4. Before you start to panic and sell PYPL at this price, do your own research and think. So what are the facts about PYPL?

1) y/y revenue UP by 7.1%, the number of transactions by 10.2%, total payment volume by 10.8%, EPS by 24.7%

3) the lowest price target ($65) was announced by an analyst named David Togut (Evercore), one of the worst ranked analysts with succes rate 50%. Moreover, on 9th July 21 this clown from Evercore raised the price target to $370 from $319, on 2nd Feb 22 he still recommends to BUY with PT $245, as he did in his last "analysis" form 1st Feb 23. And now this expert finally woke up.
