U.S. central bankers have been surprised by the persistence of inflation and want to lean against it this year without stalling out growth.</p><p>Prices rose 5.7% for the 12 months ending November as measured by the personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred benchmark.</p><p>Powell’s remarks were more guarded than those of some of his colleagues, who’ve called openly for the Fed to starting raising rates at their meeting in March. But the chair typically tries to avoid providing policy guidance in public before he’s had a chance to discuss matters with the Fed’s policy-setting committee, which next gathers Jan. 25-26.</p><p>While stressing that the Fed doesn’t prioritize its congressional mandate for price stability more than the goal for full employment, Powell said that the emphasis can shift and at the moment there was more focus on inflation.</p><p>‘Severe Threat’</p><p>“To get the kind of very strong labor market we want, with high participation, it is going to take a long expansion,” he said. “To get a long expansion we are going to need price stability. And so in a way, high inflation is a severe threat to the achievement of maximum employment.”</p><p>Meantime, Tuesday’s hearing underscored the bipartisan support Powell has for another term, starting next month. Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown told Bloomberg he didn’t expect much change from the January 2018 vote that confirmed Powell for his first term. That count was 84-13.</p><p>President Joe Biden in November nominated Powell for a second term as chair and picked Fed Governor Lael Brainard to serve as vice chair. Brainard’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Biden is also expected to soon nominate three new governors to fill remaining vacancies on the board.</p><p>Financial markets took Powell’s remarks in their stride. Stocks erased losses, with the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 pushing higher while bonds fluctuated.</p><p>“The ongoing vagueness about the timing of the first rate hike contrasts with the avalanche of comments from other Fed directors circling March 2022,” said Thomas Costerg, senior U.S. economist at Pictet Wealth Management. “Bottom line: I have a sense Powell wants to calm things a bit and wants the market to digest quietly the last minutes -- not add fuel to the fire.”</p><p>Investors are betting the Fed will begin raising its benchmark federal funds rate in March, two years after cutting it to nearly zero at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. A Labor Department report Friday showing the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in December -- closing in on the 3.5% pre-pandemic low.</p><p>Fed officials in December said they would accelerate end of their asset purchase program, and forecast they would raise rates three times this year.

U.S. central bankers have been surprised by the persistence of inflation and want to lean against it this year without stalling out growth.Prices rose 5.7% for the 12 months ending November as measured by the personal consumption expenditures price index, the Fed’s preferred benchmark.Powell’s remarks were more guarded than those of some of his colleagues, who’ve called openly for the Fed to starting raising rates at their meeting in March. But the chair typically tries to avoid providing policy guidance in public before he’s had a chance to discuss matters with the Fed’s policy-setting committee, which next gathers Jan. 25-26.While stressing that the Fed doesn’t prioritize its congressional mandate for price stability more than the goal for full employment, Powell said that the emphasis can shift and at the moment there was more focus on inflation.‘Severe Threat’“To get the kind of very strong labor market we want, with high participation, it is going to take a long expansion,” he said. “To get a long expansion we are going to need price stability. And so in a way, high inflation is a severe threat to the achievement of maximum employment.”Meantime, Tuesday’s hearing underscored the bipartisan support Powell has for another term, starting next month. Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown told Bloomberg he didn’t expect much change from the January 2018 vote that confirmed Powell for his first term. That count was 84-13.President Joe Biden in November nominated Powell for a second term as chair and picked Fed Governor Lael Brainard to serve as vice chair. Brainard’s confirmation hearing is scheduled for Thursday. Biden is also expected to soon nominate three new governors to fill remaining vacancies on the board.Financial markets took Powell’s remarks in their stride. Stocks erased losses, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 pushing higher while bonds fluctuated.