The Motley Fool· 2025-04-29 11:22
Core Viewpoint - The S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indexes have rebounded from their lows, but some stocks remain in bear market territory, presenting potential long-term investment opportunities [1][2]. Group 1: Starbucks (SBUX) - Starbucks has shown early signs of recovery under CEO Brian Niccol's "Back to Starbucks" plan, with improvements in customer-related metrics despite a year-over-year decline in comparable store sales [4][5]. - The stock trades at approximately 27 times earnings, with operating margins temporarily squeezed due to investments in Niccol's initiatives, which could lead to significant returns for patient investors if the turnaround continues [5]. Group 2: PayPal (PYPL) - PayPal's growth stalled post-COVID-19, leading to a complete leadership overhaul, with new CEO Alex Chriss focusing on efficiency and growth initiatives [6][8]. - The company anticipates 20% or greater annual earnings growth in the long term, driven by monetization opportunities for Venmo and expansion in the offline payment market, despite currently trading at 123 times forward earnings [8]. Group 3: SoFi Technologies (SOFI) - SoFi's stock is down nearly 30% from its January high, but the company has experienced a 34% growth in its user base and 26% revenue growth in 2024, marking its first full year of profitability [9][10]. - There is significant potential for cross-selling products to its growing customer base, as the average SoFi customer currently holds fewer than 1.5 products, which could enhance customer relationships and strengthen its ecosystem [11].

Upstart Stock Plunges 20% in a Month: Should You Hold or Exit?
ZACKS· 2025-04-24 13:25
Core Viewpoint - Upstart Holdings, Inc. (UPST) has experienced a significant decline in stock price, dropping 20% over the past month, which raises questions about whether investors should hold or exit the stock. Despite near-term challenges, the long-term growth potential of Upstart remains strong, suggesting that holding the stock may be advisable [1][8]. Market Context - The recent decline in Upstart Holdings' stock is attributed more to broader market weaknesses rather than specific company issues. A tech sell-off driven by fears of a global economic slowdown and trade tensions has negatively impacted high-growth stocks, including UPST [2]. Valuation Insights - Upstart Holdings is currently trading at a forward 12-month price/sales (P/S) multiple of 3.73X, which is higher than the industry average of 3.2X. Compared to major fintech competitors, UPST trades at a premium to LendingClub (1.19X) and Enova International (0.76X), but at a discount to SoFi Technologies (3.79X) [3][6]. Stock Performance - Shares of Upstart Holdings have decreased by 54.4% from their 52-week high of $96.43, reached on February 13. Year-to-date, the stock is down 28.6%, contrasting with a 36.7% gain at its peak in February [7]. Operational Performance - Upstart Holdings reported a 56% year-over-year increase in net revenues, reaching $219 million, and a 30% year-over-year increase in revenue from fees, totaling $199 million. Loan origination volume surged by 89% year-over-year, with 246,000 loan transactions, including 162,000 new borrowers [15][16]. Technological Advancements - The company utilizes AI and machine learning to assess creditworthiness, moving beyond traditional FICO scores. In Q4 2024, 91% of loans were fully automated, enhancing efficiency and competitiveness in the personal lending market [9][10]. The introduction of advanced AI models, such as Model 19, has improved risk assessment and loan performance predictions [12][13]. Future Growth Potential - Upstart Holdings is expanding into auto lending, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and small-dollar relief loans, with significant growth reported in these areas. Auto originations and HELOCs both grew by 60%, while small-dollar loans surged by 115% quarter-over-quarter [11]. Financial Strength - The company achieved adjusted EBITDA of $39 million and is close to GAAP profitability, with a net loss of only $2.8 million. The non-GAAP EPS improved to 29 cents, a significant turnaround from previous losses [17][18]. Revenue growth guidance for 2025 indicates a continued upward trajectory, with a projected 59% increase [19].
