) U.S. stocks fell for a third straight session Thursday as investors continued to dump high","content":"<div>\n<p>(March 4) U.S. stocks fell for a third straight session Thursday as investors continued to dump high-flying tech shares amid fears about rising interest rates.The S&P 500 dipped 0.7%, while the Dow ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/03/stock-market-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.6% as Apple slid 1% and Tesla shed 4.3%. With Thursday’s losses, the tech-heavy benchmark turned negative on the year.The weakness came even after a better-than-expected reading on weekly jobless claims. First-time filings for unemployment insurance in the week ended Feb. 27 totaled 745,000, a touch below the Dow Jones estimate of 750,000,the Labor Department reported Thursday.“We’re back to good news (for the economy) is bad news (for the market) and as interest rates move higher on expectations of better economic growth it has been hurting the stock market,” Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Independent Advisor Alliance, said in a note.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is set to join The Wall Street Journal Jobs Summit to talk about the economy later Thursday.Treasury yields, which have been keeping investors on edge in recent weeks, traded flat on Thursday. The benchmark10-year Treasury yieldheld steady at 1.46%. Last week, the rate soared to a high of 1.6% in a sudden move that sparked a big sell-off in stocks.Stocks posted heavy losses Wednesday led by tech as rising bond yields raised concerns about higher inflation and market valuations. The Nasdaq Composite has fallen 3.7% this week, on track to post its third straight negative week — the longest weekly losing streak since September.Additional stimulus measures could also inject optimism into the market. The Senate is currently debating the $1.9 trillion relief packagepassed by the House on Saturday.President Joe Biden has backed a plan to cut the income caps for Americans to receive stimulus checks.“Our macro team sees the economy as spring-loaded given the vaccinations and additional stimulus,” Keith Lerner, Truist chief market strategist, wrote in a note to clients. “The ability and desire of the consumer to spend on services and experiences should lead to the best economic growth we have seen in over 35 years.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":365767044,"gmtCreate":1614781583388,"gmtModify":1703481041977,"author":{"id":"3573958234138743","authorId":"3573958234138743","name":"ZachTeo","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2998c8f4651bb90e2184835275b64fff","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573958234138743","authorIdStr":"3573958234138743"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh man...

Revenues for the industry have grown roughly at 7% per year over recent years, to a total of just under $2 trillion in 2019, according to McKinsey data, and this growth is only expected to accelerate in the future as digital payments continue to increase their market share as a percentage of total banking revenues.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d27b37a2ed30f39bff844ae07aa49ac5\" tg-width=\"372\" tg-height=\"395\"><span>Source: McKinsey.</span></p>\n<p>This background has been very supportive for PayPal’s growth prospects, as one of the leading companies in this industry. Indeed, PayPal’s revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate [CAGR] of 20.8% during the past five years, a much higher growth rate than the global payments industry and also above its largest competitors like Visa and MasterCard.</p>\n<p>Moreover, while recently the growth path of digital payments has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, that has affected negatively the growth of the global payments industry, PayPal has remained on a strong growth path because its business is clearly more exposed to digital transactions rather than physical payments. This means that the pandemic has barely impacted its business, while it has been a significant setback for other companies, such as <b>American Express</b> (AXP) or MasterCard that are more exposed to cross-border transactions.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Covid-19 seems to be positive for the long-term growth of the industry because digital payments became more adopted last year and people will likely use less cash for payment transactions in the future, accelerating even further the growth of digital payments across the world.</p>\n<p>Over the next few years, growth is expected to resume quite rapidly and should even be higher than in the recent past. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global digital payments industry is expected to have a revenue CAGR of 13.7% during 2021-26, which is almost double the growth in recent years. This clearly shows that digital payments is a secular growth industry, being a very good backdrop for the companies operating in this industry for years to come.