PayPal Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 3.37% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 20.97 million shares sold short, which is 2.01% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.32 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PayPal Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About PayPal Holdings?

A study conducted by Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Allium Labs unveiled that more than 90% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stablecoins">stablecoin transactions</a> are not genuine, raising questions on the digital tokens' belief.
What Happened: According to the dashboard created by Visa and Allium Labs, stablecoins are far from achieving universal acceptance as a payment method. The study&#8217;s metric, which filters out transactions initiated by bots and large-scale traders, showed that of the $2.2 trillion total transactions in April, only $149 billion were "organic payments activity", as <a href="https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/more-90-stablecoin-transactions-arent-real-users-study-finds">reported</a> by The Business Times.
These findings are contradictory to the claims of stablecoin advocates, including fintech heavyweights like PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) and Stripe, who are making substantial progress in the stablecoin arena.
Pranav Sood, executive general manager for the EMEA region at payments platform Airwallex, stated that stablecoins are at a very early stage as a payment instrument. "That's not to say that they don't have long-term potential, because I think they do. But the short-term and the mid-term focus needs to be on making sure that existing rails work much better," Sood said.

Why It Matters: Data provider Glassnode estimated that the record $3 trillion of total market circulation attributed to digital tokens at the peak of the 2021 bull market was actually around $875 billion.
Visa, which processed over $12 trillion worth of transactions last year, could potentially lose out if stablecoins become a universally accepted payment method. However, analysts at Bernstein predict that the total value of all stablecoins in circulation could reach $2.8 trillion by 2028.
This comes at a time when the U.S. is making strides towards stablecoin regulation. Although efforts to pass the U.S. stablecoin legislation were stalled, progress is expected soon. This development could have significant implications for the future of stablecoins and their potential as a mainstream payment method.

Only 10% Of Stablecoin Transaction Volumes In April Originated From 'Organic Payments Activity'

These four companies appear to be a good deal based on future earnings expectations and trading at a low <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/pe-ratio">price/earnings (P/E) ratio</a> compared to historic norms.&nbsp;
When a company is growing earnings&nbsp;and trading at a low valuation, then investors can benefit from a rising share price if the&nbsp;P/E moves back to more normal levels, or earnings continue to increase even if the P/E doesn&#39;t increase. The ideal scenario occurs when the company grows earnings and the P/E rises to more typical levels.&nbsp;
If these four companies deliver the earnings expected (or close to it) for 2025 and the P/E moves back to more typical levels for these stocks, then all of them offer 100% upside or more relative to the current price.
Looking out to 2025 means these investments could last approximately 1.5 to 2.5 years. If the prospects for the company still look good, trades could be held longer. If earnings expectations fall, then the trades may be held for a shorter time, or the price targets revised.
Here is a <a href="https://tradethatswing.com/great-value-stocks-to-buy-now-100-upside-updated-regularly/">list of great value stocks</a> available on the market right now, with the potential for more than 100% upside over the next couple of years.
WNS Holdings Limited (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wns#NYSE">WNS</a>) is trading at a P/E of 16.1 with a forward P/E of 9.9. A P/E of 25 is common for this company. Analysts project earnings of $4.57 for 2025. If the company can generate those earnings and return to a more common P/E of 25, that implies a share price near $114 (25 x $4.57). It currently trades at $45.23.
PayPay Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pypl#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) has a P/E of 16.9 and a forward P/E of 12. This company has often traded at a P/E north of 25. Analysts project EPS of $5.6 for 2025. If the stock can trade at a P/E of 25 at that time, the target price is $140. The stock closed on May 2 at $66.98.&nbsp;
Centene Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cnc#NYSE">CNC</a>) has a P/E of 14.7 and a forward P/E of 9.8. This stock often reaches a P/E of 20 or higher. Analysts project earnings of $7.57 for 2025. If the stock returns to a more normal P/E of 20 and attains those earnings, that implies a stock price near $150. The stock currently trades at $74.33.
Perficient, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prft#NASDAQ">PRFT</a>) has a P/E of 14.7 and a forward P/E of 9.8. A P/E value of 20 to 25 is common for this company. With earnings of $4.54 expected in 2025, that implies a share price of approximately $90 to $110. The stock is trading at $48.85 currently.
Outlooks can change. The price targets are based on expected earnings, which could change (higher or lower) and thus affect the target. There are no assurances the stock will trade at the more common and higher P/E values in the future, although each stock has regularly traded at a higher P/E than the current values.&nbsp; Make sure any trades taken align with your investment strategy and risk tolerance. This is not investment advice.
Disclaimer: The author has initiated long-term positions in the last month in PYPL, CNC, and PRFT,&nbsp;and will likely take a position in WNS over the next couple of weeks assuming the major market indices don&#39;t slide aggressively lower.

<div>Happy Returns, a UPS (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ups#NYSE">UPS</a>) company, has launched its buy-online, return-in-store (BORIS) solution for retailers to develop reverse logistics networks with physical brand locations to improve consumer experience.</div>

Happy Returns also announced Tuesday that e-commerce giant Shein and retailer Forever 21 will be the first cross-brand partnership to use the BORIS product.

According to the company, the system integrates with any return and point-of-sales solutions, enabling brands to use either Happy Returns' software or their own to execute returns facilitated by QR codes.

