Number of Hedge Fund Holdings: 86

Payment platform PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)’s shares are down by 47% over the past year and by 29% year-to-date. Truist discussed the firm on February 10th as it reduced the share price target to $39 from $58 and kept a Sell rating on the shares. The financial firm outlined that slower volume growth and take rate compression were among the factors behind its bearishness. Truist’s coverage came after RBC Capital had also reduced PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)’s share price target. RBC cut the target to $59 from $91 and kept an Outperform rating on the stock. The firm pointed out that payment volume growth appeared to be sluggish and could affect 2026 financials. Cramer compared PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) with Apple:

“We were just talking about Apple. One of the things that I think really hurt PayPal was Apple Pay. I think it’s a superior product. The stock is down again today. I would not, it’s still too early, you have to change the shareholder base, because holy cow, Apple Pay just kind of obliterated them. And I think that I don’t know how to stop the bleeding. Enrique Lores, new CEO. But, they don’t have the horses, Carl. . .Apple Pay is just a superior product, they really have to develop some other things.”
