The online commerce sector is taking more and more importance in our lives, its growth
in recent years has been exponential and some companies have created methods to
make money transactions in these markets by working as financial intermediaries, even
to have the power of large traditional banks.
The main objective of this study is to carry out a valuation of a company to analyse its
evolution over time and the state of its financial accounts, with the intention that this work
can serve to improve the organisation or from an investor's point of view to value the
company.
The company analysed in this work is PayPal Holdings which is a young company with
great growth and great expectations for the future that operates in the online payment
sector and, on which a financial and economical analysis will be carried out.
The first part of the study describes the history of the company, its characteristics and
the market in which it operates. Next, the balance sheet of the company PayPal Holdings
is analysed horizontally and vertically, in such a way that the evolution of the value of
each item of the balance sheet in the horizontal analysis and the importance of each of
these items with respect to the total value in the vertical analysis can be observed in
detail.
In the second part of the work, an analysis is made of the different ratios that determine
the financial status of the company, starting with the liquidity ratios to evaluate its ability
to face up to short-term debts, followed by the solvency ratios, to see if the company can
face up to its debts in general and the profitability ratios that measure the company's
ability to generate profits.
In this second part of the work, an analysis of the share price is also carried out to see
how the company performs in the stock market.
Finally, a comparative analysis is made between the company PayPal and Visa using
the ratios calculated above as a reference.
A financial analysis is a necessary tool for any economic activity, both for the company
itself, which can use this data to self-evaluate and improve its decision-making for the
future, and for an investor who can use this analysis as a reference to evaluate the state
of the company and whether it is advisable to invest in it or not. [-]
