Volatility is currently expanding
PayPal (PYPL -3.04%) was a potential buyout target, but the two companies interested in acquiring it recently abandoned their plans. In this video, I'll discuss what this means for the stock and what I'm planning to do with my PayPal shares now.
PYPL is expanding financial services, with BNPL, credit and debit products fueling growth and deepening engagement across its customer base.
PayPal has cut roughly 220 jobs in India as part of the payments firm's broader, multi-year turnaround plan laid out earlier this year, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. is rated Buy, with a 12-month target of $68-72, reflecting strong fundamentals and board conviction in standalone value. PYPL rejected a $60.50/share takeover bid, as the board deemed it undervalued; shares now trade below both the offer and pre-bid range. Q2 2026 saw revenue of $8.68B (+5% YoY), non-GAAP EPS of $1.38 (+8% beat), and free cash flow up 157% to $1.78B.
INTU leverages AI and a broad financial ecosystem to drive growth, while PYPL expands beyond checkout to unlock new monetization opportunities.
PayPal is a Strong Buy, trading at deeply undervalued levels despite robust fundamentals and a progressing turnaround under new leadership. Reportedly abandoned Stripe-Advent buyout at $60.50/share highlights market undervaluation; current price offers significant re-rating potential as transformation advances. Macro and competitive risks persist, but current valuation more than compensates, positioning PYPL favorably for long-term investors seeking asymmetric upside.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. remains undervalued after the failed $63.5B Advent/Stripe bid, offering management the chance to refocus on operational improvements. Branded checkout, while no longer a major growth engine, provides stable, reliable cash flows that can support future initiatives if managed efficiently. Braintree continues to deliver mid-teens growth and profitable momentum, with plans to unify platforms for better merchant experience and improved monetization.
PayPal shares are slumping in the wake of a report from Bloomberg that Stripe and Advent have abandoned their takeover offer for the payments company.
Shares of Paypal Holding (NASDAQ:PYPL) are plunging 11.1% to trade at $54.62 following a Bloomberg report that Advent and Stripe walked away from acquisition talks after offering more than $50 billion for the company.
PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL, XETRA:2PP) shares opened about 15% lower on Friday after Stripe and private equity firm Advent International abandoned their multi-month pursuit of the digital payments company, according to reports. The consortium, which reportedly also included Block founder Jack Dorsey, had offered $60.50 per PayPal share in mid-July, valuing the company at roughly $53 billion.
