PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) price was beaten down after a series of events and yesterday the CEO has delivered a weak guidance despite announcing the partnership with Amazon. They are well established, and they have a solid track record with big growth potential. With the current price, it offer investor a better opportunity to enter into the stock and potentially to buy at a lower price.
I had averaged in PayPal and will do more soon.
My analysis for PayPal
1. The company had **377 million active accounts at the end of 2020, including 29 million merchant accounts**. The company also owns Xoom, an international money transfer business, and Venmo, a person-to-person payment platform.
2. Positive Earning Trend and debts are well covered.
Their profit margin have been growing from 5.2% in year 2014 to 20.4% in year 2021. They have grown significantly by an average of 25% per year over the past 5 years. Last profit margin is 20.1% as at 30 September 2021 with a net income of USD4,997 Millions High ROE - 23.3% (ROE indicates how well a company's management deploys shareholder capital). Liabilities - debt to equity ratio of 36% (Total debt 7,949 Million / Total Equity 22,090 Million) as at Sep 30, 2021. *As interest rate is low, it is an excellent strategy to take on more debts to have more rooms for business expansion. Note that the debts to equity ratio had reduced from 42.8% to 36% in a quarter.* Debt Coverage - PayPal is well covered by operating cash flow (74.5%) Interest Coverage - PayPal's interest payments on debts are well covered by EBIT (35.7x coverage) Cash & Short term investments improves from USD$12.4 billion to USD$13.292
3. Partnership with Amazon
PayPal said it had inked a deal with Amazon to allow the firm’s Venmo wallets in the U.S. to be accepted on Amazon’s website and mobile app starting next year. Amazon being the largest e-commerce in the world, has **300 million active users** as of (1 November 2021) and **162 million active users** are from US. Due to Amazon’s global scope and reach, it is also considered one of the most valuable brand worldwide. This also means that PayPal got to access to Amazon users and the payments can be done through PayPal's Venmo wallets. This is going to be the biggest revenue source going forward.
4. Plenty of room to grow in the ecommerce space
There is still plenty of runway for growth in electronic payments. Electronic payments only surpassed cash payments on a global basis a couple of years especially during the pandemic period where the baby boomer started to explore the online and as well as developing countries who started to use online and more of the payment services. Over the years, PayPal had built a good reputation on the payment services for being highly secured and as well as bringing conveniences.
5. Unique business Model - ability to combat fraud
I believe this area is critical, no one wishes their credit/debit card information to be leaked or to be hacked and misused. **Using PayPal is extremely secured.** PayPal have this unique business model centers around a two-sided platform, with PayPal enjoying relationships with both merchants and consumers. This approach has material benefits and was instrumental in allowing PayPal to develop its current foothold in the industry. Having information on both sides of the transaction gives PayPal a meaningful edge in combating fraud, which was a very meaningful factor in the early days of the Internet, and remains a key issue. With an ability to combat fraud, PayPal was in a position to become a valued partner on both sides of a payment. (Source: Morningstar) With this feature, I will always opt to have my items checkout using PayPal if there is an option for it because I know it will be highly secured.
6. Who owns PayPal, who are the shareholders?
PayPal are mostly institutional/ fund houses which make up of 82%. This means that many mutual funds or pension funds have invested PayPal for their long term value. **Conclusion** I believe with such a mega cap company, well established company and with lots of potential to grow. No doubt, they might face some competition from square, Apple pay and Alipay but PayPal has already a huge and stable customer based (377 million active users) and they will have the potential to grow even more as popularity on online payments grew. At the current price, it is not expensive.

LIBERALVISAOP : Buying PAYPAL tonight anyone?
New Moo : Pretty lady. Set your loss limit to $100 . Nowadays market very unpredictable. Good luck
LIBERALVISAOP New Moo: Dislike.
Devilton : If you are hoping to buy some more shares to even out on the buying price and going to hold for few months, it should be fine. PYPL has fallen quite a lot over the past few months and is considered to be undervalued now. Just don't buy with margin and be patient with it. I think after this current market correction, it should be heading up. I'm also holding some PYPL and lost 15% so far but not buying more yet becos my money is with LCID right now, waiting for its report on Monday.