</p>\n<p>Taking this environment into account, PayPal is clearly in a very good position to maintain a solid growth path for many years to come, being potentially one of the major winners of the global shift to digital payments and e-commerce.</p>\n<p>Taking this background into account, it is not surprising that PayPal has strong growth ambitions for the coming years, aiming to generate more than $50 billion in revenue by 2025 (more than double the 2020 revenues) both from growth of its existing business, higher customer engagement and new offerings that will increase PayPal’s total addressable market.</p>\n<p>PayPal expects to double the number of active accounts over the next five years and triple the volumes transacted, which seems to be achievable considering its growth history and the strong growth prospects of the global payments industry.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/828bae36490c031b69fcf87de3ef91a8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"341\"><span>Source: PayPal.</span></p>\n<p>This means that $50 billion in revenue by 2025 represents CAGR of about 20% during 2020-25, showing that PayPal has very good growth prospects in coming years. Moreover, as the company expects to improve a little bit its business margins during this period, its earnings are expected to increase at CAGR of 22% over the next five years and generate more than $40 billion in free cash flow.</p>\n<p><b>Financial Overview</b></p>\n<p>Regarding its financial performance, PayPal has a very good track record with revenues and earnings growing quite rapidly over the past few years. Indeed, from 201 to 2020, PayPal’s revenues increased at a CAGR of around 20% and its earnings increased at CAGR of 31%, a very impressive achievement and much better than established peers like Visa and MasterCard.</p>\n<p>More recently, the company’s growth was not interrupted by the coronavirus as the secular growth trends of e-commerce and cash displacement accelerated with the pandemic, being a very strong tailwind for the company’s growth.</p>\n<p>In 2020, PayPal recorded record financial figures regarding its revenues, volumes, net new active accounts and earnings. Indeed, PayPal’s revenues increased by 20.8% YoY to $21.5 billion, a level that is very close to Visa’s annual revenues showing that PayPal has achieved a very large size despite being a much younger company. Beyond higher revenues, its business margins and free cash flow generation also improved, a very good performance compared to its peers that rely more on debit and credit card payments.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a6b1369e32917090ea7cdb92b9a2fe8a\" tg-width=\"772\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>Source: PayPal.</span></p>\n<p>This positive financial performance was justified by the shift to online shopping and transactions due to Covid-19, but also due to PayPal’s new offerings such as the option to buy and hold digital currencies during the last quarter of the year. Its net income amounted to $4.2 billion, an increase of 70% YoY, boosted by organic growth and gains on some investments and its free cash flow was about $5 billion, or 23% of revenue, which shows that PayPal has a very good cash flow generation capacity.</p>\n<p>During thefirst quarter of 2021, PayPal has maintained an impressive operating momentum with volumes up by 50% YoY and revenue up by 31% YoY. Active accounts grew by 21% to 392 million, while it added 14.5 million net new accounts during the quarter. Its operating margin improved to 27.7% (non-GAAP) and non-GAAP EPS grew by 84% YoY and free cash flow amounted to $1.54 billion or 25% of its quarterly revenue.</p>\n<p>For the full year 2021, its guidance was revised upwards with Q1 earnings and PayPal now expects to grow revenues to about $25.7 billion, which represents annual growth of about 20% in constant currencies, EPS growth around 21% YoY and about $6 billion in free cash flow.</p>\n<p>This clearly shows that PayPal’s growth momentum is not showing any sign of slowdown over the coming quarters, boding quite well to reach its 2025 targets probably ahead of schedule if it continues to grow at this pace.</p>\n<p>However, this is not currently expected from the sell-side, given that according toanalysts’ estimates, revenue growth is expected to be around 20-21% during the next 2-3 years and then slow down a little bit to less than 20% in 2024 and 2025. This is in-line with PayPal’s own targets, which means that there is some potential upside to estimates if it continues to execute well on its growth initiatives during the next few years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9ee830ca42c6ed20907df39e8c28786b\" tg-width=\"902\" tg-height=\"250\"><span>Source: SeekingAlpha.</span></p>\n<p>Regarding its capital allocation, PayPal’s has used its cash flow generation capacity to finance several acquisitions and repurchase its own shares, while capex spending has been relatively limited as expected for a technology company that operates digitally. Going forward, this strategy is not expected to change much as PayPal should continue to invest in fintech innovation through PayPal Ventures, while share buybacks will be the main way to return capital to shareholders even though the company may decide to start distributing dividends in the coming years.