Those who use Happy Returns' software can also use its reverse logistics operating systems to manage the returned inventory from the moment the return is dropped at a return partner location all the way back to the e-commerce warehouse.  <script type="text/javascript">

The UPS company's newly released software gives customers real-time tracking and visibility of the returned product while also providing a dedicated BORIS team to manage, track and monitor fraudulent returns.

"Over the past eight years, we've developed cross-brand box-free returns from an innovative idea to an enterprise-grade solution. … Now we're leveraging our technology, expertise and scale in reverse logistics to be the first to enable retailers to seamlessly accept returns throughout their full networks" David Sobie, co-founder and CEO of Happy Returns, said in the news release.

<h2 id="h-first-brand-partnership">First brand partnership</h2>

As part of the BORIS announcement, Happy Returns, which was acquired by UPS from PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pypl#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) in October, also released its first cross-brand partnership to leverage BORIS.

"We are always looking for new ways to optimize the shopping experience for SHEIN customers — from speedier delivery to easy returns" said George Chiao, president of Shein U.S. "Happy Returns has pioneered a seamless, simple returns model and we are excited to launch this offering across hundreds of Forever 21 stores across the country."

According to reports, the partnership launched in early April, giving Shein shoppers the opportunity to use QR codes generated off the Shein website to be presented to Forever 21 associates. Associates verify the items are correct and send them back out to Shein in mass quantities.

While Forever 21 is not directly looking to sell Shein products, its CEO, Winnie Park, said in the news release it would offer same-day discounts to Shein returners on Forever 21 products, giving Forever 21 an opportunity to increase revenue with the partnership.

What Happened: This partnership streamlines the crypto buying process for millions of Americans, offering them the flexibility to utilize wallet transfers, bank transfers and debit card transactions directly within the MoonPay app, <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/05/02/moonpay-users-can-now-buy-crypto-via-paypal/?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=rss&amp;utm_campaign=headlines">according</a> to Coindesk.
The integration marks a strategic expansion for PayPal as well, which currently offers a limited selection of major cryptocurrencies.

PayPal Holdings Unusual Options Activity For May 02

Editor&#8217;s Note: The description of PayPal&#8217;s stock movement has been updated for accuracy and tone.
Shares of PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) were trading lower on Wednesday after the company reported<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/05/38549434/these-analysts-increase-their-forecasts-on-paypal-following-q1-results"> its first-quarter results</a>.
The results came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways from the release.
<ul>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng maintained a Buy rating, while raising the price target from $74 to $76.</li>
<li>Stifel analyst Charles Nabhan reaffirmed an Equal-Weight rating, while lifting the price target from $70 to $75.</li>
<li>Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev reiterated a Neutral rating, while raising the price target from $60 to $68.</li>
<li>JMP Securities analyst Andrew Boone maintained a Market Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $70 to $82.</li>
<li>JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang reaffirmed an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $70 to $77.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Goldman Sachs: PayPal delivered higher-than-expected results for Q1 due to "transaction margin growth and opex discipline," Ng said in a note.
The company's transaction margin dollars rose by 4% year-on-year to $3.5 billion, surpassing consensus with a better-than-expected TPV (total payment volume) growth of 14% year-on-year. This included "accelerating growth at branded (+7% yoy v. +5% in 4Q23) and strong -albeit slowing- growth at PSP (+26% yoy v. +29% in 4Q23),&#8221; Ng added.
Stifel: PayPal made a "solid start" to a transition year, delivering better-than-expected results and "effectively raised its FY EPS guidance," Nabhan said.
"With the company&#8217;s various initiatives still in early stages of monetization, we continue to view &#8217;24 as a transitionary year and believe it is premature to expect a near-term turn in sentiment," the analyst wrote. "That said, we view 1Q as a step in the right direction and expect a reduced drag from underperforming pieces of the portfolio (i.e. Xoom) to benefit results," he added.
Mizuho Securities: "After negative growth in 2023, it was nice to see transaction margin dollar growth turn positive at +4% in 1Q," Dolev wrote in a note.
That "transaction revenue less transaction expense" indicates more modest growth of 1% despite easy comps and "a ~200bps acceleration in high-margin Branded and ~300bps deceleration in lower-margin Braintree,&#8221; Dolev added.
JMP Securities: "We come away from the quarter with greater confidence that PayPal&#8217;s new management team is enacting real change with the business and with multiple catalysts ahead," Boone said in a note. The company also reiterated its cost discipline, which suggests that the earnings guidance could prove conservative "as new products improve PayPal's competitive position in the market," he added.
While payments remain "highly competitive" with the proliferation of accelerated checkout options, "PayPal's scale and existing customer base remain significant assets," the analyst further stated.
JPMorgan: PayPal made a "good start to the year," with transaction margin dollar growth being "largely driven by improving losses," Huang said.
"Importantly, however, underlying volume and engagement trends continue to be healthy, with Branded volume growth accelerating to +7% and revenues being a positive contributor to total company growth, while overall transactions per account were +7% y/y (ex-PSP)," the analyst wrote. "New product rollouts seem to be progressing on track," and Fastlane could hit the market by the back half of the year, he added.
PYPL Price Action: Shares of PayPal Holdings had declined by 2.6% to $66.14 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Financial disruption is pervading the banking sector as <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/financial/fintech/">fintech stocks</a> to buy take on traditional banks. Indeed, these companies are offering superior value and gradually grabbing market share. Even Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/jpm-stock-quote/">JPM</a>), opines that fintechs are a significant <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/07/jpmorgan-chase-ceo-jamie-dimon-why-fintech-is-a-big-threat-to-banks.html">threat to traditional banks.</a>



Fintech has been integrated into the modern financial system in many ways. Today, these platforms offer peer-to-peer transfers, checking and savings accounts, loans, bill payments, direct deposits, stock trading and other digital wallet services. The convenience and ease of use of these products have attracted millions of users.



