Marram Investment Management Exits PayPal Holdings Due to Thesis Breakdown
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Marram Investment Management reported a +2.7% portfolio return for the quarter and a year-to-date net return of +3.2%. The firm cited positive contributions from MLP Energy Infrastructure, Large Financials, and Biopharma sectors while noting underperformance in Payment Technology investments. Marram exited PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) at a slight loss due to a breakdown in its investment thesis following the abrupt CEO change by PayPal's board. The new CEO is described as lacking experience in payments or technology—sectors central to Marram’s original rationale for investing in PayPal. The firm emphasized that it acts decisively when underlying assumptions shift, and this exit reflects such an adjustment. At $52.62 per share on September 21, 2026, PYPL had declined by over 15% month-to-date and nearly 22% year-to-date.