“The ongoing vagueness about the timing of the first rate hike contrasts with the avalanche of comments from other Fed directors circling March 2022,” said Thomas Costerg, senior U.S. economist at Pictet Wealth Management. “Bottom line: I have a sense Powell wants to calm things a bit and wants the market to digest quietly the last minutes -- not add fuel to the fire.”Investors are betting the Fed will begin raising its benchmark federal funds rate in March, two years after cutting it to nearly zero at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. A Labor Department report Friday showing the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.9% in December -- closing in on the 3.5% pre-pandemic low.Fed officials in December said they would accelerate end of their asset purchase program, and forecast they would raise rates three times this year. Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are forecasting as many as four increases.Balance SheetPowell, asked about plans to shrink the Fed’s $8.77 trillion balance sheet, said at some point this year he and his colleagues will allow it to run off. His remarks follow comments from other Fed officials favoring a start to shrinking the balance sheet fairly soon after the central bank begins raising rates.Noting that the U.S. economy was in a much stronger position than the last time the central bank shrank its balance sheet -- when it waited around two years between raising rates and allowing its holdings to run off, the chair said no decisions had been made but it would be quicker this time around.“The balance sheet is much bigger and so the runoff can be faster. So I would say sooner and faster -- that much is clear,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":617,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9008659107,"gmtCreate":1641435432109,"gmtModify":1676533615282,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tarde

Financial首席市场策略师德特里克结合历史数据指出，今年美股年内创历史新高次数已经创下了1995年以来之最，同时市场并没有出现像样的调整。上一次标普500指数修正5%发生在去年10月，考虑到1928年以来股指每年平均至少会出现2~3次这样幅度的回调，现在的情况并不寻常。另一方面，市场分化也在加剧，标普成份股中刷新52周低点的股票已经超过了突破新高股票的数量，风险释放似乎尚未完成。</p>\n<p><b>5、</b><a

Dimon、花旗的Jane Fraser、富国银行的Charlie Scharf、美国银行的Brian Moynihan及高盛一名高管。\n6、对冲基金表现强于大盘 大跌期间加大空头押注\n在最近的股市大跌期间，有一类投资者春风得意，这就是既能做多也能做空的对冲基金。尽管MSCI全球指数势创近一年来的最大单月跌幅，多空策略对冲基金仍表现出色。根据高盛集团主经纪商汇总的数据，截至周一 ，基于企业基本面选股的基金下跌了1％，而使用计算机模型下注的基金上涨了3％。同期基准指数下跌3％。\n7、美国政府停摆和债务上限问题日益紧迫 民主党仍有后备杀手锏\n美国民主党正在推进的旨在避免政府停摆和联邦违约的策略几乎注定要失败，从而提高了金融市场遭遇冲击的可能性，不过美国议员在市场压力下料最终将采取行动。虽然众议院周二晚间通过了一项议案，让联邦政府在9月30日财政年度结束后仍能获得运作资金，并将债务上限暂停一年以上，但共和党的反对意味着它肯定会在参议院失败。\n市场观点\n1、分析师：鲍威尔讲话意外鹰派 联储或从12月开始减码\n财经网站Forexlive分析师Adam Button就美联储利率决议和鲍威尔新闻发布会发表评论称，美联储主席鲍威尔表示“到2022年年中左右逐步结束购债可能是合适的。”这意味着美联储将从12月左右开始缩减200亿美元购债。Button表示，这是迄今为止市场接收到的最强有力的指引，而且这是一个鹰派的意外，鲍威尔会在必要之前就这一点提供一些明确的指导意见。\n2、CFRA Research：美联储声明暗示或更快速度加息 比预期强硬\n独立投资研究机构CFRA Research就美联储利率决议发表评论称，美联储在声明中暗示，可能会以比预期更快的速度加息。这种言辞可能比许多人预期的要强硬一些，基本上承认如果经济像我们所看到的那样继续增长，就有理由缩减购债规模。\n3、分析师：鲍威尔言论比FOMC声明更强硬也更明确\n分析师Sebastian Boyd就美联储利率决议和鲍威尔新闻发布会发表评论称，鲍威尔说其设想在明年年中逐步结束缩债。考虑到缩债最早可能在11月开始，这听起来并没有很“逐步”，也显然表明美联储提早了缩债开始的日期。\n4、美股牛市遭遇“担忧之墙” 标普离回调10%还远吗\n标普500指数自去年11月以来从未连续两个月下跌，这个历史第四长的纪录正在面临终结的风险。疫情未见拐点、美联储政策转向、财政刺激法案缩水、增税和债务上限等风险因素纷至沓来，令市场避险情绪快速升温。\nLPL Financial首席市场策略师德特里克结合历史数据指出，今年美股年内创历史新高次数已经创下了1995年以来之最，同时市场并没有出现像样的调整。上一次标普500指数修正5%发生在去年10月，考虑到1928年以来股指每年平均至少会出现2~3次这样幅度的回调，现在的情况并不寻常。另一方面，市场分化也在加剧，标普成份股中刷新52周低点的股票已经超过了突破新高股票的数量，风险释放似乎尚未完成。\n5、美国《外交》杂志：经济制裁暴露并加速美国的衰落\n据美国《外交》杂志（9—10月）双月刊发文称，过去10年间，经济制裁已成为美国几乎所有外交问题的首选解决方案，然而，经济制裁的效果并不明显。事实上，经济制裁暴露出美国的衰落，并加速了美国的衰落。\n6、穆迪：美债务违约将引发堪比大萧条时期的经济衰退\n美国总统拜登在试图阐述美国经济观点时，经常引用穆迪(Moody's)的研究。\n他应该利用穆迪首席经济学家马克·赞迪(Mark Zandi)的最新言论，强调两党政界人士就尽快达成债务上限协议的必要性所提出的任何观点。\n7、杰米·戴蒙警告投资者：美联储或在明年被迫采取大幅政策行动\n摩根大通首席执行官杰米-戴蒙警告投资者，尽管美联储竭力安抚市场对通胀和利率的担忧，但明年仍可能被迫采取大幅政策行动。美联储主席鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔年会上已经暗示，央行将在今年年底前开始缩减货币刺激措施，他将于周三决议之后的新闻发布会上给出更多细节。届时，美联储还将公布其备受瞩目的通胀和利率预测。\n公司新闻\n1、Facebook首席技术官将离职 硬件部门负责人接任\nFacebook首席技术官Mike Schroepfer周三宣布将离职。到2022年，现任硬件部门Facebook Reality Labs负责人Andrew Bosworth将接替该职位。\n根据Facebook提交的文件，Schroepfer在周一通知Facebook，他打算辞去首席技术官一职。\n2、微软秋季发布会：Surface Pro 8配备雷电4接口 旗舰Laptop Studio支持三种形态\n当地时间周三，微软举行秋季新品发布会，在十月推送Windows 11系统前对Surface Pro等一系列产品线进行升级，包括了四款Surface电脑和最新款的折叠式手机。\n3、一份新报告显示苹果已经售出20亿部iPhone\n根据一份新的报告，苹果已经售出20亿部iPhone。2021年，苹果公司的iPhone阵容更加多样化，该公司瞄准了各种价格档次。在iPhone 13系列发布后不久，苹果公司对某些机型进行了降价，同时停产了其他机型。