Another factor behind the widespread adoption has been their value proposition. For instance, since most fintech companies have no physical branches, they inherently have a lower cost structure than banks. Thus, they typically offer higher yields than traditional banks.



The following fintech stocks to buy provide compelling opportunities to capitalize on the digital financial revolution. They offer value and are poised for significant growth.



<h2>PayPal (PYPL)</h2>



<a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/paypal-earnings.png"><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/paypal-earnings-300x169.png" alt="PayPal (PYPL) logo"></a>PayPal (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>) is one of the fintech stocks to buy that is substantially undervalued. After abnormal growth during the pandemic, sales growth has moderated. As a result, investor sentiment has soured on the stock, with little recovery since the 2022 bear market. However, this company is a growth stock at a reasonable price.



The key driver of PayPal&rsquo;s long-term growth is the expansion of the payments market. Statista forecasts <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/fmo/digital-payments/worldwide">digital payments growth</a> at a 9.52% compounded annual growth rate between 2024 and 2028. Therefore, PayPal, already one of the largest players, can grow revenues even with more competition.



Secondly, now that <a href="https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2023-08-14-PayPal-Names-Alex-Chriss-as-Next-President-and-CEO#:~:text=(NASDAQ%3A%20PYPL)%20today%20announced,the%20Board%20on%20that%20date.">new CEO Alex Chriss</a> has taken charge and appointed new leadership, the uncertainty cloud has cleared. To this end, the new team has pledged to maintain profitable growth.



So far, results have underscored that PayPal remains a growth business. For instance, the company reported 13% total payment volume growth and 24% EPS growth in 2023. Furthermore, Q1 2024 results showed that TPV increased 14% year-over-year (YoY).



As of this writing, PayPal is priced for no growth at 14 times forward earnings. The undervaluation is severe and presents upside. Over the long term, the growth in digital payments will drive revenue growth.



<h2>SoFi Technologies (SOFI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sofi1600-1-300x169.png" alt="SoFi Technologies, Inc logo with stock market chart background. is an American online personal finance company and online bank."><div>Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Over the past month, SoFi Technologies&rsquo; (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sofi-stock-quote/">SOFI</a>) stock price has significantly diverged from its fundamentals. Despite impressive <a href="https://investors.sofi.com/news/news-details/2024/SoFi-Technologies-Reports-Q1-2024-Net-Revenue-of-645-Million-and-Net-Income-of-88-Million-Marking-Second-Consecutive-Quarter-of-GAAP-Profitability/default.aspx">Q1 2024 results,</a> the stock has fallen toward 52-week lows, presenting a buy opportunity.



There are several reasons why it&rsquo;s one of the top fintech stocks to buy. Regarding growth, Q1 2024 adjusted net revenue was $580.6 million, up 26% YoY, the 12th consecutive quarter of over 25% growth. The fundamental momentum continued across its segments. Although lending revenues declined 2% YOY, technology platform and financial services showed impressive growth.



Financial services revenue was $150.6 million, growing 8.2% quarter-over-quarter and 86% YOY. Additionally, more customers subscribed to its technology platform in the quarter. As a result, revenue in the segment increased by 21% YOY.



Secondly, its diversification efforts away from lending are bearing fruit. In the quarter, financial services and technology platform segments made up 42% of adjusted net revenues. Besides, the company plans to finish the year with 50% of revenues from these segments.



Thirdly, the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/03/sofi-stock-sofi-is-selling-750-million-in-convertible-senior-notes/">recent financial actions</a> will save about $40 to $60 million in dividend payments and interest expenses. These actions have also reinforced the balance sheet for long-term growth. At the end of Q1, SoFi had 8.1 million members. Its broad product offering will attract more members going forward.



<h2>Shift4 Payments (FOUR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/digital-payment-300x169.jpg" alt="A concept image of mobile payment with a smart phone for a cup of coffee."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>After declining from $85 to below $60, Shift4 Payments (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/four-stock-quote/">FOUR</a>) has become an interesting buyout candidate. Recent transactions highlight the significant discount, making it one of the top fintech stocks to buy.



Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/news/the-fly/benchmark-says-nuvei-deal-makes-shift4-look-even-more-attractive">draws a parallel</a> to the recent acquisition of Nuvei (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvei-stock-quote/">NVEI</a>). Advent International, a private equity-focused firm, acquired Nuvei for 11.3 times the expected fiscal year 2024 EV/EBITDA. In contrast, FOUR stock trades at a 2024 EV/EBITDA of about 8.2. The discount is even more profound considering Shift4 will grow its top and bottom line faster, per analyst estimates.



