Unfortunately, that rapid proliferation in money supply has stoked fears about inflation, and the stock market has taken a hit -- especially tech stocks.</p>\n<p>Even so, investors should consider buying <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> Holdings</b> (NASDAQ:PYPL). Its business model could actually help hedge against inflation, and the company recently reported impressive financial results for the first quarter of 2021. Here's what investors should know.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/077dc3a5939967c4ac33f4345c41d554\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"496\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>PayPal's strongest quarter ever</h3>\n<p>PayPal provides financial solutions for consumers and merchants, facilitating digital payments both in stores and online. During 2020, the pandemic supercharged its business, but the company hasn't lost momentum.</p>\n<p>CEO Dan Schulman started the first-quarter earnings call by telling investors, \"We just completed our strongest quarter ever.\" Growth in active accounts and total payment volume (TPV) accelerated to 21% and 50%, respectively. That drove revenue of $6 billion for the quarter, up 31%, and free cash flow of $1.5 billion, up 27%.</p>\n<p>Those latest quarterly results fit PayPal's long-term trend of strong financial performance.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n <th><p>2017</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2021 (TTM)</p></th>\n <th><p>CAGR</p></th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>Revenue</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>$13.1 billion</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>$22.9 billion</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>19%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>Free cash flow</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>$1.9 billion</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>$5.3 billion</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>38%</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data source: PayPal SEC filings. TTM = trailing 12 months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.</p>\n<p>Notably, PayPal earns revenue as a percentage of payment volume. That means inflation could theoretically boost the company's top line -- as consumer prices increase, PayPal's cut would increase, too. But even if that doesn't play out, this fintech stock still looks like a good long-term investment.</p>\n<h3>New products and partnerships</h3>\n<p>During the Q1 earnings call, Schulman provided an update on PayPal's $110 trillion market opportunity. Specifically, he noted that the success of several new products and partnerships was driving the expansion of that figure.</p>\n<p>For instance, PayPal launched QR code payments in May 2020, enabling consumers to make in-store purchases with a smartphone. By the end of the year, over 600,000 merchants accepted PayPal and Venmo QR codes. Schulman noted strong momentum during Q1, with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> new business adopting the service every 28 seconds. In total, the company says, nearly 1 million merchants now accept PayPal and Venmo QR codes at checkout.</p>\n<p>PayPal also recently partnered with financial service provider <b>Fiserv</b>, expanding its QR code service to Clover point-of-sale (POS) systems. Last year, Fiserv merchants using the Clover POS system facilitated over $135 billion in payments, putting PayPal in front of another big opportunity.</p>\n<p>In the last 12 months, PayPal also launched several other products to drive user engagement. For instance, consumers can now buy and make purchases with cryptocurrency. PayPal also introduced the Venmo credit card and a buy now, pay later (BNPL) option. So far, the results are promising, as payment transactions and transactions per active account both accelerated in Q1.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2019</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2020</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2021</p></th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"180\"><p>Payment transactions growth (YOY)</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>28%</p></td>\n <td width=\"150\"><p>15%</p></td>\n <td width=\"138\"><p>34%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"180\"><p>Transactions per account growth (YOY)</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>9%</p></td>\n <td width=\"150\"><p>4%</p></td>\n <td width=\"138\"><p>7%</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>YOY=year over year. Data source: PayPal SEC filings.</p>\n<p>PayPal has formed a partnership with the world's largest e-commerce retailer: <b>Alibaba Group Holding</b>. According to Schulman, the agreement \"will enable hundreds of millions of consumers outside of China to shop across Alibaba sites in China.\" This represents a significant opportunity. Case in point, Alibaba's gross merchandise volume (GMV) was more than double <b>Amazon</b>'s in 2020.</p>\n<p>PayPal has also formed a partnership with fintech company FlutterWave in Africa, increasing merchant access to PayPal consumers. Notably, e-commerce adoption in Africa is far lower than it is in developed countries like the U.S. and China, giving PayPal a chance to take share in that emerging market.</p>\n<h3>The future looks bright</h3>\n<p>PayPal plans to launch its next-generation digital wallet in the third quarter this year. According to Schulman, the app will be an all-in-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> tool that provides consumers with customized shopping experiences and financial services. Investors should pay attention to this situation, as it could mark an inflection point for the fintech company.</p>\n<p>So what's the takeaway?

