Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>) on Thursday unveiled two strategic moves—acquiring Global Payments&#8217; Issuer Solutions unit and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44859301/fis-announces-sale-of-worldpay-stake-and-strategic-acquisition-of-global-payments-issuer-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">selling its remaining stake in Worldpay.</a>
What Happened: The Jacksonville, Florida-based firm agreed to purchase Global Payments&#8217; Issuer Solutions arm in a transaction valued at $13.5 billion. The deal includes $1.5 billion in projected tax-related benefits, resulting in a net outlay of $12 billion.
Simultaneously, Fidelity National will offload its 45% stake in Worldpay to Global Payments for $6.6 billion in pre-tax proceeds.
Fidelity National CEO Stephanie Ferris described the acquisition as a &#8220;high-margin&#8221; growth opportunity.

Why It Matters: The Issuer Solutions platform processes over 40 billion transactions annually, serving clients across more than 75 countries.
It is expected to bolster Fidelity National&#8217;s existing suite of services in debit and banking infrastructure. It could also broaden access to a $28 billion global issuer market—including $15 billion in the U.S. alone.
&#8220;Issuer Solutions&#8217; globally scaled credit processing capabilities are highly complementary to FIS&#8217; established debit processing capabilities, strengthening our broader banking and capital markets offering,&#8221; Ferris said.
Separately, GTCR—which acquired a 55% majority stake in Worldpay from Fidelity National in 2023—will now sell the payments<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44859362/gtcr-announces-sale-of-worldpay-to-global-payments-for-24-25-billion-in-conjunction-with-transform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> firm to Global Payments for $24.25 billion.</a> The private equity firm will receive 59% cash and 41% stock consideration as part of the Worldpay transaction.
Upon closing, GTCR will own shares representing 15% of Global Payments&#8217; outstanding shares.
CEO Charles Drucker will continue to lead the Worldpay team through the transition and future integration.
What&#8217;s Next: Fidelity National intends to finance the acquisition with $8 billion in new debt alongside proceeds from the Worldpay sale.
The purchase price for Issuer Solutions reflects a valuation of approximately 9 times expected 2025 EBITDA. The Worldpay sale to Global Payments stands at about 10.5 times expected 2025 EBITDA.
These two interlinked transactions are expected to close in the first half of 2026.
Following completion, Fidelity National plans to momentarily pause share repurchases and M&amp;A activity to prioritize reducing its debt.
1Q 2025&nbsp;Update
Fidelity National will release official earnings release scheduled for May 6. The company said it reported total preliminary revenue of about $2.5 billion versus the estimate of $2.57 billion. The <a href="https://www.investor.fisglobal.com/news-releases/news-release-details/fis-reports-full-year-2024-results-and-2025-outlook-confirms#:~:text=Full%2DYear%202024%20Financial%20Results&amp;text=approximately%20%2410.1%20billion.-,GAAP%20net%20earnings%20attributable%20to%20common%20stockholders%20from%20continuing%20operations,by%204%25%20recurring%20revenue%20growth." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior view</a> was $2.485 billion- $2.51 billion.

Mr. Drucker&nbsp;assembled a world-class management team and executed a strategic vision centered on technology investments, operational improvements, and targeted acquisitions. Under Mr. Drucker's leadership, Worldpay expanded its global processing capabilities, launched innovative payment solutions, and enhanced its fraud prevention offerings.

The sale of Worldpay is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The sale of Worldpay and the sale of Global Payments' Issuer Solutions business are cross-conditioned upon one another and will close at the same time.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds.

