r/stocks discussion about companies like CRM and NOW for years: next-to-nothing r/stocks when software craters between 2021 and 2022: (crickets) r/stocks when software craters because of an AI/software narrative: OMG I WANT Everything is narratives now, both in terms of popular stocks and people running to buy the dip in things they didn't seem to care much about for years before this. Additionally, the narrative "2. ai replace SaaS." is not even a thing. All software isn't going to be a zero/replaced by AI - although Medallia getting marked at zero the other day after being bought for 6.3B 5 years ago is a zero - it's simply a re-rating of what had been for years an expensive sector because everyone loved the SaaS business model. Now there are concerns over what the future looks like and those concerns don't mean the entire sector is a zero, it means that they're just not going to continue to be expensively valued. Also, NOW still isn't cheap it's just less expensive than it was. So many people buying things like NOW all the way down and then they have earnings and it tanks another 14%. Some of these names will wnid up being the next PYPL on here: a name where people keep talking about how cheap it is and "the buybacks" year after year after year as it continues to erode.
SaaS names traded at expensive valuations for years because people loved the business model. People worrying over software and AI doesn't mean software are 0's but it does mean that the whole sector got re-rated significantly. And beyond that, while it will bottom at some point the sector will likely continue to contend with AI headlines for a long while to come. While not apples-to-apples, it will be like every time Amazon said something about getting into healthcare and CVS/Walgreens instantly sold off. Things like Medallia getting marked as a zero after being bought by private equity for 6.4B about 5 years ago don't help. The interesting thing to me about conversations regarding software is that people have run to buy all these names like NOW and CRM and there has been little discussion at best on here about these names for years before this - CRM went down 57% or so from top in 2021 to bottom in 2022 and nobody talked about it on here but because headlines and narratives everyone is now interested when it's down 52% off the highs of last year? Too many people think every dip in something is a V-shaped recovery - sometimes stuff winds up like PYPL where people keep going on about how cheap it is and "the buybacks!" year after year as it erodes. There are a couple interesting things to me in Software that have been sold off but they're smaller names. A lot of the stuff like CRM I have zero interest in because really, nothing's gotten me interested in the business for several years now and there's still a long line of names I find more interesting I'd rather buy than try to call the bottom on something I haven't been interested in owning for a while.

Alright peeps! Got my first weekly paycheck and want to grow it! What kind of options should I buy and do you guys think it’ll go up? 1. I want to make sure the stock will be solid and goes up. Maybe going to buy TSLA, or UNH, as it just went up, hoping it will go up another $40-$80 after I buy in. 2. I’m hoping it is quick so I can just take out profits after like 1-3 days, and then throw it back into another stock, maybe PYPL or something cheap like that? What you peeps think??
PYPL on pace to buy back every single share outstanding over the next 5 years... Has more cash on hand than debt and prints 6 billion in profit a year and trades at a worse multiple than fucking consumer staples but yeah keep being bearish on the 8 p/e company
PYPL up .01 It's over for PYPL bears

PYPL generational wealth to be hand
I mean yeah a broken clock is right twice a day. I agree with his PLTR short, but I find his GME and PYPL longs pretty...questionable. I think he also closed his NVDA short. Smart.
Can PYPL just announce it is now a AI powered loan tool. Is that really that hard? We’d pump back to 5 years ago..
I was burned with PYPL following your post bruh
Well you forgot to mention a slipping moat and decreasingly favorable channel mix. Could also be PYPL bagholders just being tired of losing atp. You could phrase similar tales around NVO at this point, doesn’t change sentiment though
PYPL on pace to buy back every single share in the company over the next 5 years, has 6 billion of net income a year and more cash on hand than debt but the market trades it at the same value multiple as fucking General Mills. Okay. Long 5000 shares at 47$
Yeah, I dropped 200k on PYPL
Shout out to that guy with 6MM in AMD and that other guy with 6.5MM in PYPL for making us all feel poor
Its just the overall index .. usually stocks are complimented 50% of the time by the overall push.. so if XLF is going, PYPL has a better chance to keep running. It's not a 1:1 for sure but it helps!
" I didn’t get it right from the beginning, how could the market believe that companies with solid and growing net income would just sit and wait that they get wiped out by AI. " It wasn't that these companies were all going to be zeros or something, it was that these companies were expensive for many, many years because the SaaS model was beloved by many. When the future started to get somewhat cloudy, you got a very quick and significant re-rating lower. There are some opportunities in software, there are also some things that I wouldn't be surprised if they're the next PYPL on here - a stock that is optically cheap, but continues to erode just enough to keep people involved and posting about "how cheap" and "buybacks." There are a few names that people are all excited about and buying the dip on here but those names never generated enough excitement to have more than once-in-a-great while discussion on here in the years before this software decline.
not to be a racist but colleagues who worked and quit PYPL talked about the horrible corporate culture
At the moment, ADBE is a shitty stock. If it becomes a less shitty stock, I'll consider it. Again, I've seen arguments for PYPL being ridiculously undervalued when it was triple its current price. It doesn't matter what *we* think about a company if the market disagrees.
