Should you buy PayPal stock? (August 2024)

Published first at https://www.3minutebreakdowns.com PayPal stock analysis. Ticker: $PYPL PayPal reported earnings last week and the stock jumped 8%. However, the market sell-off on Friday saw shares slide under 62 dollars so is now a good time to buy the dip? Right now, Paypal is trading at a valuation of 65 billion dollars. Account for cash debt and investments on the balance sheet and the enterprise value is 56.4 billion. Meanwhile, revenue over the last 12 months comes to 31 billion with 4.4 billion of net income and 6.7 billion of free cash flow. So PayPal stock is now valued at under 15 times earnings and just 8.4 times free cash flow. That sort of valuation is usually reserved for a company that isn’t growing but PayPal is. Revenue in the second quarter grew 8% and PayPal’s adjusted earnings per share, which now includes stock based compensation, is expected to grow 10% this year. In other words, PayPal stock at the current price looks too cheap. If earnings continue to grow at that pace, the payback times is under 9 years. #investing #stockanalysis #stockstobuy #3mb