\n4、索尼推动并购 印度最大网络娱乐平台或将诞生\n索尼集团印度子公司SPNI和印度最大网络电视平台ZEEL周三表示，双方已签署一项非约束性协议，两家公司将合并，打造印度最大的网络娱乐平台。ZeeL在印度拥有 18% 的收视份额，索尼则拥有8%的份额，合并后新平台的全国收视份额达到26%。这可能就是为什么 ZeeL和SPNI合并后的公司将成为印度最大网络娱乐平台的原因。\n5、“木头姐”趁美股大跌狂扫“便宜货” 目标Coinbase和罗宾汉\n方舟投资掌门人、有着“女股神”之称的凯茜·伍德以在其看好的股票下跌时“逢低买入”而闻名。在周一美股遭到大幅抛售之际，这位华尔街明星基金经理抄底了数十万股Coinbase和Robinhood股票。\n6、特斯拉升级Autopilot辅助驾驶软件：再也不撞警车了\n据报道，特斯拉宣布，已经更新了自动驾驶辅助系统Autopilot，当特斯拉汽车在夜间行驶时检测到”紧急响应车辆“的灯光，可以自动放慢车速。随着2021.24.12版本软件的更新，特斯拉在其Model 3和Model Y车主手册中添加了这一信息。\n7、巴西阿拉比卡咖啡今年或减产近40% 为2009年以来最低\n巴西是全球最大咖啡生产国，但一波又一波的霜冻和干旱导致今年巴西咖啡大幅减产。据机构预测，今年巴西阿拉比卡咖啡产量可能创12年新低。\n以往9月份，巴西咖啡农户将丰收的咖啡豆装满仓库，运输卡车往往需要排队等上一整天才能取到货，但今年巴西咖啡产量如此小，长长的运输队伍几乎消失了。\n8、餐饮软件供应商Toast上市首日大涨56%\n当地时间周三，餐饮软件供应商Toast成功登陆纽交所，最终收盘价较IPO价格涨56.27%，市值站上300亿美元。今年上半年Toast营收翻番至7.04亿美元，但亏损亦从去年的1.25亿美元上升至2.35亿美元。","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":869825822,"gmtCreate":1632273857566,"gmtModify":1676530740405,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"trade

This trend was further accelerated in 2020 (as we can see from the chart below) as the COVID-19 pandemic advanced digital penetration by a few years and caused an unprecedented increase in online spending. PayPal, with its technology, massive scale and brand image has been at the forefront of cashing in on this trend.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/645a580d14b3b92068f6145337974fa4\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"271\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Investor Day Presentation, 2021</span></p>\n<p>Looking ahead, PayPal has a number of opportunities to keep benefiting from the aforementioned secular trend and to grow in its massive market to keep its robust growth intact. Driving the longer-term growth would be the consumer super app, through which PayPal aims to offer a host of consumer services under one roof, beyond just mobile payments. To name a few, these would include basic consumer financial services such as high-yield savings, bill pay, subscription management, budgeting tool sets, and direct deposit capabilities, to name a few.; enhanced commerce facilities for merchants; as well as crypto support, subscription management, and buy now, pay later (BNPL) functionality.</p>\n<p>Venmo, PayPal's P2P payments app, which currently accounts for only under 4% of the company's total revenues, has been rapidly evolving into a multifaceted platform with the introduction of a number of new offerings such as credit card, business card, as well as share and crypto trading. Venmo primarily targets the millennial population and already has a high market share of this demographic area. As it becomes the digital wallet of the future, it has immense opportunities to monetize the new functionalities, and have a higher share in PayPal's total revenues and contribute more to the bottom line in the future. At the&nbsp;Bank of America Merrill Lynch 2021 Global Technology Conference, the company's CEO Dan Schulman pointed out:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>Venmo is like a nascent PayPal of like 5 or 6 years ago. If you look at a TPV annualized of Venmo and you look at the TPV of PayPal 5 or 6 years ago, they are equivalent. And the ability to monetize that user base, that growth rate is so exciting for us. I mean, we are just scratching the surface right now.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Pay-in-4, PayPal's BNPL product, which lets consumers pay for any item priced between $30 and $600 in four installments in six weeks, without interest, is another offering that provides immense growth opportunities for PayPal, partly due to the sheer number of users on PayPal's platform. Since its initial launch in mid-2020, 650k merchants and 7 million consumers have taken part in more than 20 million BNPL transactions, generating ~$3.5 billion of TPV for the company.</p>\n<p>To further bolster its BNPL offering, PayPal recently&nbsp;announced the acquisition of Paidy, a pioneer of buy now, pay later in Japan, for $2.7 billion. The acquisition puts PayPal in a very strong position to capture additional market share in this evolving space, while also expanding PayPal's capabilities, distribution and relevance in the domestic payments market in Japan, the third largest ecommerce market in the world. Paidy already has over six million registered users, more than 700K merchants, and is accepted by most e-commerce sites including Amazon (AMZN), Shopify (SHOP) and Rakuten(OTCPK:RKUNY)&nbsp;in Japan.