주식 시장은 12월 마지막 거래일에 이익을 얻는 경향이 있다는 사실이 잘 입증되어 있습니다. 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42667439/us-stocks-to-open-higher-on-shortened-trading-day-as-santa-clause-rally-period-begins-says-analyst">&#8220;산타 클로스 랠리&#8221;</a>로 알려진 현상이다.
이 낙관적인 시기는 역사적으로 투자자들에게 기쁨을 안겨주었으며, S&amp;P 500 지수가 지난 96년 중 64년에서 12월 24일부터 12월 31일 사이에 상승하여 평균 0.85%의 괜찮은 수익률을 기록했다. 이는 시즌액스(Seasonax)의 데이터에 따른 것이다.
산타 랠리의 가장 기억에 남는 성과는 2018년에 발생했으며, 이때 S&amp;P 500이 6.6% 급등하여 기록상 가장 강력한 연말 랠리를 기록했다. 1933년에도 5.5%의 상승률을 기록하며 뒤를 이었다.
반면, 1937년과 2000년은 예외적으로 같은 기간 동안 각각 4.6%와 2.4%의 손실을 기록했다.
선거 연도에도 이 패턴은 유지되어, 2024년이 마무리될 때 트레이더들에게 희망을 제공한다. 지난 24년의 선거 연도 중 S&amp;P 500은 15번 상승하여 평균 0.7%의 소폭 상승률을 기록했다. 2008년에는 4% 상승, 1928년에는 3.4% 상승하는 주목할만한 랠리가 발생했다.

산타 랠리: 연말 기간 동안 일관되게 우수한 성과를 보여주는 S&P 500 주식 10종

연말 연휴 시즌이지만, 이번 주 주식 시장의 축제 분위기는 그리 유쾌하지 않았다.
주 초에는 나스닥 100이 22,000을 돌파하며 사상 최고치를 기록하고, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/24/12/42561549/fed-slashes-interest-rates-by-0-25-as-predicted-december-dot-plot-flags-only-2-potential-cuts-in-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">연방준비제도(연준) 회의</a>를 앞두고 금리 인하에 대한 낙관적인 전망으로 트레이더들이 고무된 상황이었다.
모든 징후는 월스트리트가 전통적으로 연말 마지막에 주가가 상승하는 &#8216;산타 랠리&#8217;를 다시 한번 맞이할 것으로 보였다.
그러나 트레이더들이 축제 분위기의 연말 강세장을 준비하던 중, 주 중반에 &#8216;그린치(Grinch)&#8217;가 등장하여 축제에 찬물을 끼얹었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">그린치가 쇼를 훔쳐갔다</h3>
수요일은 연준의 매파적인 발언이 시장에 충격파를 가하면서 극적인 전환을 맞이했다.
연준 의장 제롬 파월은 투자자들에게 &#8220;새로운 단계&#8221;의 통화 정책을 선언하며 원치 않는 선물(a lump of coal)을 안겨주었다. 연준이 이미 9월 이후 100bp(베이시스포인트) 금리를 인하했음에도 불구하고, 파월은 중립 지대로 &#8220;상당히&#8221; 가까워졌다고 언급하며 장기적인 일시 정지를 시사했다.
명확한 의미는 공격적인 금리 인하 시대가 끝났다는 것이었다. 더 나쁘게도, 그린치는 내년에 금리 인상 가능성을 배제하지 않았다. 이 예상치 못한 전개는 트레이더들에게 전율을 일으키고 시장을 흔들리게 했다.
시카고 옵션 거래소 변동성 지수(VIX), 소위 월스트리트의 공포 지표가 수요일에 70% 이상 급등하며 2018년 2월 이후 가장 큰 단일일 상승폭을 기록했다.
S&amp;P 500과 다우존스 산업평균지수는 2년 이상 만에 가장 나쁜 하루 성과를 기록했으며, 기술주들은 깊은 물속으로 가라앉았다.
산타 랠리에 대한 희망은 그린치가 쇼를 훔쳐가면서 무너지는 듯 보였다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">크리스마스 기적?</h3>
모든 것이 잃어버린 것처럼 보일 때, 금요일에는 크리스마스 이야기에서나 나올 법한 반전의 희망이 찾아왔다.
최신 인플레이션 데이터는 트레이더들에게 예상치 못한 선물을 안겨주었다. 연준의 개인소비지출(PCE) 물가 지수가 11월에 2.4% 상승하여 예상된 2.5%를 밑돌았다. 더욱 고무적인 것은, 변동성이 큰 음식과 에너지 가격을 제외한 핵심 PCE가 2.8%로 안정세를 유지하며 2.9% 예상을 하회한 것이다.
예상보다 낮은 인플레이션 수치는 마치 크리스마스 트리 아래에서 반짝이는 새 장난감을 발견한 것과 같았다.
위험 선호도가 빠르게 반등하며, 트레이더들은 주 초에 매도세로 타격을 입었던 주식들을 사기 위해 몰려들었다.
시장 분위기는 밝아졌고, 이에 따라 산타 랠리의 내러티브도 다시 모멘텀을 되찾기 시작했다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">산타 랠리와 그 유산</h3>
주식 시장은 12월 마지막 거래일에 상승하는 경향이 오랜 역사를 가지고 있다.
시즌액스(Seasonax)의 데이터에 따르면, S&amp;P 500은 12월 20일부터 31일 사이에 76년 중 96년에서 상승세를 보였으며, 평균적으로 1.92%의 수익률을 기록했다. 지난 8년간은 이 연말 랠리가 매우 일관되게 긍정적인 수익을 제공하였다.
지난 30년 동안 S&amp;P 500은 30회 중 24회에서 연말을 높은 가격으로 마감했다. 심지어 손실도 상대적으로 경미했으며, 가장 최근의 12월 하락은 2022년에 발생하여 지수가 마지막 며칠 동안 1.8% 하락했다.
2024년 마지막 거래일이 6일 남은 지금, 트레이더들은 여전히 산타 랠리를 구할 시간이 있을지도 모른다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">연말 상승을 위한 주목할 10개 주식</h3>
지난 20년의 데이터를 바탕으로, S&amp;P 500 지수에서 강력한 연말 성과를 지속적으로 기록한 10개의 주식들을 소개한다:

