Renaissance Large Cap Growth Strategy made the following comment about PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:
“Another underperformer in the quarter was PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL). Despite reporting solid third quarter operating results and announcing new payment agreements with both Apple and Amazon.com, the company guided for a slowdown in e-commerce activity, partly reflecting weakened consumers who are dealing with heightened inflation. However, we still expect growth in PayPal’s core payments platforms to improve in upcoming quarters, driven by easier year-over-year comparisons.”
