Welcome to the new PayPal PYPL .
PayPal’s stock has surged 61% this year, blowing away Facebook FB , Apple AAPL and JPMorgan JPM .

In short, it’s striking new deals to open up its platforms to others such as Facebook and Baidu BIDU . Meanwhile, Schulman explains the coming Apple Pay Cash may not instantly be a major threat to PayPal’s popular Venmo service — building a Venmo won’t happen overnight for Apple.
