Is PayPal undervalued ?

At $62 per share its trading at 5 year lows, with 12x P/E its lowest multiple in history. double digit % EPS growth despite adverse environment, with revenue to pick up when e-commerce recovers and expands, and $5bn annual buyback. Most brokers predict 50% upside. 
 

So basically multiple expansion + EPS growth + buybacks easily lead to street consensus of 50% upside in the next 6-12 months. 
 

Am I missing something ? I’m not a fintech expert but this seems dirty cheap.

Think 3 reasons are 1) CEO hunt is still going and longer than expected, 2) margin compression and competitive tension from stuff like Apple Pay, and 3) e-commerce quality as these merchants are first to dip if economy underperforms. Agree that valuation is super attractive on a P/E basis . Don’t have any positions yet but considering
