PayPal Holdings Inc.’s stock has received a downgrade as the company’s earnings growth becomes increasingly difficult to envision. According to analyst Kazuya Nishimura, PayPal will need to demonstrate clear growth in transaction-margin dollars and show the benefits of its investments before it can achieve bottom line growth. Nishimura downgraded the stock to neutral and lowered the price target. Despite believing in the potential for earnings upside, he lacks conviction to factor in sharp upside at this stage. The stock’s bullish sentiment among Wall Street analysts has also been decreasing.