</p>\n<p>Additionally, PayPal is the first foreign payments company to 100% own domestic payments license inside China. It has already built productive relationships with financial institutions and players inside China, such as China Post, China UnionPay, some of the banks, as well as with tech companies such as Alibaba (BABA). Given the sheer volume of e-commerce in China, PayPal has an immense growth opportunity in the largest retail market in the world.</p>\n<p><b>eBay Migration a Long-Anticipated One-Off Negative Impact, Core Growth Metrics and Margins on Track</b></p>\n<p>TheeBay marketplace is exiting from the PayPal platform as it has been migrating to its own payment solutions, with Adyen as its primary payments processing partner. PayPal stopped serving theeBay marketplaces during 2Q21, and has now become just one of the payment options oneBay. While PayPal has always accounted for the impact of the loss of business fromeBay, the loss was larger than anticipated during 2Q21 (eBay had ~8 percentage point headwind on 2Q21 revenue growth). Even the outlook for the next quarter is pointing towards a deceleration in revenue growth -eBay is expected to have a meaningful 8.5 percentage point headwind to revenue growth in 3Q21.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the company's core growth metrics remain strong, as it raised its TPV growth outlook for 2021 to 33% to 35%, and continues to expect a robust 20% revenue growth in 2021 (despite ~7 percentage point headwind to revenue growth fromeBay). For that matter, the TPV fromeBay is now under 4% of PayPal's total TPV vs. over 17% in 2016, and is expected to fall to less than 3% by the end of the year. Given the already low volumes, any further declines in volumes, if at all, will have minimal impact on PayPal's revenues. Also worth noting,eBay has been a drag on PayPal's growth historically, as shown by the following charts.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea8b42f2941d4c6cf9f170d877aaf690\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"158\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e9c147852657a7d8c586f539e3b8e387\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"182\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: 2Q21 Investor Presentation</span></p>\n<p>On the margin front, migration fromeBay has had a positive impact on the operating margins, as noted by management in&nbsp;2Q21 earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>As eBay's contribution to our revenue declined from 22% to 13%, we've expanded our operating margin 500 basis points given the accelerated pace of migration in 2021. There is a more pronounced effect on our operating margin and earnings growth profile this year.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Going forward, PayPal continues to expect flat to marginal improvements in its operating margins, as investing for growth remains its key focus area.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>We said this year that we expect to have flat, maybe some marginal improvement in our margins. But as we noted at our Investor Day earlier this year, our margins will go up over time, but we want to invest for growth and invest to be that leading digital company, payments company that we know we can be.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>Solid Balance Sheet, Robust Free Cash Flows</b></p>\n<p>PayPal has a solid balance sheet with $19.4 billion of cash and $8.9 billion long-term debt as of the end of 2Q21. Despite the headwinds from the loss ofeBay business, it continues to expect to generate more than $5 billion in free cash flows in 2021, and double it to $10 billion in 2025. This strong financial position allows it to not only invest incrementally to become an integrated platform in digital commerce, but also to pursue acquisitions that nicely fit into its business model. It also uses its solid cash position to return capital to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. In fact, it has returned over $10 billion in capital to shareholders since its separation fromeBay in 2015.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43433fe061f08e884c6514d959b34751\" tg-width=\"548\" tg-height=\"288\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: 2Q21 Investor Presentation</span></p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>PayPal currently trades at 10.5x forward sales, which we view as very reasonable as compared to its long-term high-growth opportunities.</p>\n<p>For comparison, we have compared PayPal to another attractive digital payments company, Square (SQ), as you can see in the following charts.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e8f4464b8e4a048e6f12526dd3513ef\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"667\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>image source: YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Both stocks are attractive, but PayPal is the more established player with higher margins (especially after the change in eBay business), higher book value and revenues and market cap.</p>\n<p>Like many tech stocks, PayPal experienced a price surge over the past eighteen months.

