PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) shares are surging Friday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck a surprisingly dovish tone at Jackson Hole, signaling that rate cuts may soon be on the horizon as the labor market cools.
What To Know: For growth companies like PayPal, interest rates play a pivotal role. As borrowing costs fall, investors are more willing to pay higher valuations for future earnings, since those cash flows are discounted at a lower rate.
