New purchase PayPal


Yesterday I shared my thoughts on PayPal $PYPL (-0.29%) and today, at the stock market launch in the USA, I got straight down to business and opened a first position.


I don't see PayPal as a growth monster, but rather as a value play:


  • Management change shows first fruits (catalyst for revaluation)
  • Free cash flow yield historically high
  • massive share buybacks (probably 7-8% of own shares will be bought back this year alone)
  • Solid and stable user base that can be further monetized


The moment after the short-term sell-off following the good quarterly figures seems favorable to me. We will see whether it goes down a bit further. There may still be an opportunity to buy more.

First everyone screamed SOS and now people are buying diligently 😅 I had so much stress with Paypal for ultimately 2k profit and now I'm leaving it alone. Better for my nerves 🤣

Value play in any case, but I don't know if the management sees it the same way. If you keep the customers, cut costs and expand the offering, it's definitely a good stock.

fully agree with your points - plus strong balance sheet/no net debt.

I've been a shareholder since last year and have predicted exactly these things :)
There's still something in the share