Despite the competition, PayPal enjoys a strong competitive position due to its massive scale of operations focused on online payments and digital wallets, plus its strong financial profile.</p>\n<p><b>Extensive Government Regulations and Oversight:</b>Given the nature and geographic reach of PayPal's business, it is subject to complex regulatory requirements, including for banking, credit, deposit taking, cross-border and domestic money transmission, digital payments, cryptocurrency, data protection and AML. Any failure to comply with the laws and regulations may subject it to significant fines and penalties.</p>\n<p><b>Risks from Credit Products:</b>As PayPal offers various credit products to a wide range of consumers and merchants in a number of geographies, it is exposed to the risk of default. Should some of the consumers/merchants default on payment, PayPal's revenues and profits would be negatively impacted.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>Fintech currently presents massive secular growth opportunities (as we wrote about in our recent report,3 Top Fintech Stocks: Secular Behemoths in the Making), and PayPal will continue to benefit. Specifically, PayPal has a powerful, high-free-cash-flow business that is growing rapidly and with a large total addressable market opportunity. It also trades at a reasonably attractive valuation as compared to its growth. As such, we've placed PayPal high on our&nbsp;watchlist&nbsp;and may add shares in the near future.</p>\n<p>If you are a growth-oriented investor, PayPal is worth considering for a spot in your prudently concentrated portfolio. As always, disciplined, goal-focused, long-term investing is a winning strategy.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>PayPal: Don't Underestimate This Fintech Leader</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nPayPal: Don't Underestimate This Fintech Leader\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-20 08:57 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455985-paypal-pypl-stock-fintech-leader><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nThere is room for multiple winners in Fintech, and PayPal is a strong leader.\nDespite the well known name, this is a dynamic and innovative company with a high growth trajectory and a large ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455985-paypal-pypl-stock-fintech-leader\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PYPL":"PayPal"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4455985-paypal-pypl-stock-fintech-leader","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1102380475","content_text":"Summary\n\nThere is room for multiple winners in Fintech, and PayPal is a strong leader.\nDespite the well known name, this is a dynamic and innovative company with a high growth trajectory and a large total addressable market opportunity.\nPayPal's robust free cash flow allows it to continually innovate and expand to meet the growing adoption of digital payments in the US and across geographies.\nFintech is a powerful secular trend.

Despite its more established brand name, PayPal has a very healthy growth rate (as compared to various other fintech companies, as you can see in the chart below). And PayPal's high-cash-flow business will allow it to continually expand into new and valuable digital commerce offerings. In this report, we review the health of PayPal's business, its growth prospects, valuation, risks and then conclude with our opinion on investing.\nimage source: Our Top 10 Fintech Stocks, Secular Behemoths in the Making\nOverview\nPayPal Holdings (PYPL) is a digital payments company and a technology platform that enables digital and mobile payments on behalf of consumers and merchants worldwide. The company facilitates digital payments through its proprietary payment platforms, including the core PayPal, PayPal Credit, Braintree, Venmo, Xoom, Zettle and Hyperwallet products and services; person-to-person (P2P) payments through PayPal, Venmo and Xoom; and offers personalized shopping experiences for consumers through the Honey Platform.

