The so-called SPAC king prepares to launch another: ‘The last time wasn't a success by any means'
The so-called SPAC king, who created a dozen special-purpose acquisition companies that ultimately lost investors billions of dollars, says he's probably getting back in the business. Chamath Palihapitiya, a venture capitalist and co-host of the popular podcast 'All-In,' responded to a social-media poll with more than 50,000 responses whose result overwhelmingly indicated he should not launch another SPAC by saying he'll ignore that finding. Israel-Iran clash delivers a fresh shock to investors. History suggests this is the move to make. Why the biggest-ever 'triple witching' options expiration could deliver a jolt to Friday's trading 'I'm at my wit's end': My niece paid off her husband's credit card but fell behind on her taxes. How can I help her? 'I prepaid our mom's rent for a year': My sister is a millionaire and never helps our mother. How do I cut her out of her will? Why the stock market will be performing a high-wire act over the summer, according to UBS Saying he received calls from many Wall Street and crypto 'titans' indicating that they wanted him to launch a SPAC, he declared on the social-media platform X: 'I will probably do it.' Special-purpose acquisition companies are publicly traded shell companies formed with the purpose of acquiring or merging with a private company to take it public. It's a way to sidestep the expenses and regulatory work of going public through a traditional initial public offering. They are also called blank-check companies. Palihapitiya was not deterred, in the slightest, by his previous performance. 'Maybe this time it will go better? Who knows. The risks are clear, though. The last time wasn't a success by any means,' he said. Data compiled by MarketWatch, using FactSet figures, underscore that. None of his SPACs outperformed the S&P 500 SPX since their first day of trade, and most have struggled or outright failed. Company Ticker Performance since launch Virgin Galactic SPCE -98.50% OpenDoor Technologies OPEN -94.60% Clover Health CLOV -70.90% Social Capital Hedosophia IV IPOD SoFi Technologies SOFI +46.6% Social Capital Hedosophia VI IPOF MP Materials MP +272.2% Desktop Metal Acquired -47% Metromile Acquired -79% Proterra Bankrupt -100% Latch LTCH -98.60% Sunlight Financial Bankrupt -100% Data: MarketWatch calculations/FactSet Two of his best-performing SPACs were the ones where Palihapitiya could not find a merger partner, so he returned the $10 per share to investors. Palihapitiya's renewed interest comes as Goldman Sachs GS, according to Bloomberg, has ended a three-year self-imposed ban on SPAC involvement. I'm 75 and have a reverse mortgage. Should I pay it off with my $200K savings — and live off Social Security instead? I'm 51, earn $129K and have $165K in my 401(k). Can I afford to retire when my husband, 59, draws Social Security at 62?

Why PayPal Stock Is a Screaming Buy for the Second Half of 2025
PayPal stock (PYPL) has had a bumpy ride since 2020. The stock more than doubled in 2020 and continued its good run in the first half of 2021. However, PYPL ended that year in the red, meeting the same fate for the next two years. 2024 was a welcome break for PayPal investors as the 'law of averages' finally caught up with the stock, and it gained a respectable 39%, outperforming the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) after three consecutive years of underperformance. Cut to 2025, and PYPL stock has already lost nearly 20% and is yet again massively underperforming the broader market, which has recovered from its April lows. I see the recent fall in PayPal stock as a good buying opportunity, as we'll explore in this article. Dear Tesla Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for June 30 The 'Golden Era' for Tesla Starts June 22. Should You Buy TSLA Stock First? This Options Tool Can Show You How to Trade Tesla Stock Ahead of Robotaxi Day Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. PayPal started the year on a strong note but fell sharply after its Q4 2024 earnings. While the company posted better-than-expected revenues and profits for the quarter, and its guidance came in ahead of estimates, slowing growth at Braintree, its subsidiary focused on card processing, dampened sentiment. The tariff chaos did not help, as fintech companies, including Affirm (AFRM) and PayPal, slumped in April amid concerns that tariffs could lead to a recession, hurting their business. Both these stocks have not yet recovered to their 2025 highs, even as