Huge Bull Flag - Q2 better than expected results

Adyen is a payment provider comparable to SQUARE, but in Europe.

Recently it has won huge clients from Paypal (i.e. Ebay).

The Company is trading still under-valued compared to SQUARE.
- Revenue growth is double 70%+ vs. 44% of SQUARE
- Profitability is great 7%+ vs. -1.5%

Still up-side potential, but also in bottom of current range. So definitely a good buy-in moment just after the recent release of Q2 results where they have beaten expectations.

Commento:

Potential strategy could be LONG ADYEN / SHORT SQUARE

EV Sales = Adyen 8.45x / Square 6.65x
Sales growth = Adyen 50% / Square 44%
Profit margin = Adyen 8.36% / Square -1.35%
Earnings growth = Adyen 92% / Square N/A

Keen to hear thoughts