PayPal stopped serving theeBay marketplaces during 2Q21, and has now become just one of the payment options oneBay. While PayPal has always accounted for the impact of the loss of business fromeBay, the loss was larger than anticipated during 2Q21 (eBay had ~8 percentage point headwind on 2Q21 revenue growth). Even the outlook for the next quarter is pointing towards a deceleration in revenue growth -eBay is expected to have a meaningful 8.5 percentage point headwind to revenue growth in 3Q21.\nNonetheless, the company's core growth metrics remain strong, as it raised its TPV growth outlook for 2021 to 33% to 35%, and continues to expect a robust 20% revenue growth in 2021 (despite ~7 percentage point headwind to revenue growth fromeBay). For that matter, the TPV fromeBay is now under 4% of PayPal's total TPV vs. over 17% in 2016, and is expected to fall to less than 3% by the end of the year. Given the already low volumes, any further declines in volumes, if at all, will have minimal impact on PayPal's revenues. Also worth noting,eBay has been a drag on PayPal's growth historically, as shown by the following charts.\n\nSource: 2Q21 Investor Presentation\nOn the margin front, migration fromeBay has had a positive impact on the operating margins, as noted by management in 2Q21 earnings call:\n\nAs eBay's contribution to our revenue declined from 22% to 13%, we've expanded our operating margin 500 basis points given the accelerated pace of migration in 2021. There is a more pronounced effect on our operating margin and earnings growth profile this year.\n\nGoing forward, PayPal continues to expect flat to marginal improvements in its operating margins, as investing for growth remains its key focus area.\n\nWe said this year that we expect to have flat, maybe some marginal improvement in our margins. But as we noted at our Investor Day earlier this year, our margins will go up over time, but we want to invest for growth and invest to be that leading digital company, payments company that we know we can be.\n\nSolid Balance Sheet, Robust Free Cash Flows\nPayPal has a solid balance sheet with $19.4 billion of cash and $8.9 billion long-term debt as of the end of 2Q21. Despite the headwinds from the loss ofeBay business, it continues to expect to generate more than $5 billion in free cash flows in 2021, and double it to $10 billion in 2025. This strong financial position allows it to not only invest incrementally to become an integrated platform in digital commerce, but also to pursue acquisitions that nicely fit into its business model. It also uses its solid cash position to return capital to shareholders in the form of share buybacks. In fact, it has returned over $10 billion in capital to shareholders since its separation fromeBay in 2015.\nSource: 2Q21 Investor Presentation\nValuation\nPayPal currently trades at 10.5x forward sales, which we view as very reasonable as compared to its long-term high-growth opportunities.\nFor comparison, we have compared PayPal to another attractive digital payments company, Square (SQ), as you can see in the following charts.\nimage source: YCharts\nBoth stocks are attractive, but PayPal is the more established player with higher margins (especially after the change in eBay business), higher book value and revenues and market cap.\nLike many tech stocks, PayPal experienced a price surge over the past eighteen months. And after relatively subdued performance in 2Q21 (due toeBay headwinds), its share price still sits below previous highs.\n\nWall street analysts also have a bullish outlook on PayPal, with 87% assigning it a buy or an equivalent rating. The Street's consensus price target of $330 represents ~14% upside potential from the current price.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nRisks\nCompetition:PayPal faces fierce competition from a number of companies in the global payments industry, including established large tech conglomerates such as Google(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), Amazon, and Facebook (FB), as well as from digital payment tech companies like Square and Stripe (private) to name a few. Despite the competition, PayPal enjoys a strong competitive position due to its massive scale of operations focused on online payments and digital wallets, plus its strong financial profile.\nExtensive Government Regulations and Oversight:Given the nature and geographic reach of PayPal's business, it is subject to complex regulatory requirements, including for banking, credit, deposit taking, cross-border and domestic money transmission, digital payments, cryptocurrency, data protection and AML. Any failure to comply with the laws and regulations may subject it to significant fines and penalties.\nRisks from Credit Products:As PayPal offers various credit products to a wide range of consumers and merchants in a number of geographies, it is exposed to the risk of default. Should some of the consumers/merchants default on payment, PayPal's revenues and profits would be negatively impacted.\nConclusion\nFintech currently presents massive secular growth opportunities (as we wrote about in our recent report,3 Top Fintech Stocks: Secular Behemoths in the Making), and PayPal will continue to benefit. Specifically, PayPal has a powerful, high-free-cash-flow business that is growing rapidly and with a large total addressable market opportunity. It also trades at a reasonably attractive valuation as compared to its growth. As such, we've placed PayPal high on our watchlist and may add shares in the near future.\nIf you are a growth-oriented investor, PayPal is worth considering for a spot in your prudently concentrated portfolio. As always, disciplined, goal-focused, long-term investing is a winning strategy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":304,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883669315,"gmtCreate":1631238254737,"gmtModify":1676530504789,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/883669315","repostId":"2166426123","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2166426123","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1631228094,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2166426123?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-09-10 06:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends down after jobless claims hit 18-month low","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2166426123","media":"Reuters","summary":"Sept 9  - Wall Street ended lower on Thursday after weekly jobless claims fell to a near 18-month low, allaying fears of a slowing economic recovery, but also stoking worries the Fed could move sooner than expected to scale back its accommodative policies.The Labor Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 35,000 to a seasonally adjusted 310,000 for the week ended Sept. 4, the lowest level since mid-March 2020.