Another analyst, Redburn Atlantic&rsquo;s Dominic Ball, also agrees that the probability of an acquisition has increased. The stock&rsquo;s recent underperformance compared to other peers has only made it more attractive.



Indeed, earlier this year CEO Jared Isaacman disclosed that the company had received multiple buyout offers. However, it <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/shift4-ceo-tells-staff-potential-bids-fail-sufficiently-value-firm-bloomberg-2024-03-17/">rejected all offers,</a> stating they severely undervalued the company. Shares have fallen further since, which means substantial gains potential if a deal were to happen.



Shift4 Payments has an enviable merchant base any acquirer would be interested in due to the distribution reach it offers. At 16 times forward earnings, this fintech stock is too cheap. Founder CEO Jared Isaacman could soon return to the market to sell the company.

Finding stocks ready for a comeback is crucial for investors looking for growth and value in today&rsquo;s dynamic market environment.



The first one stands out due to its substantial increase in transaction volume and growing market penetration. The company exhibits operational efficiency and a strong foothold in the transaction and payment processing services industry, with a rise in transaction margin dollars and a steady development in total payment volume (TPV).



Meanwhile, thanks to its worldwide development and strategic investments, the second one has become a contender in the streaming market and a symbol of resilience. By focusing on increasing the profitability of its streaming division, the company has generated positive EBITDA and a notable increase in subscriber-related revenue, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive in a competitive market.



Lastly, the third one stands out as a strong brand with a solid worldwide presence and creative bent. Despite obstacles, the business continues to dominate the coffee sector, exhibiting great store development skills and utilizing digital efforts to boost consumer interaction and sales.



Each of these companies presents unique strengths and opportunities.



<h2>Comeback Stocks: PayPal (PYPL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/pypl1600-300x169.png" alt="Closeup of the PayPal app icon seen on a Google Pixel smartphone. PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) is a global financial technology company operating an online payment system."><div>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</div></div>In Q1 2024, PayPal&rsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>) transaction margin dollars climbed by&nbsp;<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/231198771/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/Q1-24-PYPL-Earnings-Release.pdf" target="_blank">4% to $3.5 billion</a>. This rise in transaction margin dollars indicates PayPal&rsquo;s increased profitability and operational effectiveness. This implies that PayPal keeps or increases its transaction volumes while controlling costs. PayPal has 220 million monthly active accounts as of the end of Q1 out of 427 million total active accounts.&nbsp;



Certainly, the increase in active accounts is a sign of PayPal&rsquo;s capacity to attract and retain users. The rise in monthly active accounts also shows strong user engagement, which is important for boosting transaction volumes and revenue growth.



Additionally, in Q1,&nbsp;<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/231198771/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/Q1-24-PYPL-Earnings-Release.pdf" target="_blank">TPV increased by 14%</a>&nbsp;on a spot and currency-neutral basis, reaching $403.9 billion. The solid increase in TPV indicates PayPal&rsquo;s growing market share and booming use of its payment services. This trend reflects consumers&rsquo; and businesses&rsquo; usage of PayPal&rsquo;s transaction processing platform.&nbsp;



Lastly, the non-GAAP operating margin increased by<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/231198771/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/PYPL-Q1-24-Investor-Update.pdf" target="_blank">&nbsp;0.84% to 18.2%</a>, signaling that PayPal is making more money from its sales.&nbsp;



<h2>Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/wbd-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="A close-up of the blue and yellow Warner Bros (WBD) sign."><div>Source: Ingus Kruklitis / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wbd-stock-quote/">WBD</a>) direct-to-consumer (D2C) segment, which includes the HBO Max platform, is growing, providing a substantial growth opportunity for the company&rsquo;s streaming division. Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s D2C division recorded a positive EBITDA of<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/336605034/files/doc_earnings/2023/q4/earnings-result/WBD-4Q23-Earnings-Release.pdf" target="_blank">&nbsp;almost $100 million</a>, indicating a solid yearly gain.&nbsp;



Additionally, the boost in subscriber-related revenue coincided with increased distribution and advertising income in H2 2023. The main drivers of this development were more pricing, a rise in ad-lite subscribers, and more interaction on the HBO Max platform. 



Furthermore, Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s plan for global development is a&nbsp;major&nbsp;factor in the growth of the streaming industry, as in Q4, the company added&nbsp;<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/336605034/files/doc_earnings/2023/q4/earnings-result/WBD-4Q23-Earnings-Release.pdf" target="_blank">over 1 million new members</a>.&nbsp;This&nbsp;demonstrates the company&rsquo;s streaming content&rsquo;s attractiveness on a worldwide scale and its capacity to gain market share in various geographical areas.



Moreover, boosting subscriber growth and expanding market penetration depends heavily on Warner Bros. Discovery&rsquo;s initiatives to improve the streaming product experience and content offering through local relaunches and new market introductions. Finally, the company&rsquo;s objective of deriving&nbsp;<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/336605034/files/doc_earnings/2023/q4/presentation/WBD-4Q23-Earnings-Presentation.pdf" target="_blank">$1 billion in D2C</a>&nbsp;sector EBITDA by 2025 aligns with these strategies.



