Tien Tsin Huang’s rating is based on PayPal’s strategic initiatives and growth potential as outlined during their Investor Day. The company aims to grow in line with the e-commerce sector, which is a significant ambition given the competitive landscape. PayPal’s management is committed to accelerating branded checkout growth and enhancing total payment volume (TPV) to align with e-commerce trends, which is crucial for the company’s evolution from a legacy payment platform to a next-generation commerce facilitator.
Furthermore, PayPal’s management has set a mid-term growth algorithm targeting high single-digit TPV growth and low-teens non-GAAP EPS growth by 2027. This includes accelerating branded TPV growth and improving profitability through enhanced payment service provider (PSP) solutions and value-added services. The focus on better monetizing its extensive consumer and merchant base, along with operating leverage, indicates a strategic approach to achieving sustainable growth, which supports the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Mizuho Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $96.00 price target.
