Last May 26 the Ark Invest founder Cathie Woodhe added to his background Ark Fintech Innovation ETF 100,167 shares of PayPal Holdings valued at $6.2 million at the close of that day and up 2.3% for the year to May 31 according to Dan Weil on The Street.
The action has been plummeted 80% from its July 2021 high, to $62although it has recovered 9.2% in the last six months. In May fell 7.3%. The decline was largely due to the intense competition that PayPal faces from companies like Block Rg-A, Mastercard Rg-A and Rg-A Visa.
Given its long-term decline, Wood likely saw PayPal stock as a bargain buy.
She’s not at much risk. PayPal is only 29th out of Ark Fintech’s 35 and represents 1.03% of the portfolio.
He Morningstar analyst Brett Horn, shares Wood’s optimism. “PayPal registered a Good beginning of the year” he wrote after the company’s first-quarter earnings report. “The key positive was the modest acceleration of PayPal brand volume growth“.
