Paypal down sharply

It was a big loss for the payments company PayPal in extended trade late last night on the IG platform, down 13% after the company cut its annual revenue growth forecast.

Let's take a look at the figures. It posted an adjusted profit of $1.08 per share for the third quarter (Q3). Now, that was higher than the $0.96 expected and revenue coming in pretty much in line with the estimates.

The PayPal boss, Daniel Schulman, said in a statement that he expected e-commerce to be pretty muted in the fourth quarter and in anticipation of a broader economic downturn, the group cut its adjusted growth outlook to 10% from 11% previously for the year, and this made itself felt on the share price.

Paypal share price

Let's take a look at what's been happening.

This is the long-term picture for PayPal shares. You can see from the Covid lows it appreciated some 279% as people spent more online using PayPal as a way to do that.

And then subsequent to that, there's been all sorts of problems for PayPal. And in fact, recently and indeed yesterday, we ended down at a point where we were 78% adrift from those record highs for PayPal.

You can see it extended trading today's session. We are up just a touch off of the lows. So some people see an opportunity to buy back into the stock.

But in fact, if you look at where we'll open on the cash trade when Wall Street gets under way today, it will be down and down by a significant margin because of the concerns about the outlook for the fourth quarter.

    • It’s interesting to see the excitement building around Legend of Arcadia, especially now that $ARCA is live on major CEXs with bullish momentum. The recent buzz could very well be tied to the bullish price upon listing and events like PoolX and CandyBomb on exchanges like Bitget, which usually bring more visibility and engagement. It’ll be worth watching to see if this momentum leads to wider GameFi adoption or if it’s just pre-launch hype.
    • In times of inflation, it's clear that traditional savings can lose value quickly, so looking for ways to protect or even grow your money becomes important. A lot of people naturally think of investing in assets like commodities or stocks, which are popular options, but there are other approaches that can help as well. One option is to explore side gigs or freelance work, where you can make money now rather than waiting for long-term investments to pay off. With inflation affecting costs, it can be helpful to have multiple streams of income.
    • Seems Bitget strategic partnership with Ton ecosystem is paying off as Bitget Wallet Lite mini, hits more than 6 million users in 3 days. On Oct. 31, the exchange announced the official launch of Bitget Wallet Lite, a multichain wallet integrated into Telegram, allowing users to buy, store and send crypto within the app. Few months ago, the exchange launches $20M TON ecosystem fund and also TON network secures $30M investment from Bitget and Foresight Ventures, this led the wallet to surpass Metamask in adoption rate. Some users have shown preference to the wallet as compared to Okx and Binance wallet, could it be the friendly nature or ease to connect Ton project? A recent study shows that the wallet impressive growth cut across emerging markets like Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, could it be the surge in Ton project that is responsible for this feat? The study also claims that the wallet support for over 100 blockchains, and a wide array of DApps, makes the wallet appealing to a global audience. It further claimed that the wallet support for DEX trading, including features like zero gas fees in certain transactions and instant trading modes could be responsible for the surge in users. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitget-wallet-telegram-6-million-users-three-days
