  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

  Bloomberg: PayPal just mapped out a plan to cut about 20% of its workforce. The cut could remove 4,500+ jobs from a base of about 23,800 employees, with management targeting at least $1.5B in savings over 2-3 years. The company’s problem is not that people stopped paying online, but that more of the valuable checkout layer is being squeezed by Stripe, Adyen, Apple Pay, Klarna, and other payment systems that sit closer to merchants or consumers. PayPal still processes huge volume, but its transaction margin dollars, the money left after processing costs, are expected to slightly decline this year, which means growth in payment activity is not cleanly turning into better profit. New CEO Enrique Lores is basically saying PayPal became too heavy, too complex, and too slow to execute, so the turnaround starts with fewer layers, lower costs, and more spending on modernizing the tech stack. --- bloomberg. com/news/articles/2026-05-05/paypal-plans-job-cuts-as-fintech-s-new-ceo-pursues-turnaround-strategy

  I am getting bullish on $PYPL. I am down big on this one. I bought this position before I went on twitter. It's down 50% for me. But as you have come to know, I don't sell my losers either. Why am I bullish? PYPL is now open to spinning off Venmo. PayPal (the app) and Venmo are the #1 and #2 payment apps on smartphones. Payments are big business and there are a lot of competitors. PayPal has share but is getting beat by Apple and Google. But Venmo has a niche in payments. Small payments, group payments, very small business. It's social and users send money to people versus just businesses. It would be a good fit for somebody. I think that somebody is $CRCL or $COIN.

  @TimHannan Why? If he can make the money, why do you care? Are you so jealous and insecure of other’s success you have to tear them down? Maybe if you had created PayPal, Space X and Tesla, just to name the big companies, maybe you could be as rich as him. But we all know you won’t so you whine about it and probably want to confiscate it. Pathetic.

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 40 minutes ago

  $PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 — beat on revenue and EPS but the guide is the problem. Revenue $8.4B, beat $8.05B estimate, up 7% year over year EPS $1.34, beat $1.27 estimate Total payment volume $464B, up 11% year over year Active accounts 439M, up 1% year over year $1.5B cost savings plan over 2 to 3 years via AI efficiency and job cuts Q2 guide is the red flag — EPS expected to decline approximately 9%. That is a hard miss on expectations. FY guide also shows low single digit EPS decline. A company beating Q1 but guiding earnings lower for the full year is going to get sold. Revenue growth is real. The earnings trajectory is going the wrong way. Not financial advice.

  $FINX looks like a contrarian fintech play. It is down ~8%, while valuation has compressed to ~22x P/E — near the low end of its 10Y range and well below the fintech category median. Top holdings like PayPal, Block, Coinbase, Robinhood and SoFi still have upside if sentiment stabilizes. Messy basket, but the setup looks more reasonable now.
