What are Wall Street analysts saying about PayPal stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about PayPal stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "PayPal’s top-line is likely to get hurt as a result of eBay’s partnership discontinuation and selection of Adyen as its new primary payment processor. Notably, eBay accounts for 13% of PayPal’s total payment volume (TPV), thereby contributing a major portion to its total revenues. Moreover, continuous exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate risks remain a concern. Further, rising competition in the global payment industry might affect the market position of the company. However, ongoing strategic partnerships of PayPal with Visa and MasterCard offer great flexibility to the customers and this remain positive. Notably, shares of the company have outperformed the industry it belongs to over a year." (4/20/2018)

BTIG Research analysts commented, "from PYPL; Reduced Credit Risk Could Boost Multiple PayPal Holdings (PYPL) for more than a year has been working toward the implementation of an “asset-light” strategy with regard to its exposure to consumer credit in which it would continue to make credit available to consumers while taking the associated receivables off of its balance sheet, thus freeing up capital and improving the company’s credit risk and funding profile."
