If you believe HOOD can sustain 50%+ revenue growth while keeping margins near current levels, then holding or owning HOOD can make sense despite the premium because the operating momentum is stronger than PYPL’s; otherwise, PYPL offers the cheaper valuation and cleaner leverage profile.
HOOD trades at a large premium to PYPL on both earnings and sales bases, with the implied P/E valuation suggesting substantial downside versus the current price. However, HOOD also sits near the upper end of its historical band, so the market is already pricing in a good deal of optimism.