산타 랠리를 위해 그린치와 싸우는 트레이더들: 연말 급등을 예상하는 S&P 500 주식 10개

산타 랠리는 주식 시장의 계절적 트렌드를 나타내며, 역사적으로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269611/dollar-enters-its-most-bearish-month-of-the-year-could-december-2024-be-any-different" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">마지막 12월</a>에 주식들이 더 강한 상승세를 보이는 현상이다. 이는 연말 휴가의 기쁨, 연말 포트폴리오 재조정 및 투자자 낙관주의 등에 의해 촉발되는 경우가 많으며, 수십 년에 걸쳐 반복되는 패턴이다.
그렇다면 12월이 특별한 이유는 무엇일까? 그리고 어떤 주식들이 역사적으로 이 기간 동안 더 높은 성과를 보였을까?
숫자를 살펴보자.
<h3>12월: 주식에 대한 계절적 호재</h3>
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500이 6% 상승하면서 11월에 강세를 보인 후 &#8220;역사적으로 주식 시장 시즌에 좋은 달이었기 때문에 주식의 모멘텀은 계속될 수 있다&#8221;고 LPL 파이낸셜의 포트폴리오 전략가인 조지 스미스(George Smith)가 말했다.
1950년 이후로 12월은 S&amp;P 500 지수에 있어 두 번째로 좋은 달로, 평균 1.6%의 수익률을 기록했다. 오직 11월만이 더 나은 성과를 보였으며, 역사적인 평균은 1.8%이다.
스미스는 또한 12월 하반기가 이러한 상승폭의 대부분을 차지하며, 소위 &#8216;산타 랠리&#8217; 효과를 만들어낸다고 강조했다.
역사적으로 주식들은 월초에 정체되거나 약간 하락세를 보이다가, 12월 중순 경부터 상승세가 강화되고, 크리스마스가 다가오면서 가속화되는 경향이 있다. 데이터에 따르면 이러한 상승세는 12월의 11번째 거래일 근처에서 시작되어 크리스마스가 가까워질수록 빨라진다.
<h3>크리스마스 시즌 성과가 우수한 S&amp;P 500 주식 상위 10</h3>
산타 랠리를 활용하고자 하는 투자자들을 위해, 특정 주식들이 12월 하반기에 비상한 수익률을 기록해왔다.
지난 20년간의 데이터를 살펴본 결과, 12월 12일부터 31일까지 평균 수익률이 가장 높았던 S&amp;P 500 주식 상위 10은 다음과 같다:

