Mizuho's Bullish Re-Rating On PayPal Had An Apple Connection - Read To Know

  • Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev's proprietary survey of PayPal Holdings, Inc's (NASDAQ:PYPL) Venmo and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) Apple Pay exhibited a "strong appetite" to tap to pay with Venmo if Apple opened up its near field communication to Venmo. 
  • Dolev estimates that tap-to-pay with Venmo could present a 10% total payment volume and 15%-20% sales upside given Venmo's high in-store take rates and its stored balance-driven funding mix.

  • Price Action: PYPL shares traded higher by 1.83% at $88.39 on the last check Tuesday.
