Solid start to the year

PayPal delivered another revenue and EPS beat and raised CY18 guidance, although the pace of growth in new accounts, TPV and revenue slightly decelerated from Q4. A $1.8bn buyback in Q1 was a positive surprise and management is confident the company can deliver margin expansion longer term. Nevertheless, we remain Neutral, seeing the stock as fully valued. Our $84 PT is 9% above the $77 after hours price and requires a 28x non-GAAP PE in a year's time at a 1.5x PEG.