Due to this year’s components shortage, chip maker TSMC may raise its part prices to Apple by 3% to 5%, which could lead to a similar increase in the price of the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 13.</p>\n<p>It is unlikely that one of the largest and most successful consumer product companies in the world would try to raise prices without confidence that doing so does not impact demand for the new iPhone substantially. Apple can probably afford to hike prices because the company understands the value and the appeal of its luxury brand.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0140b9b68bb9eb5dd7e88aaff384785d\" tg-width=\"707\" tg-height=\"370\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Figure 2: iPhone 12 Pro on Apple's store.</span></p>\n<p><b>A quote from Jim Cramer</b></p>\n<p>One of the most concerning headwinds to stocks in the foreseeable future is the possibility of inflation eroding corporate margins and leading to higher interest rates in 2021-2022. But should producer and consumer prices spike, not all stocks will be impacted equally.</p>\n<p>Generally speaking, companies with strong pricing power that are able to pass on the higher production costs to consumers will likely outperform. This is a point that&nbsp;Mad Money’s Jim Cramer has made recently. Here is his quote:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “When you try to think of what’s working in this market... I want you to ask yourself, would you be insensitive to a price increase if the company put one through? [What are] the companies that can raise prices without infuriating you? Go buy their stocks.”\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>The impact to the P&amp;L</b></p>\n<p>Are higher prices a good or a bad thing for a company’s financial performance? The answer is nuanced and depends on a few factors.</p>\n<p>Holding all else constant, higher prices also mean higher revenues (think of the formula for sales: price times quantity). If the increase in price is decoupled from an increase in product or operating costs, then the hike also helps to boost margins – thus profits as well.</p>\n<p>However, “holding all else constant” is not how the world really works. A change in price tends to have an impact on a few key variables, most important of which is demand.

This is bad news for users, but probably good news for Apple stock investors.\nIPhone users thinking of upgrading their devices this year (or those looking to switch to the iOS-based product) should expect to reach deeper into their pockets. DigiTimes has reported that Apple’s iPhone 13 could be launched next month at a higher price due to parts inflation.\nBad news for consumers could be great news for Apple stock investors. If the price increase is confirmed, it provides evidence that AAPL might be a great inflation play during these times of worry over rising producer and consumer prices.\nFigure 1: Apple's iPhone 12 Pro.\nWhat happened?\nThe iPhone is already considered a pricey tech gadget that can cost as much as $1,400 for the fully loaded, higher-end 12 Pro Max model in the US (see figure below). Due to this year’s components shortage, chip maker TSMC may raise its part prices to Apple by 3% to 5%, which could lead to a similar increase in the price of the yet-to-be-announced iPhone 13.\nIt is unlikely that one of the largest and most successful consumer product companies in the world would try to raise prices without confidence that doing so does not impact demand for the new iPhone substantially. Apple can probably afford to hike prices because the company understands the value and the appeal of its luxury brand.\nFigure 2: iPhone 12 Pro on Apple's store.\nA quote from Jim Cramer\nOne of the most concerning headwinds to stocks in the foreseeable future is the possibility of inflation eroding corporate margins and leading to higher interest rates in 2021-2022. But should producer and consumer prices spike, not all stocks will be impacted equally.\nGenerally speaking, companies with strong pricing power that are able to pass on the higher production costs to consumers will likely outperform. This is a point that Mad Money’s Jim Cramer has made recently. Here is his quote:\n\n “When you try to think of what’s working in this market... I want you to ask yourself, would you be insensitive to a price increase if the company put one through? [What are] the companies that can raise prices without infuriating you? Go buy their stocks.”\n\nThe impact to the P&L\nAre higher prices a good or a bad thing for a company’s financial performance? The answer is nuanced and depends on a few factors.\nHolding all else constant, higher prices also mean higher revenues (think of the formula for sales: price times quantity). If the increase in price is decoupled from an increase in product or operating costs, then the hike also helps to boost margins – thus profits as well.\nHowever, “holding all else constant” is not how the world really works. A change in price tends to have an impact on a few key variables, most important of which is demand. If higher prices do not impact units sold by much or at all, this is great news for revenues and, most likely, earnings.