For instance, shares of PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ: PYPL) and Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) have fallen 76% and 77%, respectively. Runaway inflation and rising interest rates threaten to blunt corporate revenue growth and profitability, so many investors have responded by exiting the stock market. Unlike traditional payment processors, PayPal offers financial services to both merchants and consumers, meaning it has built trust on both sides of the transaction, supercharging the flywheel effect that powers its business.