<h2>Starbucks (SBUX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/sbux1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="the Starbucks (SBUX) logo on a sign outside of a coffee shop"><div>Source: Grand Warszawski / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Starbucks (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sbux-stock-quote/">SBUX</a>) continues to have a strong lead in the global coffee business and&nbsp;substantial&nbsp;brand equity despite difficulties in Q2 2024. The business has been at the forefront of the sector for more than 50 years, earning a solid reputation.



Moreover, Starbucks may design and construct&nbsp;<a href="https://investor.starbucks.com/press-releases/financial-releases/press-release-details/2024/Starbucks-Reports-Q2-Fiscal-2024-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank">nearly 3,000 new locations in 2024</a>, demonstrating the company&rsquo;s&nbsp;strong retail&nbsp;development capabilities. The company&rsquo;s store openings still realize strong unit economics, including excellent returns on investment (ROI) and average unit volumes (AUVs). Additionally, significant store development in developing nations like Korea, Indonesia, and India is part of the global expansion activities, which add to the portfolio&rsquo;s diversity and size.



Furthermore, Starbucks uses digital advancement. It concentrates on improving consumer interaction via smartphone ordering and the Starbucks Rewards program. With <a href="https://investor.starbucks.com/press-releases/financial-releases/press-release-details/2024/Starbucks-Reports-Q2-Fiscal-2024-Results/default.aspx">32.8 million active members</a>, the Starbucks Rewards program has a sizable U.S. membership base, a 6% uplift in members year-over-year.



Finally, the number of mobile order and pay (MOP) transactions in the U.S. hit a record high.&nbsp;This accounts for <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4687827-starbucks-corporation-sbux-q2-2024-earnings-call-transcript">31% of all transactions</a> and indicates the efficacy of digital initiatives in boosting sales.

The Comeback Kings: 3 Stocks Ready to Reclaim Their Thrones

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Editor&rsquo;s Note: This article was previously published under the title, &ldquo;How to Profit From Elon Musk&rsquo;s $18 Billion AI Project&rdquo; but has been updated to include the most recent information.



The global AI Race has begun, and it&rsquo;s off to a red-hot start. Companies like Microsoft (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>), Amazon (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amzn-stock-quote/">AMZN</a>) and Apple (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/">AAPL</a>) &ndash; among countless others &ndash; are all pouring billions of dollars into this groundbreaking tech.&nbsp;



Why? Because they know that the winner of the AI Race will inevitably become the world&rsquo;s most powerful company.&nbsp;



But funnily enough, the ultimate winner may not be any of those Big Tech companies.&nbsp;



Rather, it may be a company that you&rsquo;ve likely never heard of before&hellip;&nbsp;



<a href="https://secure.investorplace.com/?cid=MKT797138&amp;eid=MKT800069&amp;step=start&amp;plcid=PLC206506">I&rsquo;m talking about xAI, Elon Musk&rsquo;s newest AI startup.</a>







<h2>A New AI Frontrunner?</h2>



About a year ago, Elon Musk set out to create his own AI startup, xAI. He felt that his competitors were all missing the ultimate goal of creating powerful and fair AI. Now, just over a year later, that startup is working to raise $3 billion at an $18 billion valuation.&nbsp;



That is huge growth for a company in just under a year.&nbsp;



But xAI&rsquo;s growth story could just be getting started.&nbsp;



After all, Apple didn&rsquo;t become Apple because of the iPhone. It became Apple because of Steve Jobs.



Microsoft didn&rsquo;t become Microsoft because of Windows. It became Microsoft because of Bill Gates.&nbsp;



World-changing people create world-changing businesses.&nbsp;



So&hellip; if you want to invest in world-changing businesses&hellip; start by investing in world-changing people.&nbsp;



<a href="https://secure.investorplace.com/?cid=MKT797138&amp;eid=MKT800069&amp;step=start&amp;plcid=PLC206506">We certainly believe that Elon Musk is a world-changer.</a>&nbsp;



He co-founded PayPal (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>), the world&rsquo;s largest digital payment platform, now worth more than $70 billion&hellip;&nbsp;



And SpaceX, the world&rsquo;s largest private space rocket firm, now worth $180 billion.&nbsp;



He pioneered the world&rsquo;s largest automaker in Tesla (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tsla-stock-quote/">TSLA</a>), which is now worth more than all of the next 10 biggest automakers combined&hellip;&nbsp;



And he&rsquo;s also the man behind Neuralink, The Boring Company, and X.



Musk has influenced how we pay for things, what cars we drive, how we communicate online, how we see space&hellip;&nbsp;



I&rsquo;d venture to say that he is one of the most influential business figures of the past 20 years.&nbsp;



A great example of world-changing.







