The article discusses four high-growth companies—Palantir Technologies, Airbnb, Sea Limited, and PayPal Holdings—that have the potential to reach a trillion-dollar market cap by 2040, joining the ranks of Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. Each company has unique strengths and growth opportunities in their respective sectors, from AI-driven data mining and travel disruption to digital financial services and e-commerce.
The Nasdaq 100 index, known for its tech-heavy composition, includes undervalued stocks such as PayPal Holdings (PYPL), The Trade Desk (TTD), and Texas Instruments (TXN). Despite strong financial results, PayPal's weak forward guidance led to a stock price drop, while The Trade Desk's revenue guidance fell short of expectations. Texas Instruments faces challenges in the semiconductor market but offers a low valuation and a strong dividend yield.
PayPal Holdings reported its full year 2023 earnings, with revenue reaching US$29.8 billion, a 8.2% increase from the previous year, and net income rising to US$4.25 billion, a 76% increase. The company's profit margin also improved to 14%. Earnings per share (EPS) surpassed analyst estimates by 3.9%, and future revenue growth is forecasted at 7.0% per year on average for the next 3 years. Despite a 9.5% decrease in share value over the past week, the company's balance sheet health and valuation remain important factors to consider.
Despite concerns about the stock market in October, there are three stocks that are considered attractive buys. Bank of America, with its solid balance sheet and booming business, is attractively valued and a favorite of Warren Buffett. PayPal Holdings, although down for the year, has strong growth prospects in e-commerce and digital payments, and its valuation doesn't reflect its potential. Vertex Pharmaceuticals, known for its cystic fibrosis franchise, has a monopoly in treating the disease and has promising prospects in other areas such as rare blood disorders and kidney disease. The stock's valuation is considered very attractive.
