Michael Burry buys 3.5% PayPal stake

Watch: Watch for upcoming PayPal Q1 guidance and any strategic updates from CEO Enrique Lores to gauge turnaround success and potential M&A catalysts.

Full analysis

Michael Burry opened a roughly 3.5% position in PayPal, seeing recent AI-driven sell-offs as technical rather than fundamental. He also holds Fiserv, Adobe, Autodesk, and Veeva Systems, with plans to add Salesforce. PayPal faces a down-to-neutral analyst trend and executive pressure after recent earnings misses and downgrades but benefits from investor interest amid a fragile tech sector. Insiders are selling, and institutional momentum is strong from funds like Citadel and Bridgewater.

Burry's buying signals confidence in PayPal despite bearish analyst revisions and insider selling, highlighting a potential undervaluation during sector weakness and execution concerns.
