Payment stocks slump amid COVID worries, regulatory outlook
Payment stocks are taking a hit from renewed COVID fears and due to possible regulatory changes after Jerome Powell is nominated for a second term, Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev said.
"It's kind of like a perfect storm for some of these [payment] names," he told Bloomberg News in an interview.
$DLocal (DLO.US)$, which went public through an IPO in June, dropped 13%, and$Blend Labs (BLND.US)$, which started trading in July after its IPO slid 6.7%, reaching a post-IPO low.
Fintechs, too, weren't spared, with$Block (SQ.US)$falling 6.1%,$Robinhood (HOOD.US)$off 4.0%, and$PayPal (PYPL.US)$down 2.1%. PyPal hit a 52-week low earlier in the session. Those could also be hurt by the 6.3% drop in$Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$, since all three have businesses that generate revenue from the world's largest cryptocurrency.

Yes, for V - earnings next year from earnings call in July (V was $252 then), will be in the teens, investors thought it would be in the 20's, DOJ investigation (yes, another one), Amazon in UK is playing hardball, emotions and fears of Amzn doing the same in the USA, open banking on the horizon. None of these are legit and amount to peanuts. I bought even more on Friday at $200.

Agreed. Just noise IMO. In two years, no one will even remember all these conversations. And Visa/MasterCard will continue to make big money.

Not at all, for some holders. Those happy ones are long term holders, who have been buying more parts of great companies are good prices.
