The fintech giant outlined big plans for Venmo
PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock is up 3.5% in premarket trading, after the fintech company issued an upbeat 2027 margin growth outlook and reaffirmed its 2025 forecast. PayPal also laid out plans to drive $2 billion in revenue for Venmo by 2027, including boosting merchant adoption, retaining funds within the online payments platform, and encouraging in-store and online spending.
PYPL yesterday snapped a three-day losing streak, and is looking to add to its 27.2% year-over-year lead. The security has taken a breather after January's failed attempt to conquer its Dec. 9, two-year high of $93.66, but could today come one step closer to filling the 3.5% gap lower on Friday.
Today's potential rally comes as PYPL was drifting deeper into "oversold" territory, per its 14-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 21. A shift in analyst sentiment could keep the wind at the stock's back, too, as 22 of the 41 firms in coverage still rate it a tepid "hold" or worse.
Now looks like an great time to weigh in with options, with one specific strategy in mind. The equity's Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) sits at a 13 out of 100, making it a prime premium-selling candidate.