<h2>The Final Word</h2>



And now this world-changing person has turned his focus to a new business venture at the heart of possibly the most transformative technology the world has ever seen: AI.&nbsp;



Would you bet against him here?&nbsp;



I don&rsquo;t think I would.&nbsp;



xAI has already launched an impressive AI chatbot named Grok, which many experts claim stacks up pound-for-pound against ChatGPT. And as we mentioned above, the firm is already in talks to raise $3 billion at an $18 billion valuation.&nbsp;



This latest startup is moving fast. With impressive progress. And the journey is likely just getting started.&nbsp;



Because xAI could be Musk&rsquo;s biggest venture yet.&nbsp;



<a href="https://secure.investorplace.com/?cid=MKT797138&amp;eid=MKT800069&amp;step=start&amp;plcid=PLC206506">And right now, you have an opportunity to invest in it.</a>&nbsp;



Now, not directly, of course &ndash; xAI is barely a year old. It is still a private startup.&nbsp;



But we have found a potentially huge &ldquo;backdoor&rdquo; investment opportunity into xAI. It&rsquo;s a stock that you&rsquo;ve likely have never heard of before, but we think it could be xAI&rsquo;s leading tech component supplier.&nbsp;



If xAI becomes a champion of the multi-trillion-dollar AI race, then this stock could absolutely soar.&nbsp;

PayPal: Just Warming Up

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Money is a core pillar of the economy, and many firms have positioned themselves to profit from the strong demand for capital. Consumers spend, save and invest money. And frequently, people need to borrow money to purchase goods and services.&nbsp;



<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/financial/fintech/">Fintech stocks</a> allow investors to accumulate wealth from these trends. Some companies offer innovative solutions for people who need access to money and want to achieve their financial goals sooner. However, it&rsquo;s not just consumers. Also, small businesses work with fintech companies to access more capital and reach additional customers.



The fintech industry is vast and filled with promising potential. Let&rsquo;s delve into some of the top fintech stocks to consider.



<h2>Nu Holdings (NU)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/nucypher-crypto-300x169.jpg" alt="The NuCypher (NU-USD) crypto in a sea of blue."><div>Source: Ivan Babydov / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Nu Holdings (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nu-stock-quote/">NU</a>) has outpaced the stock market with a 44% year-to-date (YTD) gain. The Brazilian digital bank is gaining market share in Latin America and has become the region&rsquo;s top digital bank.



The company closed Q4 of 2023 with <a href="https://api.mziq.com/mzfilemanager/v2/d/59a081d2-0d63-4bb5-b786-4c07ae26bc74/a02fb440-0a32-a55b-427e-588f9f3945cd?origin=1">93.9 million customers</a>. It&rsquo;s a 26% year-over-year (YOY) improvement. Nu Holdings hasn&rsquo;t had any issues with generating more revenue from its growing customer base. Revenue surged by 66% YOY, but profits growth was even better. Net income went from $58.0 million in Q4 of 2022 to $360.9 million in Q4 of 2023. That&rsquo;s a 522% YOY increase!



In addition, Nu Holdings is growing at a fast rate in multiple verticals. Customers are making more deposits, putting their money into investments, taking out personal loans and spending on their credit cards. The fintech firm is well-diversified and has healthy profit margins. And, it has less overhead than traditional banks which translates into higher earnings. NU has been a good ride for shareholders over the past year.



<h2>American Express (AXP)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/axp1600-300x169.jpg" alt="an American Express (AXP) credit card sticking out of someone's pocket"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>American Express (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/axp-stock-quote/">AXP</a>) trades at a reasonable 19 P/E ratio. The credit and debit card issuer is expanding its profit margins and has an ambitious multi-year growth plan. Leadership believes it can achieve 9% to 11% YOY revenue growth and mid-teen EPS growth beyond 2026.



Moreover, the fintech firm <a href="https://s26.q4cdn.com/747928648/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/Q1-2024-Earnings-Press-Release.pdf">delivered healthy result</a>s in Q1 2024 that suggest it can maintain those lofty standards. Revenue was in line and grew by 11% YOY. And, net income growth stood out as the $2.4 billion, which was a 34% YOY improvement.&nbsp;



Also, American Express excites investors due to its appeal among Millennials and Gen Z consumers. More than 60% of opened accounts in Q1 2024 were from this group. The company offers a 1.21% dividend yield. The firm has increased its dividend by an <a href="https://www.koyfin.com/company/axp/dividends/">annualized 10.51%</a> over the past decade. Finally, American Express raised its dividend by 17% this year, making it an enticing dividend growth stock.



<h2>Sofi (SOFI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sofi1600-1-300x169.png" alt="SoFi Technologies, Inc logo with stock market chart background. is an American online personal finance company and online bank."><div>Source: Poetra.RH / Shutterstock.com</div></div>SoFi (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sofi-stock-quote/">SOFI</a>) is another digital bank that is gaining traction. The firm saves on overhead since it doesn&rsquo;t need physical branches, and that translates into better rates and terms for its customers.&nbsp;



The stock has been a roller coaster for several years, but the company has been posting appealing financial results. In the <a href="https://investors.sofi.com/news/news-details/2024/SoFi-Technologies-Reports-Q1-2024-Net-Revenue-of-645-Million-and-Net-Income-of-88-Million-Marking-Second-Consecutive-Quarter-of-GAAP-Profitability/default.aspx">first quarter of 2024</a>, SOFi reported $645 million in net revenue and $88 million in GAAP net income. The company&rsquo;s profit margin hit 13.6%, representing a significant improvement. And, Q1 was SOFI&rsquo;s second consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability.



