Looking At PayPal Holdings's Recent Unusual Options Activity

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<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">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<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">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
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.
<ol>
<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Global Payments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, financials</li>
<li>Market Axess (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, financials</li>
<li>Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, health care</li>
<li>Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, media/entertainment</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, technology</li>

<li>Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, insurance</li>
</ol>
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"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<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">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.

PayPal Holdings shares are trading lower after Phillip Securities downgraded the stock from Buy to Accumulate.

PayPal Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NYSE">PYPL</a>) short percent of float has risen 4.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 24.22 million shares sold short, which is 2.37% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.84 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. 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>PayPal Holdings Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730478613_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PayPal Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.50%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Canaccord Genuity: "Q3 marked another solid quarter of progress in PayPal's business realignment with new CEO Alex Chriss at the helm now for about a year," Vafi wrote in a note. While margins at Braintree improved, this is coming with some contracts being negotiated down in overall volumes, which is a headwind to the top line, he added.
Management is focusing on finetuning PayPal's entire product portfolio, "including a new strategy for pricing unbranded checkout, a more streamlined branded checkout experience, expanding TAM beyond ecommerce, and more monetization for Venmo," the analyst stated. These initiatives could generate "profitable payment volume moving forward," he further wrote.
Goldman Sachs: PayPal's third-quarter results were broadly in-line with investor expectations, against "a higher bar than in prior quarters," Nance said. While there were concerns around commentary for 2025 transaction margins, this seems "a bit overly negative," he added.
The company's new management team is trying to set achievable guidance, rather than setting the stage for a steep deceleration, the analyst stated. "PYPL will likely sustain low teens EPS growth with a strong capital return component and a net cash balance sheet, and mgmt is executing well against numerous self-help initiatives," he further wrote.
BMO Capital Markets: PayPal continues to revamp the branded checkout experience, across both desktop and mobile, and improve conversion rates, Hone said. While Braintree "again contributed meaningfully," the company expects the "ongoing price-to-value efforts" to dampen the segment's volumes and revenues in the fourth quarter and 2025, "before accelerating thereafter," he added.
"PYPL&#8217;s initial 2025 guidance implies underlying momentum in the business; however, we want to see evidence that Branded Checkout TM$ growth can accelerate meaningfully before getting more constructive," the analyst further stated.
RBC Capital Markets: Adjusted earnings came in at $1.20 per share, beating consensus of $1.07 per share, Perlin said in a note. Total payment volume rose 9% year-on-year to $423 billion, also surpassing expectations of $421 billion, he added.
&nbsp;"4Q24 guidance is for revenue growth in the low-single digits, which implies ~$8.2B of revenue, which management called out was a direct result of Braintree's merchant negotiations and ongoing efforts to drive profitable growth," the analyst wrote. Management also projected earnings to decline in the low- to mid-single digits, he further stated.
Morgan Stanley: The stock tanked on management guidance that calls for core transaction margin dollar growth of around 4% in 2025, Faucette said.
"Expect meaningful acceleration in Branded and Venmo, along with Fastlane contribution, will take time to realize and is largely priced in at current valuation," the analyst wrote.
Needham: PayPal's revenues rose 5.8% year-on-year to $7.85 billion, missing consensus of $7.88 billion, while its total payment volume surged 9% to $422.6 billion, beating the Street's $422.5 billion expectation, Tandon said. The company ended the quarter with 432 million active accounts, up both sequentially and year-on-year, due to both merchant and consumer account growth, he added.
Management issued a mixed guidance for the fourth quarter but raised full-year projections, which calls for an acceleration in earnings growth, the analyst stated. The softer-than-expected guidance for the fourth quarter assumes "ongoing revenue headwinds as the company renegotiates Braintree merchant agreements to drive LT profitable growth," he further wrote.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: PayPal's results were "generally good," with important parameters being in-line with or better than expected, Markgraff said.
"The positive results were tempered by commentary surrounding the product ramp (branded, Fastlane in particular) and an initial model framework for 2025, in our view," the analyst wrote. While PayPal is making progress in platform transformation, there needs to be "an indication of success against important product initiatives" to turn positive on the stock, he added.
Price Action: Shares of PayPal had declined by 1.53% to $79.05 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Wall Street took a breather on Tuesday, with most major indices treading water, while tech stocks saw gains as investors braced for earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41579487/amd-q3-earnings-preview-can-ai-server-gains-help-narrow-the-semiconductor-gap-with-">reports from mega-cap companies.</a>
The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.7%, buoyed by anticipation around upcoming earnings from Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), both set to report after market close.
Elsewhere, the S&amp;P 500 was largely unchanged, the Dow Jones dipped slightly, and small-cap stocks underperformed.
In economic news, U.S. job openings dropped by 418,000 to 7.443 million in September 2024 — marking the lowest level since January 2021 and falling short of the market's expectation of 7.99 million.
The Conference Board&#8217;s Consumer Confidence Index surged, posting its largest monthly gain since March 2021. This suggests that while labor demand may be slowing, consumer sentiment remains robust.
Treasury yields continued to climb during concerns over the U.S. budget deficit and political uncertainty ahead of next week's elections. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 4.33%, the highest level since early July.
Notably, gold prices remained resilient, with the precious metal breaking above the all-time high of $2,770 per ounce as investors sought a hard asset amid fiscal concerns.
The crypto market also saw notable gains. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose nearly 4% to reach $72,700, nearing its record high of $73,697 set in March. Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) continued its momentum with a 10% rally on Tuesday, following an 11% surge on Monday.
