PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) still trades for a cheap valuation, is generating over $5 billion in annual free cash flow, has an excellent balance sheet, and is becoming a leaner, more efficient business. Its new management team has made some interesting moves in recent months, and it might take a while for that to be reflected in PayPal’s results. Here’s why I think the stock is a no-brainer buy in the meantime.
