Year over year, PYPL is up 53.2%.

BofA Global Research also downgraded Sofi Technologies stock to "underperform" from "neutral," pushing shares 1.8% lower to $15.74 at last glance. The brokerage said SOFI is "priced to perfection" following a massive rally. Over the last three months, the security added 123.8%, and it now stands 58.2% higher on the year.
