In the Q4 2020 Investor Letter, Wedgewood Partners highlighted a few stocks and Paypal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) is one of them. Paypal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) operates an online payments system in majority of countries that supports online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. In the last three months, Paypal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock gained 19.2% and on January 14th it had a closing price of $242.06. Here is what Wedgewood Partners said:
“PayPal continued its torrid pace of payment volume growth, up +38% during the quarter, driven by over 15 million new accounts (almost double the pre-pandemic rate) and continued increases in transactions per account. This led to +25% growth in revenue and hefty margin expansion as the Company continues to effectively leverage its fixed cost base. PayPal’s addressable market continues to be a multitrillion dollar opportunity, with the Company particularly focused on the faster growing and more lucrative e-Commerce channel.”
