PayPal (PYPL, Financial) continued to disproportionately benefit from the behavioral shifts occurring due to COVID-19. Revenue growth accelerated to +22% as PayPal helped enable record levels of daily e-commerce transaction volume in the U.S. and across international borders. New users are signing up with PayPal at a record pace while transacting more frequently than previous users as lockdowns have funneled consumer spending online. We continue to think PayPal's addressable market is as open-ended as e-commerce and expect several more years of exceptional growth driven by its large user base (approaching 350 million) and merchant base of over 25 million.
