Morgan Stanley analyst James Faucette said his analysis shows that PayPal now has acceptance at 76% of the top 500 U.S. internet retailers and that on a volume-weighted basis excluding Amazon (AMZN) the company's acceptance penetration was 79% in Q1. He believes this acceptance lead vs. other digital wallets is underappreciated by investors as a key indicator of future payment volume growth and should enable PayPal to grow at or above the rate of e-commerce ex-Amazon. Faucette raised his price target on PayPal shares to $113 from $103 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares.
