PYPL

PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock is down 1.5% at $53.95 at last check, after a downgrade from UBS to "neutral" from "buy," as well as a price-target cut to $67 from $107.

Shares earlier dropped to a six-year low of $53.44, and carry a more than 24% year-to-date deficit. What's more, the stock has been facing pressure at its 20-day moving average since late September.

There's still room for pessimism to build among the brokerage bunch, which would push shares even lower. Of the 34 analysts in coverage, 14 carried a tepid "hold" rating coming into today. Additionally, the 12-month consensus target price of $81.36 is a 50.8% premium to current levels, suggesting more price-target cuts and/or downgrades could be on their way.

How to collect 1 dividend check every day for LIFE

Did you know you could collect 1 dividend check every day the market is open? You could also do it starting with just $605! For me, I'm collecting 70 dividend checks every quarter…which averages around 1.1 dividend checks every business day. There's no trading behind this... no penny stocks or high-risk investments. All you do is buy and hold and you're set. There's no set up required either. If you start buying the dividend stocks I show you today... you could collect 1 dividend per day starting as early as this week. Click here for all the details.
