Where PayPal is Going?

During the pandemic PayPal thrived and its annual revenue increased from $17.5B in 2019 to $25B in 2021. After the end of pandemic, people started to go out and use more cash for purchases. Also its long term agreement with eBay ended in 2020. These factors led to its share price decline from $290 in September 2021 to $75. Although the company is still financially strong with market capitalisation of $84B and EBITDA of $5B, it’s uncertain if it can keep growing,

Prove me wrong: It'd be a huge mistake not to hold stocks for the long term because of AI

  • Companies can save exponentially more money with AI.
  • For example, as a company, you used to have to pay $85/hr and a total of 10 hours ($850 total) to write a good blog post for marketing. With LLMs (large language models), you can generate an article and ask your writer to spend one hour editing it. The cost to produce a similar quality of a blog post went from $850 to $85 and the speed to produce it went from 2 days to 1 hour.
Does the stock market of countries with stagnant or declining populations outperform the bond market over time?
