  $PYPL: $53 billion acquisition talks collapse The immediate cause of today’s sharp drop in PayPal shares is reports that a consortium comprising Advent International and Stripe has abandoned plans to acquire the company. Previous offer: $60.50 per share; total valuation: approximately $53 billion. Latest development: The buyers have withdrawn from negotiations. $PYPL shares fell by roughly 15%–16% in pre-market trading and were down about 12%–14% during the trading session. 📈 Driven by acquisition speculation, $PYPL had previously risen over 40% this quarter; consequently, the news triggered a significant sell-off as market expectations failed to materialize.

  @oreo075wq do you use paypal business or personal for those or can it cover for both ? because commission artists when using paypals have to use it as business and submit some stuff or else theyll shut the account down

  What happened today? (28 August) 1. PayPal ($PYPL ): reports that the Advent/Stripe consortium walked away from takeover talks sent shares plunging as much as 14%. Although some analysts flagged factors that could support a rebound, I am always going to call it the beautiful PainPal. 2. Marvell ($MRVL ) posted a strong quarter but shares fell as much as 8% and headed for their worst day in a month, with investors fixated on delayed timing of the Google AI deal revenue. 3. Fed rate-path uncertainty spiked after Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments pushed hike odds higher, turning the September decision into a coin flip. Market went green regardless but it did not sustain that long and we saw a delayed reaction to Fed’s comments. 4. Retail earnings were mixed but skewed positive: Gap/Old Navy parent $GAP jumped as much as 15% on an 11th straight quarter of comp-sales growth, while Walmart ($WMT ) quietly settled a federal opioid lawsuit without disclosing terms. Good news for $GAP is good news for $ZETA 5. Software seems officially back. Autodesk ($ADSK) raised guidance on strong Q2 revenue growth and Salesforce ($CRM) jumped on a Q2 beat, while Rubrik ($RBRK) sold off as investors questioned its results. 6. Amazon ($AMZN) gained about 4% after Evercore argued agentic AI could boost its retail growth outlook. 7. Eli Lilly ($LLY) got an FDA nod expanding Mounjaro's use for heart risk reduction. 8. Take-Two ($TTWO) landed a Netflix tie-in ahead of GTA VI. Netflix servers went down briefly as gamers flooded to watch the trailer. RATE HIKE and VIX SPIKE MIGHT BE COMING FOR US THIS SEPTEMBER.

  @Adiofreak Had the same issue with troll attaxks where they send $ and within 24 hrs say they didnt.. They were alerted long ago to these attacks and were supposed to protect me but instead froze my income. Paypal wont even tell u why they are freezing it then ask u to appeal, how can i appeal without knowing why paypal played games to begin with?

  @rays_in_bahrain Yeah I have gotten tickets from people on this app before and haven’t had any issues yet luckily!! paypal goods and services is the only way to go for this tho. It backs you up and will protect your money if you don’t get tickets. Anyone who doesn’t want to use it is 100% a scammer

  Exactly - fiat currency isn't broken because it's hard to use at a store, it's broken because it buys less every time you go to the store. Bitcoin wasn't created to beat PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App *at* value transfer, it was created to beat *what* they transfer

  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.

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal I asked support and they recommended holding off on refunds for now as a recovery effort is underway and should include refunding or crediting incorrect charges. They also said it's a P1 issue and they are targeting resolution for end of day today.

• 
  AlphAi.io (@alphai_io) reported 50 minutes ago

  @SpecialSitsNews The bid was $60.50 a share and PayPal closed at $61.47, above it, which is what let the board call the offer inadequate. The premium being marked down this morning was already gone yesterday. Only after today's fall does $PYPL trade below that bid. Per the Bloomberg report.

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal Same thing happened to us. Double and triple charges for transactions that were processed for subscription renewal through Braintree on Aug 27th. I have been in touch with support. They acknowledged the issue, and responded that the investigation and recovery planning is going.

  @anthonyiseman @StockMarketNerd Short term fine - long term debatable. I'll Never buy another CRM licence ever again - I suspect no other founder will either, large enterprise will double down thinking it can help them become "ai" - The markets react quickly, often too quick.... but answer me this... when I can build a CRM in an afternoon.. (and I have, several times)... why would I pay for it ? Compliance, Security, Infastructure.... I already have all of those with Cloudflare or Google... I'm already paying for it... why would I pay twice.. what you're seeing is the ApplePay launch for PayPal...CD's replacing tapes, Digital camera's replacing film.... change takes time... those that adapt will be fine.. those that dont, die. thats just the nature of the S curve of business. Be under no illusion, Ai is and will change EVERYTHING!

  Update: After my tweet, and after he tried to convince whoever commented on his post to side with him, I sent him a message. He replied with this, then stopped responding altogether. Today, he filed three more claims with @PayPal . I still can't use my account normally because of this situation, and he has simply gone silent. Honestly, I’m fed up; it’s exhausting, especially since I shouldn't even have to be wasting my time posting this or dealing with this issue in the first place

  PayPal down 16% premarket. Not on earnings. On a deal that didn't happen. Advent and Stripe walked away. That's what people underrate about buying a rumor: you stop underwriting a business and start underwriting someone else's decision to sign. Agree or disagree?

  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.

  @Barchart @VladTheInflator The tape says something sharper than the headline. The board turned down $60.50 as too low. Yesterday the stock closed at $61.47, above the price it had refused. That is not merger arbitrage, that is the market pricing a bump nobody had agreed to pay. When the option expires, so does the premium. $53.97 after hours is roughly where the standalone case already was. The interesting part is why the buyers walked. Not price alone: the board flagged regulatory and financing obstacles. Stripe plus PayPal would have been around 63% of online checkout. That deal had an antitrust problem before it had a price problem. The part worth keeping: a $53bn take-private of a business guiding to about $5.38 of adjusted EPS, with $486bn of quarterly payment volume growing 10%, could not get financed in the same month AI infrastructure raised more than that at coupons under 1%. Capital is not scarce. It is directional. At roughly 10x 2027 estimates, PayPal is a turnaround again, and now priced as one.