\nThe other piece to consider is whether the price hike fully or only partially offsets higher costs. Assuming the latter, revenues can still benefit without a corresponding positive effect on margins and profits. The complexity presented by the many moving parts makes it hard to determine with certainty how a more expensive iPhone may impact Apple’s financial statements in the future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":261,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9093052233,"gmtCreate":1643468517676,"gmtModify":1676533823478,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good recommdation&nbsp;","listText":"Good recommdation&nbsp;","text":"Good recommdation","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9093052233","repostId":"1126756363","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":799,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9008659107,"gmtCreate":1641435432109,"gmtModify":1676533615282,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tarde with precaution","listText":"Tarde with precaution","text":"Tarde with precaution","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9008659107","repostId":"1145850594","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145850594","pubTimestamp":1641422572,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1145850594?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-06 06:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed Minutes Flag Chance of Earlier Hikes, Balance-Sheet Rundown","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145850594","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Report offers more details on FOMC debate over inflation pivotSome officials favor ‘significant’ run","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Report offers more details on FOMC debate over inflation pivot</li><li>Some officials favor ‘significant’ runoff of balance sheet</li></ul><p>Federal Reserve officials said a strengthening economy and higher inflation could lead to earlier and faster interest-rate increases than previously expected, with some policy makers also favoring starting to shrink the balance sheet soon after.</p><p>“Participants generally noted that, given their individual outlooks for the economy, the labor market, and inflation, it may become warranted to increase the federal funds rate sooner or at a faster pace than participants had earlier anticipated,” according to minutes published Wednesday of the Dec. 14-15 meeting of the U.S. central bank’s policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee, when it pivoted to a more aggressive inflation-fighting stance.</p><p>“Some participants also noted that it could be appropriate to begin to reduce the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet relatively soon after beginning to raise the federal funds rate,” the minutes said.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1c0e66e6c9637acf2cba5bbb5b6f519e\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The S&amp;P 500 stock index extended declines following the release, falling 1.9% at the close, the biggest loss since November.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% in November, well below the peak of 14.8% in April 2020 but still above the 3.5% rate that prevailed in February of that year.A Labor Department report on December employment due out Friday is expected to show employers added about 425,000 people to payrolls, while the unemployment rate fell to a new pandemic low of 4.1%, according to the median estimates of economists.“Acknowledging that the maximum level of employment consistent with price stability may evolve over time, many participants saw the U.S. economy making rapid progress toward the committee’s maximum-employment goal,” the minutes said. “Several participants viewed labor market conditions as already largely consistent with maximum employment.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":497,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":863358413,"gmtCreate":1632360413732,"gmtModify":1676530762179,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Thanks for update","listText":"Thanks for update","text":"Thanks for update","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/863358413","repostId":"1140447724","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":887728451,"gmtCreate":1632101310173,"gmtModify":1676530700462,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Agree","listText":"Agree","text":"Agree","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/887728451","repostId":"1102380475","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":304,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9008398077,"gmtCreate":1641354342612,"gmtModify":1676533605317,"author":{"id":"3583403892979837","authorId":"3583403892979837","name":"AhTong","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6271e61474eeec93d63201296d59cb72","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3583403892979837","authorIdStr":"3583403892979837"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade with caution","listText":"Trade with caution","text":"Trade with caution","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9008398077","repostId":"1165855346","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165855346","pubTimestamp":1641351082,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1165855346?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-01-05 10:51","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jerome Powell’s Confirmation Hearing for Second Term Set for Jan. 11","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165855346","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Powell’s hearing set for Jan. 11, Brainard’s on Jan. 13President Biden still has three seats to fill","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Powell’s hearing set for Jan. 11, Brainard’s on Jan. 13</li><li>President Biden still has three seats to fill on Fed board</li></ul><p>The Senate Banking Committee will hold separate hearings next week for Jerome Powell on his nomination to a second term as Federal Reserve chair and for Lael Brainard’s elevation to vice chair.</p><p>Powell will appear by himself before the committee on Jan. 11 at 10 a.m. in Washington, the committee said in a notice on its website Tuesday.