산타 랠리: 12월 후반부에 우수한 성과를 거둔 S&P 500 주식 10종목

주식 시장 지수는 최근 몇 년간 사상 최고치를 기록했으며 S&amp;P 500은 조 바이든 대통령이 지난 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거의 4년 동안</a> 국가를 이끌었던 다른 해를 능가했다.
바이든이 취임하면서 모든 주식이 상승한 것은 아니며 투자자들은 2024년 선거가 다가올 때 앞으로 있을 일에 대비하기 위해 2021년 최악의 성과를 낸 주식을 되돌아보고 싶을 수도 있다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 바이든이 올해 초 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2024년 대통령 선거</a>에서 하차한다고 발표했다. 현 대통령이 재선되지 못하더라도, 민주당 대통령 하의 과거 성과는 카멀라 해리스가 다가오는 화요일 선거에서 승리할 경우 어떤 주식과 섹터가 승자가 될 수 있는지를 강조할 수 있다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>)가 추적하는 S&amp;P 500은 2021년에 26.9% 상승했다. 이는 2018년 이후 연간 최고 실적이자 지난 11년 동안 주요 주식 시장 지수 중 두 번째로 좋은 실적을 기록했다.
2020년 11월 3일, 바이든이 승리한 대선 이후 12개월 동안 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">S&amp;P 500 지수는 37.4% 상승</a>했다. 이는 수년 동안 한 대통령 하의 최고의 1년 시장 수익률이었다.
많은 주식들이 2021년에 상승했지만, 모든 상장 회사들이 긍정적인 수익률을 기록한 것은 아니다.
StatMuse의 <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보고서</a>에 따르면 2021년에 가장 실적이 저조했던 S&amp;P 500 주식 10개와 해당 섹터는 다음과 같다:
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.
아래는 2021년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 가장 성과가 저조했던 10개 주식과 그 섹터들입니다:
1. 라스베이거스 샌즈 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, 소비재/카지노 
2. 글로벌 페이먼츠 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, 금융 
3. 마켓 액세스 (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, 금융 
4. 비아트리스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, 헬스케어 
5. 윈 리조트 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, 소비재/카지노 
6. 워너 브라더스 디스커버리 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, 미디어/오락 
7. 팔란티어 테크놀로지스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, 기술 
8. 피델리티 내셔널 인포메이션 서비스 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): 금융 
9. 페이팔 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>): -20.7%, 금융 
10. 이리 인뎀니티 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, 보험
위의 결과는 2021년에 금융 섹터가 저조한 성과를 보였으며, 카지노 주식들이 여러 개 포함되어 있음을 보여준다.
The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list. Peak at the top<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24848823/10-worst-performing-s-p-500-stocks-of-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

투자자들에게 흥미로운 점은 백악관에 누가 있었는지에 따라 일부 주식의 상관관계가 있을 수 있다는 점이다.
윈 리조트는 2017년 트럼프 하에 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 4위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년 바이든 하에서는 저조한 성과를 보였다. 페이팔은 2017년 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 8위로 좋은 성과를 보였지만, 2021년에는 저조한 성과를 보였다.
위의 결과는 과거 결과와 민주당 리더십을 바탕으로 해리스가 대통령에 당선될 경우 금융주와 카지노 주식이 저조한 성과를 낼 수 있음을 보여줄 수 있다.
2024년 대선이 며칠도 채 남지 않은 시점에서, 투자자들은 트럼프나 해리스의 승리를 기준으로 포트폴리오를 조정하고 있을 가능성이 높다. 접전이 예상되는 대선에서 투자자들은 두 후보 하에서 혜택을 받을 수 있는 섹터를 살펴보는 것이 좋다.
프리덤 캐피털 마켓(Freedom Capital Markets)의 수석 글로벌 전략가 제이 우즈(Jay Woods)는 이전에 트럼프 또는 해리스가 2024년 선거에서 승리하는지 여부에 관계없이 이익을 얻을 수 있는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">일부 섹터 및 주식</a>을 벤징가와 공유했다.
우즈는 방산 주식과 사이버 보안 주식을 2024년 대선 전에 주목해야 할 주요 섹터로 언급했다.
우즈는 방산 부문에 대해 &#8220;이 부문을 면밀히 관찰해야 한다고 생각한다&#8221;고 말했다.
그는 방산 주식이 지정학적 우려와 세계의 많은 불리한 사건들로 인해 계속 혜택을 받을 수 있다고 덧붙였다.

