Oppenheimer analyst Glenn Greene anticipates Black Knight (BKI), Fiserv (FISV), Jack Henry (JKHY), SEI Investments (SEIC) and TSYS (TSS) could see the largest relative benefits given high percentage of domestic earnings, with 20%-plus estimated earnings accretion. Alternatively, the analyst believes Cognizant (CTSH), First Data (FDC) and Infosys (INFY) could see more modest benefit, considering Cognizant/Infosys' lower proportion of domestic earnings and First Data's elevated level of debt/interest expense. PayPal (PYPL) is not expected to benefit from tax reform, and could actually see a modest increase in its effective tax rate, he adds.

DMG Blockchain Solutions (DMGGF) announced a strategic collaboration with PayPal (PYPL) and Energy Web to explore ways to decarbonize the Bitcoin blockchain. The companies are working together on developing methods for transacting on the Bitcoin network which would expand its use as a carbon neutral payment rail, thus advancing its application. DMG, Energy Web, and PayPal are working together to publish a research paper, which we collectively believe will benefit users of the Bitcoin network who would like to take advantage of carbon neutral options in their transactions. PayPal, with its focus on developing its bitcoin payment rail, has been a leader in new payment technologies with the introduction of its enhanced services by integrating blockchain technology, launching the PayPal USD stablecoin with Paxos Trust Company in August 2023 for efficient transactions.
