Should PayPal be on my list of shares to buy?
On the face of it, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) ought to be on my list of shares to buy. The company has a market value of $69bn and has generated just under $6bn in free cash in the last year. With minimal debt, that implies a free cash flow yield of almost 9%. That's pretty high considering the business isn't in decline – but there's a catch when it comes to the valuation. With no dividend, PayPal returns cash to shareholders via share buybacks. These work by reducing the outstanding share count, increasing the value of each of the remaining shares. Since 2020, PayPal's returned over $20bn via share repurchases. That's around 30% of its current market value and the returns have been going up. Year Share Buybacks 2024 $6bn 2023 $5bn 2022 $4.2bn 2021 $3.4bn 2020 $1.6bn Despite this, the company's share count has only fallen by about 13% over the last five years. That's much less impressive and it raises an important question for investors. PayPal's share count isn't really going down much despite the firm using almost all the free cash it generates to buy back shares. So where's the money going? A big part of the answer is stock-based compensation. This is where PayPal issues shares to pay its staff part of their salaries in the firm's stock, rather than cash. A lot of companies do this and I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with it. But it's something that investors need to factor into their calculations. Since 2020, PayPal's issued around $6.5bn in stock to cover these expenses. And this has gone some way towards offsetting the cash the firm's been using for share buybacks. In 2024, the company spent almost $6bn on repurchasing shares, but just over 20% of this was offset by stock-based compensation. So the outstanding share count only fell by around 6%. Stock-based compensation doesn't involve cash leaving the business directly. As a result, some investors tend to think it isn't a real expense. I however, think this is a mistake. Issuing equity automatically reduces the value of share buybacks and this is a key mechanism companies can return cash to shareholders. This is especially true when it comes to PayPal. Its 9% free cash flow yield's attractive at first sight, but the firm can't just use this to bring down its share count by that amount every year. Before it can start bringing down its number of shares outstanding, it has to buy back the ones it issued. And it has to do that with cash, making it a very real expense for investors. I don't think PayPal's stock-based compensation is a reason to dismiss the stock out of hand immediately. And the company's undergoing an interesting shift in terms of its priorities. Focusing on margins over revenue growth could boost profits and integrating further into the online transaction process could boost its competitive position. These are potential positives. For the time being though, I think there are better opportunities available. While the stock looks like a bargain at first sight, I don't think it's as attractive for me as it seems.

Meta Platforms (META) Unveils Advanced AI Model Focused on Physical Reasoning
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the best stocks to buy. On June 11, Meta rolled out V-JEPA 2, a refined AI model that strengthens the system's capacity to understand and predict physical gestures. The newly introduced model empowers robots and intelligent agents with stronger situational awareness and predictive skills, crucial for fostering AI systems that "think before they act." By analyzing video footage, the model developed an understanding of real-world patterns, such as human-object contact, kinetic movement, and inter-object interactions. Testing in Meta's research facilities confirmed the model could guide robots in executing actions like reaching for, lifting, and placing items elsewhere. Three new benchmarks have been released by Meta to help measure the effectiveness of current models in interpreting real-world interactions via video. By sharing these benchmarks, Meta hopes to accelerate progress in the AI research community. Meta underlined the importance of physical reasoning as a cornerstone for equipping AI systems to interact effectively with the tangible world and to attain higher levels of artificial intelligence. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

TruGolf Announces Reverse Stock Split
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, today announced that it filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its Class A common stock. The reverse stock split will take effect at 12:01 am (Eastern Time) on June 23, 2025, and the Company's Class A common stock will open for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on June 23, 2025 on a post-split basis, under the existing ticker symbol 'TRUG' but with a new CUSIP number 243733409. As a result of the reverse stock split, every fifty shares of the Company's Class A common stock issued and outstanding prior to the opening of trading on June 23, 2025 will be consolidated into one issued and outstanding share. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company's outstanding equity awards, as applicable, as well as to the number of shares issuable under the Company's equity incentive plans. The Class A common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock or the par value of the Class A common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Class A common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, the stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. As a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 40.5 million shares to approximately 0.8 million shares, and the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock will remain at 650 million shares.
