PayPal's Weaker Q2, Full-Year Guidance Reinforce Lack of Operating Inflection, BofA Says
PayPal's (PYPL) Q1 results topped estimates, with upside partially driven by share repurchases, but weaker-than-expected Q2 guidance and the decision to reiterate full-year guidance suggest no clear operating inflection, BofA Securities said Wednesday.Management reiterated confidence in PayPal's two-sided network, global scale and brands, while outlining more than $1.5 billion in run-rate cost savings over the next two to three years as part of a broader reset, according to the note.Investor reaction was tempered by a weaker near-term outlook for Q2 and fiscal 2026, the reinvestment of most savings rather than near-term earnings upside, and confirmation that business resegmentation will not begin until next year, the brokerage said.BofA updated its price objective to $53 from $55, based on a 9x multiple of its revised adjusted second-12-month earnings per share estimate of $5.86, up from $5.46.BofA maintained a neutral rating on PayPal.Price: $46.74, Change: $+0.26, Percent Change: +0.56%
Research Alert: CFRA Lifts View On Shares Of H.f. Sinclair To Buy From Hold
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Our 12-month target price of $87, raised $31, reflects a combination of relative valuation and DCF models. On a relative basis, we apply a 7.0x multiple of enterprise value to projected 2027 EBITDA. The applied multiple is above DINO's historical forward average, but below peers. We think a modest discount to peers is reasonable on the basis of below-average return on invested capital. Still, a multiple above normal levels for DINO is also reasonable, because we think refining margins will be high in both 2026 and 2027. This approach yields a value of $85 per share. Meanwhile, our DCF model, using medium-term free cash flow growth of 5%, 2% terminal growth, discounted at a WACC of 7.2%, yields intrinsic value of $89 per share. We lift our 2026 EPS estimate by $2.87 to $7.30 and 2027's by $1.66 to $6.26. In our view, DINO has above-average exposure to middle distillates, which is where we think refining margins will be relatively stronger. Shares yield 2.8%.
