  $PYPL - PAYPAL REJECTED $60.50 A SHARE, THEN TRADED ABOVE IT FOR WEEKS. THE BIDDERS JUST WALKED. PayPal sits between a shopper and a merchant and keeps a slice of what passes through. In July, Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 a share for the whole company. The board turned it down, on the argument that the price undervalued what management could still build — and the market did not merely accept that argument, it priced a better one. PayPal closed last night at $61.47, above the offer it had refused. This morning Bloomberg reported that Stripe and Advent have dropped the pursuit. The stock is quoted near $52 in pre-market, −15%, with the S&P flat. A rejected bid is not a floor. Once a stock trades through an offer, the market has stopped pricing the deal and started pricing a bump — a number nobody has agreed to pay and nobody is obliged to. The day before that offer arrived, PayPal closed at $47.37. It is the last price in this story anyone paid with no buyer in the room.

  PayPal is supposed to be the old payments company. Stripe was willing to pay more than $53 billion for it. PayPal still has 439 million active accounts and processed $486 billion in payment volume last quarter. My read: Stripe wasn't trying to buy better payment software. It was trying to buy something much harder to build from scratch. Distribution. You can replace checkout software. You can build better APIs. Getting hundreds of millions of accounts to already know your name, trust the button and have a payment method attached is a different problem. Stripe and Advent eventually walked away from the bid. But the attempt itself says something. Sometimes disruption kills the product long before it kills the network around it.

  @PranavBobde @atybdot @aegloist I have had my fair share of problems with Razorpay (my tweet you quoted is almost 4 years old). However when I was in India running the company, I found other gateways even worse, so we never left Razorpay. Eventually the problems faded away and it worked consistently okay for us for Indian payments. Never left stripe/paypal, we had our own payment gateway orchestration sending people to right gateway based on their location

  @Akshithrao @nischalsharma_ @Razorpay well honestly Akshith it's not really that good. if i have to integrate PayPal at the end of day, give commission to them as then on top of that my customers can't just easily pay with their cards outside india without paypal - it creates lot of issues.

  $PYPL Stripe & Advent have backed out of potential paypal takeover. Yet again, proving the current structure is not working. .@paypal mgmt should have to explain why the following is wrong. Paypal needs to become Venmo, and put the paypal brand to bed. The brand is a dinosaur and to most people, already does not exist. What are you holding on to ?? Venmo is the verb, and at least from my own experience, is the #1 payment app. From experience, Venmo business is what clients use, barely ever using cashapp, apple pay or zelle - DEFINITELY NOT PAYPAL. Become Venmo, become the Verb in the payment industry. Become one business with zero overlap, overlap is only expensive, not beneficial. If i'm wrong, explain to your shareholders why, because whatever it is you're doing or thinking, IT'S NOT WORKING. (no position). At the least, spin off Venmo to the public market.

  $PYPL 61.47 down 10 a report that potential buyers of the payments company have walked away from negotiations. Shareholders will have to put their faith in the company's turnaround plans instead. Financial-technology company Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International have given up on acquiring PayPal after offering more than $50 billion for the company, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

  Strip out the deal speculation and PayPal was already down 27% YTD, 45.3% below its 52-week high of $79.50. New CEO Enrique Lores (ex-HP) is mid-restructuring: a planned 20% workforce cut, targeting $1.5B in cost savings over 2-3 years.

  I had exactly the same issue and reported paypal to the police who just laughed. I had someone send me money then they asked for a refund. I refused as they had not met refund requirements and paypal took their side, locked my account and billed me for the full amount…

  PayPal just lost its bid premium in one headline. $PYPL down 14% Bloomberg reported Stripe and Advent International dropped a pursuit valued at about $53 billion. The consortium had offered $60.50 a share in July, a roughly 28% premium. The board called that inadequate, citing regulation, financing and the turnaround under new CEO Enrique Lores. The stock fell more than 14% to around $52. That is near 10 times forward earnings versus a long-run average closer to 27 times. The market is pricing two things at once. The deal is off. And Apple Pay and the rest of digital payments still sit on the same field. A take-private that cannot clear the board does not fix either problem.

  $PYPL investors just got the outcome the stock was not priced for. Bloomberg reports that Stripe and Advent have abandoned their pursuit of PayPal. The consortium had offered $60.50 per share, valuing PayPal at more than $53B. Yet $PYPL closed Thursday at $61.47, suggesting investors were pricing in either a higher offer or another bidder. PayPal’s board reportedly viewed $60.50 as inadequate. Now management has to prove it was right. The standalone numbers are not exactly broken: • Q2 revenue: $8.68B, up 5% • Adjusted EPS: $1.38 • FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance: $5.38 • Adjusted free cash flow guidance: at least $6B • Planned 2026 buybacks: approximately $6B At Thursday’s close, that valued PayPal at roughly 11.4x guided earnings and 9x guided adjusted free cash flow. The problem is that branded checkout volume grew only 2%, while adjusted operating margin contracted by 248 basis points to 17.4%. My take: this is not new operational deterioration. The probability of a takeover changed overnight, not the underlying business. If the report is confirmed, the takeover premium disappears and $PYPL becomes a pure test of Enrique Lores’ turnaround. The board rejected $60.50. Now it needs to create more value than that.

  PayPal was worth $360 billion in 2021. Last month, Stripe offered $53 billion to buy the entire company. Back in 2021, that idea would have sounded ridiculous. PayPal had a massive head start. Stripe was founded 12 years later, and for most of its life, it was the much smaller company. Then, last year, for the first time, more online payments ran through Stripe than through PayPal. Today, private investors value Stripe at roughly three times PayPal. How does the company that made online payments mainstream end up here? In June, I broke down the math. PayPal earns a high fee when customers click its button at checkout. It earns a much smaller fee running credit card payments behind the scenes for other checkouts. But increasingly, customers were clicking Apple Pay or Shop Pay first. That's because the rest of the industry kept innovating: → Apple put one-tap payment into the phone → Shopify built checkout into its stores → Stripe sold businesses the tools to run payments themselves Meanwhile, PayPal spent its money elsewhere. It bought companies, including a $4 billion coupon app, and poured money into user acquisition instead of better technology. On paper, overall revenue still managed to grow every single year. But its most profitable product, the branded checkout button, completely flatlined. As margins fell, the market value dropped by 86% from its 2021 peak. At that price, Stripe could suddenly make a play for its biggest rival. In July, Stripe lined up private equity firm Advent International to help fund the bid and offered $60.50 a share in cash. PayPal's stock jumped 17% in a day. Five days later, the board said no. Too low. But the talks never stopped. The stock now trades above the offer price — the market is betting a higher bid is coming. Whatever the final number is, it will be a fraction of what PayPal was worth five years ago. That's the lesson: A business can grow every year and still fall behind. When it stops innovating and adjusting, a smaller competitor that keeps doing both can outgrow it — and maybe even be in the position to buy it. 🔔 I'm Leysan, ex-CFO who breaks down the economics behind tech companies every single week.

  @BeccaAmilee @Earl_Of_Chester This is definitely what I do now but when it happened to me, they even spoofed the email address and it was my business PayPal account and I had a market coming up in two days and I thought it was getting shut down. I was already in a panic as it was and this is what they count on.
