PayPal and Coinbase have become the most oversold stocks on Wall Street, according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a popular tool used to measure how heavily a stock has been sold.
An RSI reading below 30 usually signals an oversold asset. This week, both companies fell far below that level. PayPal’s RSI dropped under 11, while Coinbase fell to around 14, showing extreme selling pressure.
PayPal had its worst week ever, with shares plunging more than 24%. The selloff followed a weak earnings outlook for 2026 and the sudden departure of CEO Alex Chriss, which rattled investor confidence.
Despite the crash, analysts are not rushing to downgrade the stock. Data from LSEG shows most analysts rate PayPal as a “hold.” Average price targets still suggest potential upside of about 40% over the next year, though risks remain high.
Coinbase also took a heavy hit as Bitcoin prices dropped sharply. Shares fell roughly 25% during the week, dragged down by declining crypto prices and fears of lower trading activity.
The stock saw a small bounce as Bitcoin recovered, but it still closed the week deep in the red. Even so, analyst sentiment remains optimistic. Most analysts rate Coinbase as a buy, with average targets pointing to a possible 100% upside, depending on where the crypto market heads next.
The selloff extended beyond crypto-linked stocks. KKR & Co. ended the week oversold, with its RSI falling below 20 and shares down more than 13%. Investor concern around artificial intelligence disrupting traditional software businesses weighed on sentiment.
Palantir also struggled, dropping about 13% for the week. After a strong rally over the past year, fears around AI competition hit the stock hard. Palantir is set to report earnings soon, which could determine its near-term direction.
Analyst Rishi Jaluria of RBC Capital Markets remains bearish on Palantir, keeping an “underperform” rating and a $50 price target. With an RSI near 26, the stock remains under pressure but is less oversold than PayPal or Coinbase.
