Among this unfortunate group is fintech leader PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL), whose stock is down roughly 41% over the past six months. High-growth tech stocks have been getting hammered in recent months, thanks to heightened economic uncertainty caused by soaring inflation, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and tightening monetary policy. Investors who decide to cash out of PayPal now because of its poor recent price performance are likely missing out on continued market-beating returns in the future.
