@Invest_uy @svocktigon Debit card + Tap to Pay spend +60%. Pay with Venmo TPV +34%. BNPL TPV +23%. Enterprise Payments / PSP mid-teens / PSP +11%. This is a little bit higher than inflation, no?

@svocktigon It is appropriately priced for a company that will grow below inflation for the next years. I do not discard a decrease in revenue and eps even. Apart from that, the opportunity cost of owning such business while we are in history’s greatest tech revolution is too high.

@Invest_uy The how are some segments such as Pay with Venmo and BNPL growing at 30% and 20%? Is 30% no growth? What is growth to you?

@Julian_Trades1 Yes, both are easy buys. Almost no risk, with high return potential, and quickly.

@NoLimitGains There's a reason why they are down. $ADBE business model is in question because AI can make PDFs for you. $PYPL is down because every corporation and bank will soon have its own stable coin to increase treasury demand. Meaning their moat in digital payments shrunk.

@pureMetatron @JosiahForYeshua Jesus is the Anointed One of God. He is not himself that God by whom he was anointed. Why do you insist on Jesus being God? Jesus' prayer: John 17:3  Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

That's wonderful and I'm glad to hear. Do you believe Jesus is God? If so, then what makes you different from a Christian of Jewish ethnicity? Because to me that's what you sound like. (unless you reject the Resurrection and divinity) No disrespect of course, I'm glad we both believe Jesus is the Messiah.

To all the people just tuning in: Hi. I’m Josiah. I’m a Messianic Jew, which means I’m a Jew who believes that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah. Yes, I’m really Jewish. Yes, I really do love Jesus. No, the two aren’t incompatible, and I don’t stop being Jewish when I believe in Yeshua. Yes, it’s not unheard of for Jews to follow Yeshua, just like how all the apostles were Jewish followers of Yeshua, along with tens of thousands more Jewish believers (Acts 21:20). Messianic Jews like me are still around, and I bet even more Jewish believers will make an appearance in the comments. No, God has not ended His covenant relationship with the people of Israel (the Jewish ethnicity)—I’m evidence of that fact, because God always preserves a remnant (Romans 11:1). No, I don’t believe that Jews automatically go to Heaven; the only way to salvation for Jew and Gentile alike is through faith in Yeshua, not through ethnicity or good works. Feel free to ask me if you have more questions! Shalom, peoples.

@FrostyFinances @xnanoblack Paypal and Adobe holders invest in a companies that makes alot of money, unlike all of the AI companies combined - which are in debt. Even chip makers are fueled by others taking on debt.

@xnanoblack So why hold it? Opportunity cost is a bitch. This is exactly what happened to $PYPL holders thus my comparison. Same group of people, same mentality. Weird.

I'll say it again. $ADBE bagholders are the new $PYPL bros. Stuck looking at numbers. They're looking at trees and not the forest. Remember, it doesn't matter what you think. Your opinion is irrelevant as retail. Mr. Market says otherwise. Mr. Market showed that cheap can stay cheap when the market thinks the moat is deteriorating. PayPal kept buying back stock, generated billions in earnings, traded at a low multiple, and still kept falling because investors did not believe the growth story. What makes you think Mr. Market will have any revelation how Adobe is any different.

@AndrewM61370616 @taketheLearly $PYPL did more SBC at a high prices, with less FCF. Now that SBC & Price down, FCF up, the buybacks actually effect the Shares Outstanding in a meaningful way. From 2016 until 2022, it fell from 1.22B to 1.18B which is about 3% less shares, less than it does in One Quarter Now.

@taketheLearly Fair point, I think maybe a better example would be $PYPL as they were/are using cash to do the buyback.

