10 Financials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

U.S. markets suffered a steep selloff Monday as President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs, extending last week&#8217;s losses and driving declines <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">across all major sectors</a>.

Why It Matters: The catalyst for Monday&#8217;s selloff was Trump&#8217;s announcement of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, plus an additional 20% tariff on Chinese goods. The Kobeissi Letter noted these increases would raise the U.S. average effective tariff to approximately 20%, levels not seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">since the Great Depression</a>.
Market strategist Tom Lee of Fundstrat suggested this week could mark the bottom for stocks in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44072005/tom-lee-sees-stocks-potentially-hitting-first-half-lows-this-week-bad-news-has-gotten-priced-in">first half of 2025</a>, noting &#8220;a lot of bad news has gotten priced in&#8221; and that retail sentiment has reached bearish levels comparable to fall 2022.
Wall Street remains divided on the tariffs&#8217; impact, with Peter Schiff warning of domestic economic harm while others like Anthony Pompliano pointed to Taiwan Semiconductor&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) $100 billion U.S. investment announcement as evidence tariffs might boost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">domestic manufacturing</a>.

Tech Sector Hammered As Trump's Tariff Plans Spark Market Selloff: Nvidia, ARM, Super Micro Lead Tech Bloodbath

Indian startup&nbsp;Mintoak, backed by global payments giant PayPal Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) has acquired fintech player&nbsp;Digiledge, marking&nbsp;the first acquisition in the&nbsp;country&#8217;s developing central bank digital&nbsp;currency space.

The Reserve Bank of India, India&#8217;s central bank,&nbsp;launched a pilot for the e-rupee, a digital counterpart&nbsp;to physical currency, in Dec. 2022.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell  has indicated that the U.S. <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43646173/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-dip-even-as-fed-chair-powell-says-no-to-cbdcs-analyst-says-btc-under-consolidation-but-next-big-move-could-be-likely">central bank won&#8217;t develop a central bank digital currency</a> under his watch during his testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.

10 Financials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stripe">Stripe</a> just pulled off a massive growth spurt, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/payments">the payments giants</a> should be paying attention. According to JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang, the private fintech powerhouse processed a staggering $1.4 trillion in volume last year, a 38% year-over-year jump that left competitors in the dust. 
For context, Huang highlights that Stripe's incremental volume growth alone &#8211; $400 billion &#8211; was more than a quarter of Visa Inc.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) combined growth and nearly twice the annual gross payment volume (GPV) of Block Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYZ#NYSE">XYZ</a>), Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) and Toast Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TOST#NYSE">TOST</a>) combined.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stripe's AI Play: The Payment Backbone Of OpenAI &amp; Anthropic</h2>
If AI is the future, Stripe is already its financial backbone. Huang points out that every AI company on the Forbes AI 50 that sells online &#8211; OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, Perplexity, and others &#8211; processes payments through Stripe. 
He notes that these AI firms are scaling at unprecedented speeds, with the top 100 AI startups on Stripe reaching $5 million in annualized revenue within 24 months, compared to 37 months for SaaS firms in 2018.
For investors seeking exposure to this AI-driven payments boom, Huang sees potential in publicly traded payment giants. The Global X FinTech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FINX#NYSE">FINX</a>) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>) hold stakes in key Stripe competitors like PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>), Block and Adyen NV (OTCOK:ADYEY).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stablecoins: The Next Big Payments Battleground</h2>
Huang also highlights Stripe's growing focus on Stablecoins, which took a leap forward with last month's acquisition of Bridge. Unlike past crypto hype cycles, Stripe sees real-world use cases: corporate treasury, remittances, and payments in low-card penetration markets. 
Huang notes that PayPal's $PYUSD stablecoin is already advancing in this space, raising the question of whether Stripe's move will accelerate adoption across the industry.
With Stripe increasingly competing against Adyen, PayPal's Braintree, and Fiserv Inc.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>) Carat, Huang sees a rapidly shifting payments landscape.
Investors should closely monitor how public fintech players respond—because Stripe's expansion isn't slowing down.

