Adverse eBay outcome

PYPL fell ~11% a/h on news that it will lose its eBay merchant of record (MoR) and processing contract after its agreement expires in 2020. Our initial estimate is that the changes could see a low to mid-teens impact on 2021 EPS, all else equal. PYPL argued its medium term guidance can absorb this and highlighted it now has greater flexibility to work with other marketplaces, but the a/h reaction looks appropriate to us given the EPS impact. Elsewhere, PYPL's momentum remains impressive.
