Altimeter Buys PayPal Stake, Just As Josh Brown Dumps His
Portfolio Pulse from Erica Kollmann
Altimeter Capital, led by CEO Brad Gerstner, has acquired a small stake in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL), following PayPal's Q4 financial earnings report. This move contrasts with Josh Brown of Ritholtz Wealth Management, who recently sold his PayPal position, expressing distrust in the company's management. PayPal's shares have been under pressure after a keynote by CEO Alex Chriss, which aimed to unveil new product innovations and AI enhancements but received a tepid response.
