PayPal a Fundamental Buying Opportunity in 2024?

So far, it’s more of the same for shareholders of PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) in 2024. Despite an “AI-fueled” rally in mid-January, the stock closed the month up just 0.29%. Even the company’s announcement that it was laying off 9% of its workforce has failed to lift the stock.

Investors who held PYPL stock in July 2021 have seen their stock drop approximately 80%. That is, if they’re still holding the stock. But with the stock now sitting below its 2019 prices, is it time to get in on the stock? Let’s take a look.

Chris Markoch is a freelance financial copywriter with over five years of experience covering various aspects of the financial markets. You may find his writing a little different than other stock articles you’ve read. And that’s OK with him. Chris doesn’t have a traditional finance background. What he does bring to the table is a strong business and marketing background having worked for agencies that serviced Fortune 500 companies. With that in mind, he isn’t overly impressed with what companies say, and more focused on what they do. And because buyer behavior dictates so much of what happens with a stock, Chris always keeps the end consumer close in mind. Chris has been writing for MarketBeat since 2018.