Furthermore, Sofi raised its FY24 guidance, and revenue increased by 37% YOY. SOFI added 622,000 members and closed the quarter with more than 8.1 million members. Memberships grew by 44% YOY. The company is diversifying away from its lending segment which was down by 2% YOY.&nbsp;



Thus, SOFI is gaining mainstream attention. It&rsquo;s the <a href="https://pr.nba.com/sofi-nba-partnership/">official bank of the National Basketball Association (NBA)</a> Sp that designation will result in additional exposure. Currently, the stock has a $7.3 billion market cap and plenty of potential. GAAP profitability makes it more attractive.



<h2>Fiserv (FI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/financial-chart-graphic-fintech-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Graphic of side view of virtual financial charts with tech aesthetic, symbolizing fintech"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/whiteMocca</div></div>Fiserv (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/fi-stock-quote/">FI</a>) is a financial services firm that connects businesses and financial institutions. Businesses use the company&rsquo;s platform to accept payments, track performance and drive sales. Once companies use Fiserv to manage their finances, it&rsquo;s hard to switch platforms due to the time commitment and other factors.



More than 70% of the world&rsquo;s leading brands use Fiserv, and the company&rsquo;s vast customer base has translated into solid gains for investors. The stock is up by 12% YTD and has jumped by 75% over the past five years. Currently, the $87 billion corporation has a 28 P/E ratio.



The fintech firm grew its GAAP revenue by 7% YOY in <a href="https://investors.fiserv.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/58/fiserv-reports-first-quarter-2024-results">Q1 2024</a>. GAAP EPS growth was even better and came in 39% higher than the same period last year. Fiserv affirmed guidance which points to 15% to 17% YOY organic revenue growth for full-year 2024. Analysts are <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/fi/forecast">optimistic on the stock</a> and believe it can gain 15% from current levels.



<h2>Robinhood (HOOD)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/hood1600-300x169.png" alt="The Robinood app logo with the Robinhood (HOOD) website logo in the background."><div>Source: Fluna nightEtJ / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Robinhood&rsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/hood-stock-quote/">HOOD</a>) claim to fame is its brokerage platform. It was one of the first brokerage firms to introduce zero commissions on stock trades, and it&rsquo;s also been a pioneer in the cryptocurrency industry. Robinhood was one of the first brokerage firms to enable crypto trades, while other firms are catching up.



The company&rsquo;s foray into innovative financial products and services can create more opportunities. Investors are monitoring the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/select/robinhood-gold-card-announcement/">unlimited 3% cashback credit card</a> that is available for Robinhood Gold members. Also, fintech firm has an impressive <a href="https://robinhood.com/us/en/about/retirement/?source=google_sem&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_campaign=19147172098&amp;utm_content=144576035736&amp;utm_term=658217213714__robinhood%20ira__p&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAADNGvrPJCSOaWt9dRdwH1q6RYieJj&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwudexBhDKARIsAI-GWYXgJQ6KFslA20q98HEOuS3Fi0FEDxZQJJwftaylExvrecJtkDqLyxkaAnd1EALw_wcB">3% match for IRA contributions</a>.



Very few financial institutions and fintech companies have these types of offers. Most companies don&rsquo;t match any of your IRA contributions. Robinhood can gain more ground as it releases innovative products and its trading platform continues to perform well. While the fintech company has fallen by 49% since its IPO, the stock is up by 45% YTD. Therefore, investors are starting to realize Robinhood&rsquo;s potential, and a recent switch to profitability has helped matters.



<h2>PayPal (PYPL)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/pypl1600-300x169.png" alt="Closeup of the PayPal app icon seen on a Google Pixel smartphone. PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) is a global financial technology company operating an online payment system."><div>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</div></div>PayPal (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>) stock has been decimated in recent years but suddenly looks like an enticing value stock. Shares are down by 41% over the past five years but have rallied by 7% YTD. The stock trades at a 16.5 P/E ratio and offers double-digit profit margins.



<a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/231198771/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/Q1-24-PYPL-Earnings-Release.pdf">Revenue jumped by 9% YOY</a> in Q1 2024 while GAAP EPS was up by 18% YOY. However, growth is expected to decelerate in the upcoming quarters. That&rsquo;s why the P/E ratio is appropriately much lower than it was a few years ago.



PayPal anticipates revenue growth to range from 6.5% to 7% YOY in Q2 of 2024. Also, it expects a slight decline in GAAP EPS for fiscal 2024. PayPal believes this metric will drop from the previous year&rsquo;s $3.84 per share to approximately $3.65 per share. The company cited one-time positive impacts on 2023 EPS from its sale of Happy Returns and successes from PayPal&rsquo;s strategic investment portfolio.&nbsp;



Those benefactors contributed to $0.38 per share in 2023. Removing those advantages only results in $3.46 EPS in 2023. This reduced EPS indicates a 5.5% YOY growth rate for EPS in 2024. It&rsquo;s still a low growth rate, but PayPal trades at an appropriate valuation and is the go-to payment method for <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/218493/paypals-total-active-registered-accounts-from-2010/">more than 400 million users</a>.



<h2>Bank of America (BAC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/bac1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of the Bank of America (BAC) logo in neon red and blue on a tan wall."><div>Source: Tero Vesalainen / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Bank of America (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bac-stock-quote/">BAC</a>) is a well-run financial institution that offers a respectable 2.58% yield and trades at a 13 P/E ratio. The stock has gained 10% YTDand is up by 34% over the past year.



