CNBC's Wilfred Frost sat down with Paypal CEO Dan Schulman to talk about the payment company, growth potential in Asia, and more.

BTIG analyst Mark Palmer increased his price target on shares to PayPal Holdings Inc. to $114 from $95 on Monday on optimism for the company's ability to weather changes in its relationship with eBay Inc. [: ebay] and continue growing active accounts at a fast clip. Palmer's new target is the second highest listed on FactSet. "We believe PayPal is well positioned to continue to generate growth about twice that of its peer group, which justifies a premium multiple," Palmer wrote. He highlighted the company's active account additions of 13.8 million in the latest quarter, which included about 2.9 million that came via acquisitions. The metric was "well above" the recent norm of about 8 million to 9 million net new additions per quarter. PayPal's stock has gained 18% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has risen 3.2%.
PayPal and Venmo are both great services depending on what the customer wants. Here are the differences between the two popular money apps.

PayPal Holdings is trading at a new all-time high today. It's almost to 95 bucks a share and is just ITCHING to trade over $100. Since it's managed to hold $90 for several days, I think it almost certainly trades there in the next few weeks, unless we have some sort of systemic shock to the market place.
Investor worries over PayPal Holding's fading relationship with former parent eBay again may be easing. PayPal stock on Wednesday hit a 52-week high before pulling back.
Shares of PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock, like the broader market, have rallied sharply off the late December 2018 lows. Unlike the broader market, though, this stock is breaking to fresh all-time highs and looks to continue its upside trajectory.As much as the stock market as a whole has largely traded in tandem over the past few months, i.e. up-days saw most stocks lift while down-days saw most stocks sell off, as I look deeper into 2019 I think this will be much more or a stock picker's market. Yes, we will see awesome and tradeable swings in the broader stock indices in 2019 I believe, but we will also see more separation between stocks that are in true growth phases versus others that are more exposed to the business cycle.Online payment systems such as those services that PayPal provide, in my eye, remain in a raging bull market from a business perspective. While a general economic slowdown will ultimately affect just about every corner of the economy, stocks in a true industry growth phases should at the margin weather an economic slowdown better than most stocks.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips PYPL Stock Charts Click to EnlargeMoving averages legend: red - 200 week, blue - 100 week, yellow - 50 weekFor some perspective, let's head over to the charts, starting off with a multiyear look at PYPL stock. Here we see that although the stock has seen a sharp rally of late, it really hasn't done much since July of 2018, directionally speaking. In fact, the stock has largely oscillated back and forth, likely frustrating most "breakout chart-chasers" to the point where they have now given up. * Buy These 5 Stocks to Play the Megatrend of the Century In fact, one could go back as far as early 2018 and say that PYPL stock has mostly consolidated sideways since then. Given the recent rally, however, to yours truly the odds of a break higher are now better than they have been in the past year or so for this name. Click to EnlargeMoving averages legend: red - 200 day, blue - 100 day, yellow - 50 dayOn the daily chart, we see that despite the choppy going, PYPL stock has since May 2018 made a series of higher lows -- see the red arrows on the chart. On Jan. 31, the stock dropped after its earnings report but quickly flashed exhaustion selling and a few days later my proprietary indicator signaled a B2 Reversal buy.On Feb. 12, my indicators flashed another buy signal with a next upside target at $100.

Square (NYSE:SQ) has outperformed the stock market and most other names since tech stocks' Christmas Eve lows. Square stock is up more than 40% from its lows and is now consolidating nicely near $70 per share.Square is far from perfect, though. The stock is much more volatile than the broader market and is susceptible to large moves in both directions. With the market teetering on a potential pullback ( it has risen some 15% from its December lows and is rapidly moving towards its 200-day moving average), Square stock could either be a pillar of strength or a weak link in the chain. Source: Chris Harrison via Flickr (Modified)If investors eliminate their emotions and rely on unbiased logic, they have a chance to profit from SQ stock. So let's look at the charts a bit before diving into a wider overview of Square stock.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 10 Best Dividend Stocks to Buy for the Next 10 Months Trading Square StockSQ is holding up relatively well, particularly with the overall markets under some pressure after a big, multi-week rally. So far, SQ stock is staying above its 200-day moving average, which is near $69. This appears to be a rather key level when it comes to Square stock. The 200-day was resistance about a month ago, but once Square pushed through the 200-day, this level became support.Furthermore, short-term, uptrend support (depicted by the blue line on the chart above) comes into play around $69 as well and follows the 200-day moving average pretty closely. On a slightly deeper pullback, the risk/reward of Square stock would be solid for bulls.For bulls who are already long, a close below this area gives them a way to reduce their risk. If Square stock temporarily breaks below $69 and recovers in the same day, I would be much more likely to consider taking a long position in Square stock. That scenario would signify that the support of Square stock temporarily gave way, and that bulls responded by buying the shares with enough force to get them back over the key level of $69.So what happens if SQ falls below $69? If that happens, $65 is on the table. That's about the level where trend support (depicted by the black line) and the 50-day moving average come into play. If $69 holds, becoming support, look to see if Square stock moves over $72 to $72.50. That area is both short-term, downtrend resistance and the 100-day-moving average. If Square stock climbs above $72.50, it could retest its recent highs near $78.Know your levels and let the price action guide your actions. Don't fight what the stock price is doing. The Bottom Line on SQ StockSquare is not cheap and never really has been. However, investors counter the valuation argument with a few observations.Their first contention is that Square could be a takeover target for banks and/or payment processing companies. Perhaps the recent massive deal between SunTrust Banks (NYSE:STI) and BB&T (NYSE:BBT)will kick M&A in the financial sector into high gear.Presently, Square stock is valued at just under $30 billion. It's also got a surprisingly resilient balance sheet. SQ has total assets of almost $4 billion versus total liabilities of $2.8 billion, while the company has less than $1 billion of total debt.SQ is not on the list of stocks with the strongest balance sheets, but I was surprised that Square wasn't more leveraged. The fact that SQ has positive cash flow also makes Square stock more attractive.The bulls' other argument is the company's growth. Square will report its earnings at the end of February, and analysts expect the company to report strong, full-year growth. On average, analysts expect its sales to surge 60% to $1.58 billion and predict that its earnings will balloon 70% to 46 cents per share.As mentioned earlier, the valuation of SQ stock is high; the shares are trading at 156 times this year's consensus earnings estimate. But it's not easy to find companies that are growing as quickly as Square. In 2019, the average estimate calls for a further 43% expansion in sales to $2.25 billion and projects that its earnings will grow 52% to 70 cents per share.SQ stock is still expensive, as it's far more costly than its peers like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), Visa (NYSE:V) and MasterCard (NYSE:MA). But growth investors won't mind its high valuation as long as its management continues to deliver.Bret Kenwell is the manager and author of Future Blue Chips and is on Twitter @BretKenwell.