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/530c58f1461ce1f7eefb7856a4ef2d05\" tg-width=\"563\" tg-height=\"318\"><span>Source: PayPal.</span></p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>PayPal has a very good business and its growth prospects are very strong, both from industry tailwinds and its own growth initiatives. I think this is one of the best ways to play the secular growth trend of digital payments, as PayPal’s business model is completely focused on digital channels while its closest competitors Visa or Mastercard still rely significantly in physical transactions.</p>\n<p>This profile justifies PayPal’s premium valuation, considering that it is currentlytrading at about 57x forward earnings, while Visa and Mastercard are trading at between 42-47x earnings. Regarding my personal portfolio, I’ve recently rebalanced my positions and PayPal is now my largest holding on the digital payments theme, as I see this company as a very compelling long-term play in this industry.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>PayPal: One Of The Best Plays On The Secular Growth Trend Of Digital Payments</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPayPal: One Of The Best Plays On The Secular Growth Trend Of Digital Payments\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-14 14:36 GMT+8 <a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434455-paypal-best-play-on-secular-growth-trend-of-digital-payments><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nPayPal is a leading fintech company that benefits immensely from the secular growth trend in the digital payments industry.\nIts growth history is impressive and momentum is not showing any ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434455-paypal-best-play-on-secular-growth-trend-of-digital-payments\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4434455-paypal-best-play-on-secular-growth-trend-of-digital-payments","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1141995531","content_text":"Summary\n\nPayPal is a leading fintech company that benefits immensely from the secular growth trend in the digital payments industry.\nIts growth history is impressive and momentum is not showing any sign of slowing down, making its 2025 targets quite achievable.\nThe premium valuation to Visa or Mastercard is justified and PayPal is now my largest holding in the digital payments theme.\n\nJasonDoiy/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nPayPal(PYPL) is a compelling long-term play on the secular growth trend of digital payments as the company’s growth path is likely to remain quite strong over the next few years.\nCompany Profile\nPayPal Holdings Inc. is a leading fintech company that enables digital and mobile payments through its technology platform.

Indeed, PayPal’s revenues have increased at a compounded annual growth rate [CAGR] of 20.8% during the past five years, a much higher growth rate than the global payments industry and also above its largest competitors like Visa and MasterCard.\nMoreover, while recently the growth path of digital payments has changed due to the coronavirus pandemic, that has affected negatively the growth of the global payments industry, PayPal has remained on a strong growth path because its business is clearly more exposed to digital transactions rather than physical payments. This means that the pandemic has barely impacted its business, while it has been a significant setback for other companies, such as American Express (AXP) or MasterCard that are more exposed to cross-border transactions.\nNevertheless, the Covid-19 seems to be positive for the long-term growth of the industry because digital payments became more adopted last year and people will likely use less cash for payment transactions in the future, accelerating even further the growth of digital payments across the world.\nOver the next few years, growth is expected to resume quite rapidly and should even be higher than in the recent past. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global digital payments industry is expected to have a revenue CAGR of 13.7% during 2021-26, which is almost double the growth in recent years. This clearly shows that digital payments is a secular growth industry, being a very good backdrop for the companies operating in this industry for years to come.\nTaking this environment into account, PayPal is clearly in a very good position to maintain a solid growth path for many years to come, being potentially one of the major winners of the global shift to digital payments and e-commerce.\nTaking this background into account, it is not surprising that PayPal has strong growth ambitions for the coming years, aiming to generate more than $50 billion in revenue by 2025 (more than double the 2020 revenues) both from growth of its existing business, higher customer engagement and new offerings that will increase PayPal’s total addressable market.