A time-tested financial stock, PayPal Holdings (PYPL) is curiously trading for less than its 2020 pandemic lows, despite earnings per share of $4.13 in 2022 – higher than any year between 2018 and 2020. Shares were absolutely hammered in 2022, shedding 62% due to a weaker macro environment and the loss of its lucrative relationship with eBay (EBAY), notes John Divine, editor of US News & World Report.