바이든 대통령 첫 해에 S&P 500 최악의 실적 10종목: 2024년 해리스 당선시 추세가 지속?

페이팔 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>)가 10월 29일 화요일에 3분기 실적을 발표할 준비를 하고 있는 가운데 투자자들은 이익 둔화와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/payments" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">증가하는 경쟁 속</a>에서 거래량을 유지하는 데 어려움을 걱정하고 있는 상황이다.
애널리스트들이 예상한 바에 따르면, 이 회사는 주당 순이익(EPS)이 약 1.07달러로 작년 대비 17.7% 감소할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 신중하게 접근할 필요가 있다.
그러나 매출은 작년 대비 6.6% 증가한 78.9억 달러로 예상되고 있다. 이러한 예측은 진화하는 디지털 결제 추세와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">인공지능(AI) 도구</a>를 사용하여 비즈니스 전략을 재조정해야 하는 필요성에 맞서 페이팔이 균형을 유지하는 방식을 강조한다.
EPS 감소는 또한 AI 업그레이드와 페이팔의 &#8216;선구매 후결제(BNPL)&#8217; 모델을 지원하기 위한 추가 인프라 필요성에서 오는 비용 압박이 강화된 것을 반영한다. 이러한 움직임은 전략적이지만 캘리포니아 산호세에 본사를 둔 이 회사의 영업 마진을 압박했다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41584816/are-small-caps-poised-to-lead-the-market-experts-weigh-pros-cons">소형주가 시장을 주도할 준비가 되어 있을까? 전문가들이 장단점을 평가</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">치열해지는 경쟁</h2>
또 다른 시급한 문제는 새로운 CEO인 알렉스 크리스(Alex Chriss)가 이끄는 페이팔이 경쟁사에 비해 고객 충성도를 확보하고 거래량을 유지할 수 있는지 여부이다.
<ul>
<li>애플, 이제는 피어 투 피어/<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/09/40731875/paypal-ventures-into-in-person-payments-with-apple-pay-integration-and-cashback-rewards">비접촉 결제 옵션</a>을 제공한다.</li>
<li>캐시 앱(Cash App)과 스퀘어(Square) — 둘 다 블록(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SQ#NYSE">SQ</a>) 소속이다.</li>

