While the company is not immune to macroeconomic challenges, the increasing adoption of e-commerce and digital payments will continue to benefit it in the long run.

It doubled its merchant accounts from 2020 to 2021. PayPal also processed 5.2 billion transactions in the first quarter, up 18% year over year despite a 54% drop in transaction volume from eBay.

In the first quarter, Venmo&#39;s payment volume rose 12% year over year to $58 billion. Besides peer-to-peer payments, Venmo also enables credit card payments, in-store QR code payments, and cryptocurrency purchases. And the company&#39;s partnership with <b>Amazon</b>, which allows the e-commerce giant&#39;s customers to use Venmo for payment, could prove to be another major growth driver.</p><h2>Reason to buy No. 3: PayPal&#39;s low valuation</h2><p>PayPal&#39;s share price is down by over 58% so far this year, which has pulled its valuation down to a similar degree.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c21401d538fd567beac818a7c5a07078\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PYPL PS Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts</span></p><p>The stock is currently trading at 3.2 times forward sales -- almost at the bottom of its historical range since the company turned profitable.

This exaggerated pullback presents an attractive entry point for retail investors.</p><h2>A reason to sell: Rising competition from tech giants in the digital payments space</h2><p>While PayPal&#39;s business fundamentals look strong, rising competition in the digital payments space -- especially from technology stalwarts -- is a risk that should not be ignored. Although it accounted for almost half of the global market share in the payment processing software space as of September, PayPal faces stiff competition from Amazon, <b>Shopify</b>, and Stripe.</p><p>Recently, Amazon made Prime shopping benefits available for all Prime merchants and customers, even on third-party websites.
