Kazuya Nishimura, a top 48% analyst from Daiwa Capital downgrades PYPL to a hold rating and lowers their PYPL price target from $64.00 to $62.00, on Feb 13, 2024.
Daiwa Capital's Kazuya Nishimura downgraded their rating on PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) from Buy to Hold on 2024/02/13. The analyst also lowered their price target by 3.1% from $64 to $62.
Nishimura's reduced price target followed an assessment of PayPal's 2024/02/07-dated Q4 and FY 2023 earnings report and participation in the earnings call.
The analyst expressed uncertainty about the company's ability to achieve medium- to long-term profit growth without a "return to a clear growth trajectory for transaction margin dollars and benefits from increased investments."
Considering management's cautious FY 2024 guidance, there is "considerable potential for an overshoot, but at this stage, we are lacking the conviction to factor in sharp upside," Nishimura added.
