PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) is trading lower as investors weigh an attractive valuation and potential strategic interest against continued weakness in its branded checkout business. Recent results provide some support: PayPal exceeded quarterly EPS and revenue expectations, while the stock trades at roughly 10 times earnings. However, the central concern remains whether the company can restore growth and regain market share.