\nPayPal expects to double the number of active accounts over the next five years and triple the volumes transacted, which seems to be achievable considering its growth history and the strong growth prospects of the global payments industry.\nSource: PayPal.\nThis means that $50 billion in revenue by 2025 represents CAGR of about 20% during 2020-25, showing that PayPal has very good growth prospects in coming years. Moreover, as the company expects to improve a little bit its business margins during this period, its earnings are expected to increase at CAGR of 22% over the next five years and generate more than $40 billion in free cash flow.\nFinancial Overview\nRegarding its financial performance, PayPal has a very good track record with revenues and earnings growing quite rapidly over the past few years. Indeed, from 201 to 2020, PayPal’s revenues increased at a CAGR of around 20% and its earnings increased at CAGR of 31%, a very impressive achievement and much better than established peers like Visa and MasterCard.\nMore recently, the company’s growth was not interrupted by the coronavirus as the secular growth trends of e-commerce and cash displacement accelerated with the pandemic, being a very strong tailwind for the company’s growth.\nIn 2020, PayPal recorded record financial figures regarding its revenues, volumes, net new active accounts and earnings. Indeed, PayPal’s revenues increased by 20.8% YoY to $21.5 billion, a level that is very close to Visa’s annual revenues showing that PayPal has achieved a very large size despite being a much younger company. Beyond higher revenues, its business margins and free cash flow generation also improved, a very good performance compared to its peers that rely more on debit and credit card payments.\nSource: PayPal.\nThis positive financial performance was justified by the shift to online shopping and transactions due to Covid-19, but also due to PayPal’s new offerings such as the option to buy and hold digital currencies during the last quarter of the year. Its net income amounted to $4.2 billion, an increase of 70% YoY, boosted by organic growth and gains on some investments and its free cash flow was about $5 billion, or 23% of revenue, which shows that PayPal has a very good cash flow generation capacity.\nDuring thefirst quarter of 2021, PayPal has maintained an impressive operating momentum with volumes up by 50% YoY and revenue up by 31% YoY. Active accounts grew by 21% to 392 million, while it added 14.5 million net new accounts during the quarter. Its operating margin improved to 27.7% (non-GAAP) and non-GAAP EPS grew by 84% YoY and free cash flow amounted to $1.54 billion or 25% of its quarterly revenue.\nFor the full year 2021, its guidance was revised upwards with Q1 earnings and PayPal now expects to grow revenues to about $25.7 billion, which represents annual growth of about 20% in constant currencies, EPS growth around 21% YoY and about $6 billion in free cash flow.\nThis clearly shows that PayPal’s growth momentum is not showing any sign of slowdown over the coming quarters, boding quite well to reach its 2025 targets probably ahead of schedule if it continues to grow at this pace.\nHowever, this is not currently expected from the sell-side, given that according toanalysts’ estimates, revenue growth is expected to be around 20-21% during the next 2-3 years and then slow down a little bit to less than 20% in 2024 and 2025. This is in-line with PayPal’s own targets, which means that there is some potential upside to estimates if it continues to execute well on its growth initiatives during the next few years.\nSource: SeekingAlpha.\nRegarding its capital allocation, PayPal’s has used its cash flow generation capacity to finance several acquisitions and repurchase its own shares, while capex spending has been relatively limited as expected for a technology company that operates digitally. Going forward, this strategy is not expected to change much as PayPal should continue to invest in fintech innovation through PayPal Ventures, while share buybacks will be the main way to return capital to shareholders even though the company may decide to start distributing dividends in the coming years.\nSource: PayPal.\nConclusion\nPayPal has a very good business and its growth prospects are very strong, both from industry tailwinds and its own growth initiatives. I think this is one of the best ways to play the secular growth trend of digital payments, as PayPal’s business model is completely focused on digital channels while its closest competitors Visa or Mastercard still rely significantly in physical transactions.\nThis profile justifies PayPal’s premium valuation, considering that it is currentlytrading at about 57x forward earnings, while Visa and Mastercard are trading at between 42-47x earnings. Regarding my personal portfolio, I’ve recently rebalanced my positions and PayPal is now my largest holding on the digital payments theme, as I see this company as a very compelling long-term play in this industry.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":181,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
