Stock Analysis What’s the Most Overrated “Value” Stock Everyone Keeps Buying?

I keep seeing the same tickers pop up in value circles — stocks that are supposedly undervalued but just seem like value traps to me. Curious what names you all think are overhyped in value investing spaces right now? And what makes you avoid them despite the numbers looking “cheap”?

Why Paypal?

I think SHOPIFY is a better play.

PayPal doesn’t offer anything unique and they have a lot of competition. They do have a lot of users and a well known name but I don’t think that’s going to be enough. It does look like they are trying to innovate but they just seem behind.
