PayPal and Rocket Companies Boost Growth with Strategic Moves
PayPal and Rocket Companies have both been making strategic moves to boost their growth and market share. PayPal has enhanced its efficiency and launched an advertising platform, while Rocket Companies has acquired Redfin and plans to acquire Mr. Cooper.
PayPal's management has been focusing on improving efficiency and has introduced an advertising platform to drive growth. The company is valued at around 10 times its free cash flow, suggesting it might be undervalued by the market. PayPal's ambitious plans include unifying its platforms, better monetizing Venmo, and capturing a significant share of the in-person payments market, which is worth $200 billion annually.
Rocket Companies, on the other hand, has been expanding its services and market share through acquisitions. It recently bought Redfin and plans to acquire Mr. Cooper. The company generated a net revenue of $1.36 billion in Q2 2025, indicating continued activity in the $2 trillion mortgage origination market. Rocket Companies aims to create an all-in-one real estate platform to streamline transactions, focusing on the $2 trillion annual mortgage origination market and refinancing opportunities.
PayPal's confidence in its current valuation is evident in its expected free cash flow of $6 billion to $7 billion this year and its active stock buyback program. Meanwhile, Rocket Companies' expansion into real estate services is set to strengthen its position in the market. However, the average S&P 500 component's P/E ratio being about double the national average may suggest a potentially overvalued stock market today.