Unfortunately, that rapid proliferation in money supply has stoked fears about inflation, and the stock market has taken a hit -- especially tech stocks.\nEven so, investors should consider buying PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL). Its business model could actually help hedge against inflation, and the company recently reported impressive financial results for the first quarter of 2021. Here's what investors should know.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPayPal's strongest quarter ever\nPayPal provides financial solutions for consumers and merchants, facilitating digital payments both in stores and online. During 2020, the pandemic supercharged its business, but the company hasn't lost momentum.\nCEO Dan Schulman started the first-quarter earnings call by telling investors, \"We just completed our strongest quarter ever.\" Growth in active accounts and total payment volume (TPV) accelerated to 21% and 50%, respectively. That drove revenue of $6 billion for the quarter, up 31%, and free cash flow of $1.5 billion, up 27%.\nThose latest quarterly results fit PayPal's long-term trend of strong financial performance.\n\n\n\nMetric\n2017\nQ1 2021 (TTM)\nCAGR\n\n\n\n\nRevenue\n$13.1 billion\n$22.9 billion\n19%\n\n\nFree cash flow\n$1.9 billion\n$5.3 billion\n38%\n\n\n\nData source: PayPal SEC filings. TTM = trailing 12 months. CAGR = compound annual growth rate.\nNotably, PayPal earns revenue as a percentage of payment volume. That means inflation could theoretically boost the company's top line -- as consumer prices increase, PayPal's cut would increase, too. But even if that doesn't play out, this fintech stock still looks like a good long-term investment.\nNew products and partnerships\nDuring the Q1 earnings call, Schulman provided an update on PayPal's $110 trillion market opportunity. Specifically, he noted that the success of several new products and partnerships was driving the expansion of that figure.\nFor instance, PayPal launched QR code payments in May 2020, enabling consumers to make in-store purchases with a smartphone. By the end of the year, over 600,000 merchants accepted PayPal and Venmo QR codes. Schulman noted strong momentum during Q1, with one new business adopting the service every 28 seconds. In total, the company says, nearly 1 million merchants now accept PayPal and Venmo QR codes at checkout.\nPayPal also recently partnered with financial service provider Fiserv, expanding its QR code service to Clover point-of-sale (POS) systems. Last year, Fiserv merchants using the Clover POS system facilitated over $135 billion in payments, putting PayPal in front of another big opportunity.\nIn the last 12 months, PayPal also launched several other products to drive user engagement. For instance, consumers can now buy and make purchases with cryptocurrency. PayPal also introduced the Venmo credit card and a buy now, pay later (BNPL) option. So far, the results are promising, as payment transactions and transactions per active account both accelerated in Q1.\n\n\n\nMetric\nQ1 2019\nQ1 2020\nQ1 2021\n\n\n\n\nPayment transactions growth (YOY)\n28%\n15%\n34%\n\n\nTransactions per account growth (YOY)\n9%\n4%\n7%\n\n\n\nYOY=year over year. Data source: PayPal SEC filings.\nPayPal has formed a partnership with the world's largest e-commerce retailer: Alibaba Group Holding. According to Schulman, the agreement \"will enable hundreds of millions of consumers outside of China to shop across Alibaba sites in China.\" This represents a significant opportunity. Case in point, Alibaba's gross merchandise volume (GMV) was more than double Amazon's in 2020.\nPayPal has also formed a partnership with fintech company FlutterWave in Africa, increasing merchant access to PayPal consumers. Notably, e-commerce adoption in Africa is far lower than it is in developed countries like the U.S. and China, giving PayPal a chance to take share in that emerging market.\nThe future looks bright\nPayPal plans to launch its next-generation digital wallet in the third quarter this year. According to Schulman, the app will be an all-in-one tool that provides consumers with customized shopping experiences and financial services. Investors should pay attention to this situation, as it could mark an inflection point for the fintech company.\nSo what's the takeaway? PayPal continues to strengthen its global network, successfully driving engagement and growth across its payments ecosystem. And with the share price trading roughly 20% below its 52-week high, now looks like a good time to buy this growth stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":170,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":138197892,"gmtCreate":1621916096816,"gmtModify":1704364385660,"author":{"id":"3584784318093008","authorId":"3584784318093008","name":"Kiddykid","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4fce1c31007eb7909205ccb259039211","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3584784318093008","authorIdStr":"3584784318093008"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Super","listText":"Super","text":"Super","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/138197892","repostId":"2138159964","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138159964","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1621912080,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138159964?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-25 11:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why once-hot hedge-fund stock picks are now the 'pain trade' of 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2138159964","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Reflects shift in market leadership toward 'riskier value and cyclical recovery plays': RBC.\n\nThe re","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>Reflects shift in market leadership toward 'riskier value and cyclical recovery plays': RBC.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>The reflation trade -- a bet that assets that benefit from a post-pandemic surge in growth and inflation will outperform their traditionally safer peers -- is putting the hurt on tech and other growth-oriented shares that have been popular with big hedge funds.</p>\n<p>That finding comes from the latest look by RBC Capital Markets at a basket of stocks it dubs \"hedge-fund hot dogs,\" a roster of the most popular holdings among hedge funds based on their quarterly 13-F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

By the end of the year, over 600,000 merchants accepted PayPal and Venmo QR codes. Schulman noted strong momentum during Q1, with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> new business adopting the service every 28 seconds. In total, the company says, nearly 1 million merchants now accept PayPal and Venmo QR codes at checkout.</p>\n<p>PayPal also recently partnered with financial service provider <b>Fiserv</b>, expanding its QR code service to Clover point-of-sale (POS) systems. Last year, Fiserv merchants using the Clover POS system facilitated over $135 billion in payments, putting PayPal in front of another big opportunity.</p>\n<p>In the last 12 months, PayPal also launched several other products to drive user engagement. For instance, consumers can now buy and make purchases with cryptocurrency. PayPal also introduced the Venmo credit card and a buy now, pay later (BNPL) option. So far, the results are promising, as payment transactions and transactions per active account both accelerated in Q1.</p>\n<table>\n <thead>\n <tr>\n <th><p>Metric</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2019</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2020</p></th>\n <th><p>Q1 2021</p></th>\n </tr>\n </thead>\n <tbody>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"180\"><p>Payment transactions growth (YOY)</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>28%</p></td>\n <td width=\"150\"><p>15%</p></td>\n <td width=\"138\"><p>34%</p></td>\n </tr>\n <tr>\n <td width=\"180\"><p>Transactions per account growth (YOY)</p></td>\n <td width=\"156\"><p>9%</p></td>\n <td width=\"150\"><p>4%</p></td>\n <td width=\"138\"><p>7%</p></td>\n </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>YOY=year over year.

Unfortunately, that rapid proliferation in money supply has stoked fears about inflation, and the stock market has taken a hit -- especially tech stocks.\nEven so, investors should consider buying PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL). Its business model could actually help hedge against inflation, and the company recently reported impressive financial results for the first quarter of 2021.
