  Before the open, real quick. PayPal $PYPL popped 17% on a buyout report yesterday while the chips got dumped again, Micron $MU and SanDisk $SNDK down 8% plus. Two days straight of people ditching semis for deal news and cash flow. Does that keep going today, or do chips bounce? @tastyliveshow

  $PYPL wallstreets got caught with their short down and their teeny weenies on display for their low valuation of Paypal in the $40s. It is clear at the very low end, Paypal is worth in the $60s and that is a super low ball initial offering. $SPCX, $META , $AMZN can do much better with Paypal in their arsenal.

  Stripe and a private equity firm have offered $53 billion to buy PayPal — a 28% premium, backed by $50 billion in bank financing. PayPal's market value had fallen to under $41 billion, down 36% in a year, before this bid sent shares up 16% overnight.

  $PYPL at $60.50: A 28% Premium Can Still Be a Lowball Stripe and Advent’s reported $53 billion offer looks generous only because PayPal’s starting price is broken. The real question is who gets paid for the turnaround if it works. The wrong anchor PayPal entered the takeover report worth roughly $42 billion after losing more than 40% over the previous year. Its market value exceeded $280 billion in 2021, but that peak is not a serious valuation anchor today. Neither is a historic-low share price produced by slowing branded checkout, execution misses, and collapsing investor confidence. Based on current-year adjusted earnings guidance, $60.50 works out to only about 11–12x earnings. That is not an aggressive control multiple for a platform with 439 million active accounts, $464 billion of quarterly payment volume, $1.7 billion of first-quarter adjusted free cash flow, and more cash and investments than debt. The discount is deserved First-quarter non-GAAP operating margin fell 229 basis points, active accounts were effectively flat sequentially, and adjusted EPS is guided between a low-single-digit decline and roughly flat for 2026. Enrique Lores only took over in March, and he has not proved that splitting PayPal into three businesses will revive checkout growth or repair the technology platform. That execution risk deserves a discount. It does not justify handing the entire recovery option to the buyer. The second-order read Stripe and Advent have reportedly lined up around $50 billion of financing, suggesting this is more than casual price discovery. They are trying to buy PayPal before the cost reset, operating simplification, and reinvestment appear in reported numbers. Lores is targeting at least $1.5 billion of savings over two to three years, with those funds intended to support growth. William Blair’s Andrew Jeffrey said the opening bid could move toward $70, and even that would be only about 13–14x PayPal’s current adjusted earnings range. That is a defensible negotiation level, not a heroic valuation. The board is not choosing between $60.50 and the old $300 share price. It is choosing between certainty now and PayPal’s probability-weighted value after the turnaround has had time to work. Bottom line: $60.50 is a credible opening bid, but unless diligence reveals deeper structural decay, it pays shareholders for recent pain—not fairly for PayPal’s recovery upside.

  $PYPL PayPal — While the reported proposal highlights deep-value interest in PayPal's consumer ecosystem, actual execution remains highly uncertain due to integration complexity and regulatory hurdles, leading analysts to advise against chasing the rally. PayPal shares surged 17% (trading around $55, down from their 2021 all-time high of $310) following reports of a $53 billion buyout proposal. The offer features $50 billion in secured financing, with Stripe and Advent taking equal 50% stakes. The strategic objective is connecting Stripe's merchant-side back-end tech with PayPal's consumer front end, including Venmo and 439 million active users. Wall Street remained skeptical as the stock did not reach the full 28% premium implied by the offer, and analysts at William Blair maintained a "market perform" rating. #Tech #FinTech

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.

  I wonder how long-term $PYPL shareholders are feeling this morning... Stripe and Advent made an offer to buy the company for $60 per share which is up 50% from the recent lows (after hitting fresh 10-year lows) but still down -80% from the all time highs. fwiw, I heard a rumor 6-7 weeks ago that Zelle (which is owned by 7 major banks) was also interested in acquiring PayPal. I guess they decided not to make an offer.

  @dowehave2_tx @PayPal They don't care. A few years ago, during the height of the censorship gestapo, they were shutting down campaigns they didn't like and stealing their money. I shut down my own PP and as a *** member of a 501c, successfully pushed a vote to shut that one down too.

  🚨 Stripe just made a $53 billion offer to buy PayPal. The underdog — trying to buy the company it spent a decade chasing. The bid is $60.50 per share, a 28% premium over Tuesday's close. Stripe teamed up with private equity firm Advent International to own PayPal 50/50, with about $50 billion of it coming from bank loans. But here's the part I keep coming back to. PayPal peaked near $360 billion in 2021. This year it sank to around $36 billion — down more than 40% in a single year. Stripe was just valued at $159 billion. Still private. Still "the startup." But the startup is now more than three times the size of the former giant. Ten years ago, this would've been a joke. Today it's a Reuters headline. It just goes to show, the names on top feel permanent — right up until they aren't.

  @Dr_Crossroads This price action is actually quite normal. The vast majority of tech IPOs experience a "broken IPO" at some point during their first 36 months in the public markets. (One notable exemption: ARM Holdings...) Will $CRWV reach your 2029 targets? Perhaps. But it is quite likely that it is going below $40 first. Even your beloved Palantir: - It closed the first day of trading at $9.50 on September 30, 2020; it dropped to $5.92 in December 2022. One thing I would caution you about is that those $120 Dec 2028 LEAPs you mentioned... they can easily expire worthless if $CRWV is to be acquired at some point over next two years. I have a similar situation today with PayPal: the stock is up big (which is nice), but my $50 Dec 2028 LEAPs are actually down. Still in green, but they were supposed to be multi baggers to offset my $PYPL tax harvest losses from last year. Now their value is capped at $10.50 (or so), until the offer is raised - or removed.

  @MartinSLewis ...make X Y & Z transactions - exact same script as previous (genuine) call - no I did not. "There's also been an attempted login to PayPal, we will send a code to your email, please read it out to us" - alarm bells, I hung up but on a different day I might have fallen for it.
