PYPL US (Buy, TP: $80, +28%) PayPal Initiation - BUY: Life in the Fast Lane

Almost nine months in, new CEO Alex Chriss is looking to pivot PayPal to value (from price) and better leverage its unique two-sided (consumer/merchant) advantages it has over competitors such as Adyen, Stripe and even Apple Pay. The first evidence of this is Braintree’s more rational approach to pricing contract renewals – good for all in the market. Next we Deep dive into Fastlane, a new guest checkout; we look at how this can lift unbranded volume (first) and pricing (to follow). Other areas of better monetisation can follow over the next 6-12 months: Venmo (deposit capture), broader debit card adoption and Xoom, PayPal’s generally forgotten cross-border currency business (we comp with WISE).
