Sound Shore Management, an investment management firm, recently released its investor letter for the first quarter of 2025. The firm’s Investor Class (SSHFX) and Institutional Class (SSHVX) experienced declines of 1.93% and 1.89% respectively during this period. This performance was in contrast to the Russell 1000 Value Index (Russell Value) which saw a 2.14% return, while the Standard & Poor 500 Index (S&P 500) recorded a -4.27% return. Despite this, Sound Shore’s 35-year annualized returns stood at 10.13% and 10.41% for SSHFX and SSHVX respectively, outperforming the Russell Value but trailing behind the S&P 500.

The investor letter also highlighted some of the top holdings of the fund in 2025, with PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) being one of the notable stocks mentioned. PayPal is a technology platform that facilitates digital payments and has shown strong performance in recent months. The stock’s one-month return was 6.90%, with a 13.32% gain over the last 52 weeks. As of May 23, 2025, PayPal’s stock closed at $69.85 per share with a market capitalization of $67.931 billion.

In the Q1 2025 investor letter, Sound Shore Management provided insights on PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL), stating that despite concerns about a slowing economy and consumer spending, the company has a solid balance sheet. The firm noted that PayPal’s new management team, led by Intuit veteran Alex Chris, is driving improved profitability through product and pricing enhancements to boost margins. With $5.5 billion in net cash on the balance sheet, including long-term investments, PayPal continues to repurchase shares annually, maintaining its position as a top holding in the fund.
