PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. $34 – Nasdaq symbol PYPL

PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. $34 (Nasdaq symbol PYPL; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Finance sector; Shares outstanding: 1.2 billion; Market cap: $40.8 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 4.7; No dividends paid; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www. paypal.com) stopped processing transactions on U.S. online gambling websites following its 2002 acquisition by eBay.

But now that it’s an independent company again, PayPal is testing its online payment system with four U.S. gaming firms, including Caesar’s Entertainment. Online gambling could become a big source of revenue for PayPal, particularly if more states approve it. Right now, Internet gambling is only legal in Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware.

PayPal is a hold.