This is not unique to this individual, but I'm seeing this as the main purchase argument for $ADBE as well as others and I think that a lot of people don't understand what buybacks are, or the value of them. If the only argument to buy a company is the buyback, then sell. A buyback is a capital allocation decision that the company is using. In some companies, if they are growing rapidly organically and have a lot of free cash flow, then putting that money into buybacks makes sense - espcially if the stock is cheap. I think for companies like $ADBE who are facing some intense challenges to their business, deciding to use your capital to buyback your company instead of investing into the company to make sure that the company survivies is the incorrect allocation. A counter example is the hyperscalers, investing their free cash into building out data centers is the correct move imo, especially since there is such a high ROI there - probably a much higher ROI than buying back their own shares at this current moment. I have no position one way or another in $ADBE , but constantly see a lot of investors point to the buyback as the investment case for the co. I would encourage you to look at $CHTR as an example of why just buying back stock is not enough for a company if the terminal value of the business is in question.
A.J. Button@AJButton2

Adobe has $27 billion remaining in authorized buybacks. Its market cap is $88 billion. If it uses the buyback budget, and the stock price does not change, then it will retire ~30%~ of its shares. This is more buyback than Alibaba did when it was at $80. $ADBE

@ariaradnia This is an unbelievable opportunity. Anybody comparing $ADBE to $PYPL is a moron. We're dealing with SaaS sentiment and a transition of the CEO/CFO. At this point, we are looking at a PE takeover candidate.

@1000XCryptoCoin @Gubloinvestor It is true. Venmo does probably around 0.5 Billion net profit currently. Pay with Venmo grows at 30%, so 30 PE is good. Therefore a 15B+ valuation now is good. Venmo can go global, and even recently was connected with all Paypal users globally for simple transfers by phone.

$PYPL has lost half of its market-cap in 1 year. Trading near its 52 weeks. Is $PYPL dead like $ADBE ?

@1smartinvestor @EnriqueJLores If stock price increases too early, then Paypal's buybacks won't work as well. The goal now is to improve Paypal's products, revenue, profit. This is done by Paypal+, new Checkout Infrastructure, Firing managers, AI adoption, Venmo clarity, Execution improvement, Paypal Ads, etc.

@EnriqueJLores $pypl at this stock price you should borrow to buy back shares. Also personally buying a million dollars worth of shares would send confidence to the market.

@1smartinvestor @EnriqueJLores The CEO will get many millions worth of stock if the company and specifically stock price increases to approx. $80, $100, $125, I think within 3-5 years.

@BrillResearch It's more likely that it continues buying alot of shares, and within a few quarters will show increased revenue, pulled forward investments pay off, Venmo gets clarity and becomes officially attractive to investors - thus raising Paypal's stock price to $100

$PYPL at this point, what's more likely? 1. PayPal gets acquired 2. PayPal buying back every single share outstanding with its massive FCF generation 3. PayPal's FCF deteriorating to the point where the company goes bankrupt

@tradewithcong Looks like he bought on March 13, 2026, an amount of $1001 - $15,000 twice. So it can be on the lower range. He also sold this amount earlier in February.

Buying the dip is "probably" his forte Rep. Byron Donalds invested ~$30K into a stock that is currently trading near its 9-yr lows Why "probably"? 1. The stock is PayPal - $PYPL 2. He sits on the House Financial Services Committee (oversees PayPal's industry) 3. Right now they are advancing stablecoin legislation that could benefit PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin business Firstly, that's sketchy Secondly, there might still be time to get in since he's down ~7% on the trade

@ArarNecmettin Venmo's Pay with Venmo has the same merchant fee as Paypal Branded Button, and is growing at 34% YoY revenue. BNPL has an even higher merchant fee, and is growing at 23% YoY. Venmo and BNPL together, can be priced at the current market cap of the whole company of 35B at 30 PE.

$PYPL Market still prices PayPal like an old checkout business. But the real call option is PYUSD + stablecoin rails. If regulation clears, PayPal can plug a new financial rail into its existing payment network. Price near the lows. Expectations dead. Story not priced in. Repricing could be violent. Not financial advice

@WaeltzJ BNPL growing at 20%+, Pay with Venmo growing 30%+. Venmo button has the same take rate as Paypal Branded Checkout. BNPL has a take rate even higher, but has some of the credit risk. Investors are upset that Paypal pulled forward investment & has restructuring costs from layoffs.