AIG, MRNA, MOS, PYPL, TTD, according to Google Finance
I have buy FICO but PYPL I think is a good chose too
People like this guy are going to be so pissed that they didn’t just buy RDDT instead. Like, it was literally right in front of you the whole time. PYPL has so much competition it’s not even funny. And Venmo… have you ever heard about Zelle?? Buy RDDT you fucking shit sticks.
I hold PYPL, I dont like this post
PYPL is like the ugly kid in class who secretly has rich parents. Balance sheet is solid, cash machine, everyone hates it, perfect combo for a boring compounder while people chase trash. Not sexy enough for WSB but ngl I’ve been quietly loading too.
What’s the price target on your positions? Been watching PYPL for a while and haven’t pulled the trigger… not sure why, it seems there’s little momentum in the stock… Hey, I hope to be wrong
PYPL 5O level to 5Two 😜
Not if you bought PYPL a year ago!
I love when I sell covered calls that expire so so close to the strike but I also hate it. PYPL just stay right here...you've run up enough
Michael Burry is copying my trades. PYPL ?? Really?
PYPL has announced it will shift from a payment service company to an AI friend you pay for. Pay For A Pal AI. PYPL up 453% in after-hours trading
PYPL. monster buy backs. Trading like a consumer staples for some reason
I don't think it's a zero, but I can see it as going similar to how PYPL has over the last few years. Bounces, but a gradual erosion lower - gradual enough to have people keep trying to call the bottom over time rather than being shaken out earlier on.
So we love PYPL again? And definitely MSFT
If you listen to r/valueinvesting you might lose your ass. ADBE, PYPL, NVO…
The following stocks are near all-time lows: ROKU, PYPL, Z, DOCU, MTN, RDDT (sort of), CMG, DECK (sort of). It seems like all Redditors just buy or sell the entire market rather than individual stocks. Plenty of individual stocks seem oversold. Does anybody think about individual stocks anymore?
PYPL has bought back almost 25% of shares outstanding in the past 2 years and had plans to buyback 10% of total shares per year going forward.
Of course my largest positions, ABNB PYPL PATH and not pumping along with the rest of tech. This shit makes me want to KMS
PYPL buying back 10% of shares outstanding a year. Look at the shares outstanding chart, it's actually nuts. Puts
PYPL buying back 10% of the float yearly. Wtf you tards bearish on it for.
Today is so green even PYPL is going up. Its over for bears.
Bullish ☺️ PYPL going to the moon We're all going to be wealthy forever boys Our dreams are coming true
I think there's a couple of smaller names that might be of slight interest but have no desire to buy things like CRM or ADBE. If one or both of those two wind up as the new PYPL on here as people talk for the next three years about "buybacks!" and "how cheap they are" while they gradually erode lower I would not be surprised.
Yes and here too with the “embarrassing losses” on PYPL. Covered calls don’t help through earnings when the stock tanks. Now I’m doing diagonals during normal times and just calls through earnings. This way my capital risk is limited.
So is Adobe the new PYPL
Good for you! I hope you unloaded the SOFI calls yesterday…I did a bearish call spread at the peak yesterday which has paid off. Have another ITM covered call rolling premiums. For PYPL I’ve been doing diagonals. Performing nicely. I’ll take the risk with just the calls through earnings. PFE I’m holding the stock and just did a bullish put spread. I’ll wait until it pushes resistance again to do covered calls.
What a coincidence. I own PFE and PYPL (at embarrassing losses). I bought SOFI calls on the 3 black crows of Friday past and sold them as the advancing black candle of April 9 developed. https://schrts.co/inmCFyWA
I would stay away from SPY, especially 0DTEs, since it’s anyone’s guess what will happen on a day to day basis. I’m just looking at individual setups, see if they make sense. There’s too much going on to try reading an entire market. PFE is still very stable bullish even through the mess. PYPL has bottomed out and shifted into neutral territory. SOFI seems it might have found a bottom but might test it again.
PYPL has been hot garbage long term, but I will be damned if the daily chart is not consolidating and flagging hard AF
In mid February PYPL, was around $38 at its low, and its $46 today. How long do they have to file these things? However, the daily chart looks like it could continue up.
That's gambling, not investing. Fact is, when a stock is falling, we have no idea how far it will fall and if it will ever recover. PYPL and ADBE bag holders still waiting for their moment in the sun...
It’s probably the PYPL offsetting it
Yeah that 80 delta roll is solid in theory, but honestly I've found it doesn't always work out as clean as it sounds. Like your taking your gains and moving them into a new position that's closer to being ITM, which means less time value to work with. I've done it a few times and sometimes you just end up chasing and end up worse off. The SOFI and PYPL thing though - yeah man, that's the anticipation thing I was talking about.
Lmao, everyone here was shitting on UNH ADBE and PYPL all year long
1) I disclosed my positions. 2) According to Fidelity, my 1M return is -2.5% compared with -4.23% of the S&P, and most of my loss is because when I sold out of my positions, I didn't sell my LEAPS (which are calls on PATH and PYPL for 2028). 3) This is a stock subreddit. Why does having a discussion about... checks notes... stocks seem to bother you? Other than your feel bads being felt bad that I have a bearish view? 4) I am sorry that you were forced to read and participate in this post.
