Jim Cramer’s Game Plan: 15 Stocks in Focus

2. PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 90

Cramer mentioned that PayPal Holdings, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:PYPL) CEO will be able to return the company to its glory.

“Tuesday’s jam-packed. Alright, now we start the morning with PayPal and Spotify, both of which could have terrific numbers. PayPal’s now being captained by Alex Chriss. I think he’s returning the company to solid growth mode. Now, PayPal used to be the king of digital mobile payments at one point, but then it fell in hard times as it frantically tried to play catch up to the buy now pay later crowd. I believe Chriss can restore the growth rate and the luster because PayPal serves as the digital wallet that often is the first interaction that young people have with the payment system.”

PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) is a prominent technology platform that enables digital payments for consumers and businesses alike. During an episode of Squawk on the Street in December 2024, Cramer mentioned the company, as discussed in our article Jim Cramer Just Discussed These 13 Stocks, and said:

“Well, I was going to give you one that, that David introduced me to, that is, I’m crowning the new king of fintech, Paypal. Breaking out here. No, no, Barclays just joined this and pattern says basically this is better than all the others. And I think, PayPal spewing cash, this guy Alex Chriss is doing a terrific job of, February meeting, everybody will know it then. Kind of like when Marvell, everyone should have known, when Matt Murphy goes and buys a million dollars worth it’s not idle… I just pointed out PayPal because I think it has much higher to go.”
