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%
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%.
