Summary

Earnings season is coming to a close, and we just got a glimpse at the latest results from PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) and Square (NYSE: SQ), including how both businesses performed in April as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the U.S. economy. In this episode of Industry Focus: Financials, host Jason Moser and Fool.com contributor Matt Frankel, CFP dive into the numbers that investors need to know. Then, the pair answers a listener question on the seemingly irrational optimism in the stock market and discusses why they have Disney (NYSE: DIS) and Sony (NYSE: SNE) on their radar right now.
