Dan Dolev has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both the strengths and future potential of PayPal Holdings. Despite a slightly slower growth in the Branded Checkout segment, which fell short of some market expectations, Dolev remains confident in the company’s overall trajectory. The consistent performance of PayPal’s Branded button in line with major merchant partners indicates robustness in its core business.
Furthermore, Dolev is encouraged by the acceleration at Venmo and the company’s decision to return capital to shareholders through a new $15 billion buyback authorization. The transaction margin dollars have shown promising growth, and the company’s 2025 guidance exceeds initial estimates, suggesting conservative forecasting and potential for outperformance. These factors collectively underpin Dolev’s positive outlook and Buy rating for PayPal Holdings.
In another report released yesterday, JMP Securities also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $125.00 price target.