tariff worries have greatly (if not fully) subsided. While these are short-term headwinds, PayPal is facing some structural challenges in the form of higher competition across nearly all its business verticals. For instance, its branded checkout is facing intense competition from Apple Pay (AAPL) and Google Pay (GOOG), while the non-branded business faces competition from companies like Stripe. The P2P business is also facing competition from Zelle and Cash App (XYZ). The competition has negatively impacted PayPal's topline, which is now growing in single digits. With rising competition, digital payment companies have been feeling pressure on their take rate (the fees they charge for processing the transaction), and PayPal's operating margins have fallen. While I find corporate turnarounds a cliché, PayPal is a legit turnaround story under the new CEO, Alex Chriss, who is working on profitable growth. The strategy has shown results, and the company has had five consecutive quarters of profitable growth. PayPal has also made a foray into digital advertising, capitalizing on the vast consumer data that it possesses. The company is also using artificial intelligence to personalize experiences for customers. PayPal is transforming into a 'commerce company' from a mere payment company, and aspires to be a bridge connecting its over 400 million users to the merchants on the platform. During the Investor Day earlier this year, Chriss said that the pivot could help PayPal deliver annual adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of over 20% in the future. The investing thesis for PayPal is three part. The first is the turnaround and transformation, which is a work in progress The initial stages of this turnaround have been promising. The second is, of course, valuation, as PayPal's current forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple of 13.5x is well below the S&P 500 Index. Also, despite the slowdown, the company's bottom line is still growing, and the P/E-to-growth multiple of 1.13x looks quite attractive. Finally, PayPal is a free cash flow powerhouse despite all the challenges, and expects to generate between $6 billion-$7 billion of free cash in 2025. The company has been using the bulk of this cash flow to repurchase its shares and intends to spend $6 billion on buybacks this year. Given PayPal's current market cap of just over $66 billion, the buybacks will theoretically help boost its EPS by high single digits. PayPal's cash engine is not expected to slow down anytime soon, and it intends to use between 70%-80% of its free cash flows toward repurchases over the medium term, which should help propel its EPS growth in low-teens, if not higher. The company's balance sheet is also quite formidable, and it holds more cash and investments than the debt it owes. Overall, I find PayPal stock a no-brainer at these levels and am adding to my existing position in the company. While it is no longer the kind of growth story it was a few years back, there is a lot of comfort in these valuations, and the turnaround can help lead to a re-rating. Sell-side analysts also see decent upside in PYPL stock, and its mean target price of $80.50 is 17.4% higher than the June 18 closing price. The overall Street sentiment is mixed, though, and of the 44 analysts covering the stock, 16 have a 'Strong Buy' rating while three rate PYPL as a 'Moderate Buy.' 21 analysts rate PayPal as a 'Hold' while the remaining four rate it as a 'Strong Sell.' On the date of publication, Mohit Oberoi had a position in: PYPL, AFRM, GOOG, AAPL. All information and data in this article is solely for informational purposes.

Founder Group says ‘will not be impacted' by solar power tax credits wind down
Founder Group (FGL) assures investors that the Company will not be impacted by a U.S. Senate panel's proposed wind down of solar power tax credits by 2028. 'Founder Group operates primarily in Malaysia and doesn't have operations in the U.S. Therefore, the Company should not be affected by the sentiments currently causing selloffs of U.S. solar power stocks,' said Lee Seng Chi, CEO. 'Although we are listed on Nasdaq and trade alongside U.S. solar power stocks, we will not be impacted by the possible elimination of those tax credits. Our revenue is predominantly generated from the Malaysian market hence we are not affected by the changes suggested by President Donald Trump's tax cut and spending bill. In the near future, our expansion will focus on regional expansion in Southeast Asia only. Expansion to the U.S. is not in our current plans.'
