Short Thesis: PayPal’s stock has been underperforming due to increased competition and growth concerns. Despite the company’s efforts to reinvent itself through AI-based products, it’s uncertain whether these initiatives will be enough to regain investor confidence and compete effectively in the rapidly evolving fintech landscape. Therefore, there could be a potential short opportunity.
Key Risks: The success of PayPal’s new AI-based products and services could lead to a turnaround in the company’s fortunes. Also, any positive changes in the fintech landscape or regulatory environment could benefit PayPal.