</ul>
이러한 도전에도 불구하고, 한 가지 긍정적인 점은 페이팔의 &#8220;페이 인(Pay in) 4&#8221; 서비스가 젊은 층에서 분기별 사용량이 <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/brc/article/pay-later-user-demographic-breakdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">증가</a>하면서 주목을 받고 있다는 것입니다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">페이팔 애널리스트들은 상승 가능성을 전망</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/09/41089647/paypal-soars-to-new-heights-why-analysts-see-more-upside">애널리스트들</a>은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36864744/paypal-cuts-9-of-staff-in-efficiency-drive">일련의 해고</a>로 한 해를 시작한 후 페이팔의 매출 성장 궤적에 대해 낙관하고 있다. 이 회사는 또한 생성 AI 도구와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41038635/paypal-steps-up-crypto-game-allows-us-merchants-to-buy-sell-and-hold-digital-assets">암호화폐 거래</a> 분야에서도 발전을 이루었다.
또한 페이팔의 최근 신흥 시장으로의 확장은 특히 <a href="https://investor.pypl.com/news-and-events/news-details/2023/PayPal-Announces-Investments-to-Advance-Economic-Empowerment-for-Women-and-Girls/default.aspx">동남아시아</a>에서 모바일 결제 성장이 계속해서 급증하고 있어 글로벌 입지를 넓혔다.
또한 최근에는 팍소스(Paxos)에서 발행한 스테이블 코인인 페이팔 USD(CRYPTO:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/pyusd-usd" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for PYUSD/USD" data-google-interstitial="false">PYUSD</a>)와 아디옌(Adyen), 파이서브(Fiserv) 및 글로벌 페이먼츠(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/gpn" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for GPN" data-google-interstitial="false">GPN</a>)라는 세 가지 파트너십이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/09/34773903/paypal-races-ahead-venmo-users-get-access-to-pyusd">출시</a>되었다.
페이팔이 매출 목표를 성공적으로 달성한다면 수익성 압박에도 불구하고 전략적 움직임이 결실을 맺고 있다는 신호일 수 있다.
주가 움직임: 페이팔의 주식은 월요일에 2.46% 상승하여 85.65달러에 거래되었다. 주식은 지난 1년 동안 63.74% 상승했으며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/10/41584967/paypal-bulls-stand-firm-will-q3-earnings-trigger-a-pullback">올해 들어서만 36%</a> 상승했다.

페이팔, 3분기 실적 준비 중: 애플, 블록과 잠재적인 X와의 경쟁에도 낙관적인 분석가들

이들 10개 대형주는 지난주 최악의 성과를 거두었다. 그것들이 당신의 포트폴리오에 있나요?
1. 서밋 테라퓨틱스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMMT#NASDAQ">SMMT</a>)의 주가는 씨티그룹이 주식을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/smmt/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">매수에서 중립으로 하향 조정</a>했으나 목표 주가를 19달러에서 23달러로 상향 조정한 후 14.37% 하락했다.

리제네론과 슈퍼 마이크로는 지난주 최악의 성과를 보인 10개 대형주 중 일부 (9월 23일-9월 27일)

미국 주식시장은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/08/40223986/traders-resume-yen-dollar-carry-trade-as-bank-of-japan-pledges-no-rate-hikes-during-market-volatilit" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">일본은행(BOJ)</a>의 비둘기파적인 발언으로 인한 화요일 반등세를 이어가지 못하고 수요일 하락세로 마감했다.
S&amp;P 500 지수는 0.8% 하락했고 나스닥 지수는 1.2% 빠졌으며 다우존스 지수는 234포인트(0.6%) 하락했다.
iShares Russell 2000 ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>)가 추적한 소형주는 투자자들이 미국 경제 전망을 계속 평가함에 따라 1.4% 하락하여 가장 큰 타격을 입었다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">수요일 월가의 하락의 원인은?</h3>
투자자들은 10년 만기 미국 국채 경매에 큰 관심을 보이지 않았으며, 그 결과 수익률이 3.9%로, 경매 전 예상보다 상당히 높은 수준에 도달했다.
이보다 약한 수요는 최근 랠리가 정점을 찍었을 가능성을 시사한다. 또한, 블룸버그 데이터에 따르면 17개의 주요 기업이 총 318억 달러의 부채를 발행했으며, 이는 올해 미국 투자 등급 발행량 중 최대 규모이다.
투자자들은 여전히 9월에 연방준비제도(연준)가 50bp(베이시스포인트)의 금리 인하를 단행할 것이라는 기대를 가지고 있으며, 올해 총 100bp 이상의 금리 인하를 예상하고 있다.
시장 예상 확률에 따르면, 9월에 50bp 금리 인하가 이루어질 확률은 약 70%로, 화요일의 68%에서 소폭 상승했다.
CME 그룹의 페드워치(FedWatch) 도구에 따르면, 트레이더들은 연말까지 연방기금금리가 4.25-4.5% 범위에 있을 확률을 거의 60%로 보고 있으며, 나머지 40%는 4%-4.25% 범위에 있을 확률로 보고 있다.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">수요일 마감시 주요 움직임</h3>
