Wedbush on Friday downgraded the stock to underperform and cut its price target to 9 from 11. The analyst projects that the company’s growth will decelerate over the next two years amid more competition and market saturation. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs believes Square is still a buy despite the pullback, saying that “continued fundamental momentum should drive the stock to recovery as the company executes.” Shares are gapping down 20% in giant volume, hitting a more than two-month low. Square initially broke out of an IPO base in late March, and drifted in and out of buy range for a month before turning lower and breaching its 50-day line in Thursday’s session. Square is now more than 30% below its all-time high. Between this disappointing report and Twitter’s ( TWTR ) last week, CEO Jack Dorsey has his work cut out for him. Twitter is trading at all-time lows and is more than 60% below its 52-week peak, but edged up 0.7% Friday. Meanwhile, Square peer PayPal ( PYPL ) is retaking its 50-day line in quick trade, up 0.9% intraday. PayPal shares are trading 7% below its all-time high reached on its first day of trade after its split from eBay ( EBAY ). Elsewhere in the payment space, Visa ( V ) is trading around sell territory after an attempted breakout past a cup base failed. Visa was essentially flat by early afternoon. And MasterCard ( MA ) is trading just below buy range from a cup-with-handle base with a 96.21 buy point it initially broke out of less than a month ago. MasterCard was also little changed by the afternoon. Scalper1 News