SOFI, META, PYPL, BULL, UNH If you got burnt by these, understand that you are not alone....
Who else regrets buying PYPL after getting trapped by the value investor sub
Economic downturn affects everyone. I had PYPL and sold for a loss. The K economy is based on rising assets. Those with assets continue to spend as long as assets continue to go up. Rich Arabs are selling equities to cover destruction. They also have no revenue and will not invest in US equities. You know there are a ton of loans that are going to default which causes a cascading affect like 2008. The money supply is going to shrink. Hence, the dollar is getting stronger. Global contracts are priced in dollars. You have to sell something of value for dollars to pay your debt or else you default. The demand for dollars is greater outside the US than inside.
"If there's no LNG or oil to run your fabrication, how are you going to sell what was promised." I don't know how this applies to companies like RDDT, ROKU, PYPL, Z, DOCU, MTN, which don't manufacture anything.
They are getting hit by terrible headwinds: consumer weakness, tariffs, and anti-American sentiment. Even worse, their key consumer demographic tends to be younger men, which is in the weakest part of the K-shaped economy. A lot of forecasters like Morningstar consider this a value pick, but I just don’t see it. The P/E ratio is still really high and their revenue and income has been shrinking. Most of the other “value investor falling knives” like PYPL, NVO, ADBE, LULU, etc. actually have legitimately low positive growth rates.
VITL and PYPL, that person needs to focus on their job 💀
Told bers to buy the mag7 dip and retards compared meta and Msft to fuming PYPL and ADBE. This is why bears stay poo
I thought PYPL was cheap when it hit a PE of 10. It fell another 20% since then. I thought ADBE was cheap when it hit a PE of 15. It's still falling now. What is cheap can always get cheaper.
I'm down around $57K YTD mostly thanks to $PYPL
Bear market bottoms usually have two good indicators: 1) Bols literally feel like they went extinct. If you thought the last few days were bearish, it needs to be more like a 2025 ValueInvesting circle jerk about PYPL levels of one-sided discussion. The very thought of buying any stock needs to create nausea in your stomach. 2) At least one bout of capitulation. We haven't even had a single 3-5% down day yet, so yeah. Anything else you just assume is a counter-trend rally mixed with short covering.
MU tards should buy PYPL if they love P/E LMAO
You know it's fake when even PYPL is up.
Yeah, I've lost my options trading mojo for this whole year so far w\this fooloid administration in power. 😣😞 Its bad enough I was a fool buying shares of OKLO, PYPL and NFLX thinking they would go up w\the positive news at the time - it'll be the year 3000 before I get back to break even to sell, SMDH...
Half of r/ValueInvesting aped into garbage like ADBE NVO DUOL PYPL and got wiped out. The surviving half decided to yolo into MSFT and GOOGL thinking big tech was a safer bet only to get wiped out as well. Full on genocide of the ValueInvesting bulls.
That's the difficult part, picking out the NVDA, META etc from the TDOC and PYPL. It's always easy looking back.
Look at the PYPL chart. I know people that held for 3+ years hoping the same thing. There's no guarantee that stocks return to their ATH.
I’m back to dripping money into PYPL. Seriously outperforming the market since it got kicked in the head on earnings. PE single digits and their buybacks are seriously impressive, plus a dividend. They also have cash > debt which right now I think will be important as inflation is back and debt will be an albatross for many many companies
what do yall think about this port? LEAPS on ORCL, PYPL, ADBE, NVO, 1 year calls, 100% port
I will say a lot of them are legit it's just about sifting through and finding them. But I will also add that usually when you go into these subreddits and you read comments and you see something that's heavily upvoted it usually ends up being fairly good. Or has been for me since back in February of last year. ASTS, RDDT, RKLB, NVO (which did work out for a time), PYPL (horrible lol), PL, PLTR, NVDA (back at $120 when I found it before the April dip to $89 which obviously was a steal), NBIS BEOFRE liberation day at $40. Etc. It's just about finding them and doing a bit of your own due diligence but I will tell you for me a lot of them worked out very well
Fiserv beat the latest quarter with $1.99 EPS vs $1.90 expected and $4.90B revenue vs $4.78B, but guided FY2026 to $8.00–8.30 EPS versus analyst expectations of $10.23; the stock trades at a P/E of 8.92 and has a $30.26B market cap. Below 50 and 200 moving averages. Fiserv had a return on equity of 18.39% and a net margin of 16.42%. Are there better stocks , sure, PYPL might be worth a look
I hear PYPL is a great investment.
Value investors will buy PYPL NVO MSFT and ABDE at these levels and still get burned
PYPL potential right there
It looks like it’s in value territory, it’s just that you can’t predict how long it will stay flat or drop a bit more. Calls and Puts are not advisable for regarded stocks like PYPL. Better just buy shares and hold
Still waiting for PYPL sale, if my April 17 calls expire worthless, I am suing Bloomberg for posting yet another fake exit liquidity story
I’m paying off a massive margin debt and drip buying PYPL shares. I think this can get significantly worse and I’m already in the dumps so not looking to add anythijg serious
