There are both positive and negative comments in the summary, bought at an ave price of 105, should I hold on to it ? - "PayPal isn't out of the woods yet, but the future looks brighter. The growing popularity of digital payments and online shopping should be a tailwind for its business, and despite a string of disappointing financial results, the company still benefits from a strong competitive position in a massive market. From that perspective, with the stock trading at four times sales -- its cheapest valuation since going public in 2015 -- PayPal does indeed look like a bargain buy right now."

Down 70% From Its High, Is PayPal Stock a Buy Now?

In the first quarter, revenue rose just 7% to $6.5 billion, and non-GAAP earnings dropped 28% to $0.88 per diluted share.

During the Q1 earnings call, management provided upbeat insight, noting that &#34;users are engaging with more features and driving incremental average revenue per account.&#34; To reinforce that trend, PayPal is currently adding a high-yield savings product to the digital wallet, and it plans to introduce additional financial services and commerce features in the coming quarters.