One of Warren Buffett&rsquo;s favorites, it&rsquo;s still delivering impressive profit margins. BAC generated $6.7 billion in net income and $25.8 billion in revenue. Both figures are slightly down YOY but resulted in a 27.2% net profit margin.&nbsp;



In addition, Bank of America has withstood many economic cycles since its founding, including the Great Depression. The bank dates back to 1904 back when it was named the <a href="https://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/content/newsroom/company-overview.html#:~:text=1904:%20A.P.,other%20banks%20at%20the%20time.&amp;text=1919:%20Charles%20Merrill%20hired%20Anne,bonds%20salesperson%20in%20the%20U.S.">Bank of Italy</a>. Investing in durable companies can lead to steady returns and high cash flow.



The financial institution wrapped up its 21st consecutive quarter of account growth. It added approximately 245,000 new consumer checking accounts, bringing the total consumer checking accounts to 36.9 million. Small business checking accounts grew by 2% YOY to reach 3.9 million. Wealth and Investment Management revenue increased by 5% YOY to reach $5.6 billion.&nbsp;

The 7 Best Fintech Stocks to Buy in May 2024

PayPal: Great Valuation, But Weak Setup

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
In a column about PayPal (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pypl-stock-quote/">PYPL</a>) published on Oct. 19, 2023, I <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/why-paypal-stock-is-a-bargain-after-its-sharp-pullback">wrote that</a> &ldquo;PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal&rsquo;s dominance.&rdquo; And I advised investors to &ldquo;buy the shares on weakness.&rdquo; 



That turned out to be pretty good advice as shares jumped 20% between Oct. 19 and May 6. Also noteworthy is that, during the same period, the shares of SoFi (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sofi-stock-quote/">SOFI</a>), a popular fintech name that I&rsquo;ve been bearish on, fell 6%. And now, after PayPal reported standout first-quarter results and with its shares still trading at very low valuations, I continue to recommend that growth-at-a-reasonable-price investors buy the shares. Also importantly, the company has multiple, potential and strong positive catalysts.



<h2>PayPal&rsquo;s Strong Q1 Results</h2>



The fintech giant&rsquo;s top line <a href="https://s201.q4cdn.com/231198771/files/doc_financials/2024/q1/PYPL-Q1-24-Investor-Update.pdf">advanced 9.4% last quarter</a> versus the same period a year earlier to $7.7 billion while its total payment volume (TPV) jumped an impressive 14% year-over-year (YOY) to $404 billion and its earnings per share rose 27% YOY to $1.08.



The company&rsquo;s continued strong revenue and TPV growth show that the Street&rsquo;s worries about the firm losing market share to Apple&lsquo;s (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/">AAPL</a>) Apple Pay are completely unfounded. And the large increase in its EPS suggests that the cost controls implemented by the firm&rsquo;s new CEO Alex Chriss are bearing fruit.



<h2>Low Valuation + Positive Catalysts = Buy</h2>



Despite the recent, strong gains of PayPal stock, the name&rsquo;s valuation continues to be exceptionally low and attractive.



Indeed, the shares <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PYPL/key-statistics">have a forward price-earnings</a> ratio of 15.3x and an enterprise value/EBITDA ratio of 9.2 times. Given PayPal&rsquo;s rapid revenue growth and the large increase in its profits, I believe that the stock remains extremely undervalued.



On the catalyst front, the firm is testing a new, fast checkout feature. According to Chriss, almost 80% of the consumers who have used the feature in tests utilize PayPal to pay when they check out again. Moreover, the conversion rates of the merchants who use it rise about 10%, the CEO reported. 



Given these points, I believe that this offering will significantly increase PayPal&rsquo;s payment volumes while enabling it to convince more vendors to utilize its platform. 



Chriss also indicated that the firm is working harder than under his predecessor to market its fraud-prevention solution. Finally, PayPal has been convincing more small and medium businesses to use its Complete Payments suite. The CEO indicated that the companies that utilize this offering use more of PayPal&rsquo;s products.



Finally, Chriss <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4689879-paypal-stock-pypl-just-warming-up">suggested that he would meaningfully increase</a> the company&rsquo;s low prices going forward.



Over the longer term, I expect these initiatives, taken together, to enable the growth of PayPal&rsquo;s top and bottom lines to meaningfully accelerate.



<h2>Plenty of runway for growth</h2>



There are other indications besides the low valuation of the shares which suggest that the name can advance a great deal.



First,the average price target of Street <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/pypl/forecast">analysts on the stock is</a> $71.48, meaningfully above its current price of around $65. Second, out of 35 analysts who cover the name, only 15 of them have &ldquo;buy&rdquo; ratings on the shares. As more of these analysts &ldquo;see the light&rdquo; and upgrade the shares, they are likely to rise meaningfully.



Finally, the shares <a href="https://research.investors.com/stock-quotes/nasdaq-paypal-holdings-pypl.htm">have a low Relative Strength rating of 48 </a>and an average Accumulation/Distribution rating of C, according to Investor&rsquo;s Business Daily. These metrics indicate that the stock has underperformed in the last year, while institutions have not bought a great deal of its in the last 13 weeks. As many more investors realize that PayPal stock is a bargain ,the shares should rally a great deal.
