Long-term investing can be especially difficult when the broader market leaves a stock you own in the dust. That's been the story for investors in PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) over the past five years. The S 500 has doubled in value, while PayPal has matched that with a pitiful 50% decline.
But just because the past was ugly doesn't mean the future can't be bright. Investors would be wise to look closely at PayPal and where its business is heading. New leadership is beginning to show signs of innovation within the company, and the stock is so cheap that even moderate success could launch shares to spectacular investment returns.
It's not always easy to buy the stock others don't want, but there are good reasons to consider owning PayPal today. Here they are.
