PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stocks surged over 2% pre-market following a Buy rating upgrade from BofA Securities, with a new price target of $103. The company’s turnaround efforts under new leadership have shown promising progress, with potential TP growth acceleration by 2025 and positive e-commerce spending trends during the holidays.
