  MACRO DESK (@MDESKw) reported 5 minutes ago

  $PYPL PAYPAL UNDER PRESSURE Stripe and Advent have reportedly abandoned their pursuit of acquiring PayPal, ending talks over a potential $50B+ deal. The consortium had previously offered $60.50 per share, but PayPal reportedly viewed the offer as insufficient. $PYPL is now tumbling in premarket, down roughly 17%, as the takeover premium gets wiped out and investors refocus on PayPal’s underlying fundamentals.

  I guess my paypal issue wasn't isolated.. Its a common thing happened to almost every users huh? My paypal was like 20+ years old.. Everything worked just fine.. Then they decided to implement AI to their website to cut corners.. Suddenly mass banning happening that include mine.. No warning, no notify.. Just instantly blocked my account AFTER i received a commission money.. So the money got stuck and cannot be cash out whatsoever (need at least $ 10 to cash out and i have like 8 atm)

  PayPal shares are sinking after a Bloomberg report says Advent and Stripe have walked away from their takeover bid. The pair had offered $60.50/share in July, valuing PayPal at $53B. $PYPL is down more than 11% today.

  @mauerstrasse I think app could be a good shopping destination, if there was a way to add item to basket and immediately pay with PayPal button. Unfortunately lots of friction. Home page looks terrible, but the backend works very well. Would like to think I could design better homepage.

  I sent a support ticket to the PaidViewpoint people earlier today about PayPal no longer being a cash out option and they basically told me they're having an issue with their PayPal payment processor and they're hoping to get it back to working within 5-7 days.

  @Mutualaidboost_ I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  52 followers 7 days ago. 1,100+ today. Wild. Thanks to every single one of you. let me quickly introduce myself: In 2019 I was bored out of my mind at university. Took me about one semester to realize the degree I was working towards would never get me where I actually wanted to be. Then YouTube recommended me a video: "How to make money with dropshipping" Boom. That was the opportunity I was looking for (I thought). So I went all in. Grinding day and night. 30k first month, tripled that the month after. I thought I cracked the code. Until > PayPal cases started rolling in lol. > Refunds left and right. > Problems with the supplier as well. Turns out I sucked at running the store. But heres the thing: While I was bad at every part of that business, there was one part I was actually good at. The ad account. Reading the data and making decisions other people didn't see were an option. So I asked around in my network whether I could run ads for them. Took some time but one guy finally said yes (forever thankful for you if you read this). And guess what: IT WORKED! Certainly not at today's level, but more than enough to establish a profitable marketing channel for him. In fact: He was so happy, he recommended me to another guy and one thing led to another. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY: I run a multi 7-figure full funnel Google Ads agency. We scale brands like Sodastream, Riedel and Music Store, plenty of stores starting from scratch on Google and everything in between. And after a few hundred accounts, the same pattern keeps showing up: ALMOST NOBODY IS LOSING MONEY BC THEIR ADS ARE BAD. But bc they're not doing the basics right at scale. After spending €50mio+ on Google I thought, "why not share all the lessons and insights about how to scale tf out of people's Google Ads." I share every single detail and not gate keep anything. Before, I thought this stuff was way too niche for X. But based on the DMs I've received, apparently not. So welcome on my X account brother. Follow along for more ecom nerd stuff that makes you more money. 🫶🏼

  $PYPL down 16% in premarket. Stripe and Advent are abandoning their attempt to acquire PayPal. They had offered $60.50 per share more than $53 billion in order to adquire the company.

  Uthman Abdulmugni (@crimsonmarketer) reported 29 minutes ago

  @alexlay88 That 9% is an easy fix most stores skip, Shop Pay, PayPal, and a BNPL option covers nearly every preference bucket. The harder chunk to solve is the abandonment that isn't payment related at all, unexpected costs revealed at the final step. Both are checkout problems, but only one gets fixed by adding a button.

  I recall a moot telling me how someone called them a scalper because they would only use PayPal g&s and wanted them to just e-transfer. Don’t do it. Anyone trust worthy won’t have any issue with PayPal g&s.

  PAYPAL LOSES THE BIDDER $PYPL is getting the deal premium ripped out after Advent and Stripe walked from a $60.50 / ~$53B tilt. Stock closed $61.47. Premarket is sitting around $53, down ~13–15%. 🔹 Board already called the bid light 🔹 Rally this quarter was the rumor. Now it’s the business

  Matt | The Value Way (@TheValueWay) reported 45 minutes ago

  I find it interesting PayPal fell ~13% this week after Stripe & Advent walked away from their $60.50/share takeover bid. At ~$54, $PYPL now trades at roughly: ~10x 2026 adjusted earnings ~8x adjusted FCF I think that is interesting because PayPal doesn’t need to return to high growth for the maths to work. Management is guiding to ~$5.38 of adjusted EPS and $6bn+ of adjusted FCF, while also planning roughly $6bn of buybacks this year. They’ve already reduced shares outstanding from ~920m to ~862m in six months. So even if total earnings barely grow, continued buybacks can still drive EPS higher. On current EPS alone: 10x = ~$54 12x = ~$65 15x = ~$81 If earnings hold up, buybacks continue and the market eventually decides PayPal deserves something closer to 15x earnings, you don’t need heroic growth assumptions to get a good return. Michael Burry has also argued the $60.50 offer was too low, putting his own lower-end intrinsic value estimate around $75–80, with a takeover value potentially closer to $100. So my thesis is: “Can PayPal protect its moat, keep generating ~$6bn of FCF, aggressively retire shares and eventually earn a less pessimistic multiple?” If yes, management's decision to turn down ~$60.50 could look like a great move!

  $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 is down about 13% premarket after the Advent/Stripe consortium reportedly walked away. Their rejected bid was $60.50. $PYPL closed yesterday at $61.47 and now trades near $53.39. The part the headline misses: that is still about 13% above the roughly $47.27 price before the bid surfaced in July. Since then PayPal raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 and outlined $400M of savings this year. The deal premium disappeared. The entire rerating did not.

  @adelahub Another pre-sale won't fix anything. I've tried the album pre-order pre-sale, Telekom pre-sale, PayPal pre-sale, all for nothing. 🙃 Something needs to change in the system.