Needham Reiterates Hold on PayPal Holdingsto Hold

PayPal Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) has made several announcements and shared its growth strategy for the upcoming years, on its investor day on Tuesday attracting mixed response from analysts.
What Happened: Among other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43942860/paypal-eyes-double-digit-eps-growth-by-2027-teams-up-with-verifone-jp-morgan-more">important announcements,</a> the fintech giant introduced its latest merchant product, PayPal Open, a unified platform that provides businesses with a comprehensive range of checkout solutions, including PayPal, Venmo, Fastlane, and Pay Later options.
The company also renamed Braintree to PayPal Enterprise Payments as part of its rebranding. Additionally, PayPal revealed an enhanced sales partnership with point-of-sale terminal provider Verifone.
PayPal forecasted that its non-GAAP EPS will grow by a percentage in the low teens by 2027, with a long-term growth target of 20%. Additionally, the company anticipates transaction margin dollars to rise by high single digits by 2027 and exceed 10% growth in the long run.
In a regulatory filing, PayPal announced executive vice president and CFO, Jamie Miller, has been appointed to the expanded role of chief financial and operating officer.

Why It Matters: PayPal posted strong fourth-quarter results with consensus beating revenue and earnings. Its investor day announcements were awaited by investors who are watching the strategic moves of the company amid competition from Apple Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Apple Pay.
However, the announcements have received mixed reactions from analysts. Barclays analyst Ramsey El-Assal wrote in an investor note, "PayPal laid out a very compelling vision of the future, with the company set to pivot away from ‘payments' and into ‘commerce,'" reported MarketWatch. TD Cowen analyst Bryan Bergin rated the stock as &#8216;Hold&#8217; with a price target of $83. Bergin also called the fintech giant&#8217;s 2027 targets &#8216;ambitious&#8217;, as per Barrons.
Meanwhile, William Blair analyst Andrew Jeffrey suggested a cautious approach for investors citing competition from Apple Pay. He also wrote, "We have particularly low conviction that&nbsp;PayPal&nbsp;can drive a higher long-term transaction yield, creating a headwind to transaction dollar growth."
The PayPal stock soared nearly 25% over the past 12 months but declined 14.5% year-to-date, as per data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">BenzingaPro</a>.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for PayPal Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing PayPal Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, PayPal Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.97%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

PayPal Holdings Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

JP Morgan analyst Reginald L. Smith <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SHOP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintained an Overweight</a> rating on Shopify Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) after the company released its quarterly print Tuesday.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43622684/shopify-q4-earnings-31-revenue-surge-free-cash-flow-growth-gmv-hits-94-5-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fourth-quarter revenue</a> increased 31% versus Smith&#8217;s 26% and the Street&#8217;s 27% estimates, driven by a 7 pt acceleration in Merchant Solutions (primarily payments) revenue.
Gross margin contracted ~150bps from the prior year to 48.1%, a touch below Smith and the Street estimates (impacted by PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pypl#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>) revenue recognition change).
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43608591/taiwan-semiconductors-trillion-dollar-valuation-the-chipmaker-enabling-ai-boom" rel="noreferrer noopener">Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s Trillion-Dollar Valuation: The Chipmaker Enabling AI Boom</a>
GAAP operating expenses increased 15% to $887 million (32% of revenue), consistent with Smith and Street expectations of $879 million and $895 million and prior guidance (32%-33% of revenue).
The free cash flow margin of 21.7% was ~170bps ahead of Smith and Street&#8217;s guidance of 21%.
GMV increased 26%, consistent with a broader acceleration in payment volume. Total MRR of $178 million came below Smith and the Street&#8217;s $181 million and $182 million.
The attach rate was 2.98%, up 13bps, and ahead of Smith&#8217;s 2.91% and Street&#8217;s 2.94% estimates. The first-quarter guidance was solid but insufficient to support the current valuation.
Shopify guided to mid-20% revenue growth compared to Smith and Street&#8217;s 25% and low-20% gross profit growth versus Smith&#8217;s 24% and Street&#8217;s 23%.
That said, the guidance calls for low double-digit operating expense growth (about consistent with recent trends) and mid-teens free cash flow margin against Smith and Street&#8217;s 18%, which was towards the low end of investor expectations of ~20%.
Ultimately, guidance points to stability next quarter, which is reasonable considering Shopify delivers premium growth and solid profitability. However, Smith noted the expectations were for further free cash flow margin expansion or more substantial gross profit growth to justify the investment in operating expenses.&nbsp;&nbsp;
SHOP Price Action:&nbsp;Shopify stock is up 2.41% at $122.79 at the last check on Tuesday.
