  PayPal is up 30% off the lows. This is great for bag holders. But nobody… and I mean nobody… should be doing victory laps. If your average is $120 and the stock is trading at $60, you’re still down 50%. A message for the “I told you so” gang.

  @zerohedge Any deal for Stripe to buy PayPal would run into major regulatory problems fast.

  $PYPL The Half of PayPal the Market Was Pricing On July 15 Stripe and the investment firm Advent International offered about $53 billion for PayPal, $60.50 a share at a 28 percent premium, with PayPal's board due to meet on July 20 (CNBC). The market had spent two years pricing PayPal as a fading checkout brand. The bid is a sign it was valuing the wrong half of the company. The bearish case is about flow, the checkout button losing ground at the point of sale to Apple Pay, to Shopify, to a dozen others. That decline is real, and it is what the multiple reflects. What it leaves out is the stock of accounts sitting behind the button. PayPal holds more than 400 million funded consumer accounts, Venmo included, and a funded account is not just a logo, it is a stored balance with a linked funding source and a verified identity. This is what makes the bid make sense. The whole industry is moving toward agent commerce, where software does the buying, and an agent cannot spend from nothing. It needs a funded account to draw on, permission to spend it, and an identity behind it. Stripe owns the merchant side of payments and has very few consumer wallets of its own. PayPal is the largest pool of pre-funded consumer accounts outside the banks. A company that owns the merchant rails is not paying a premium and borrowing $50 billion for a checkout button, it is buying the thing it cannot build on its own, a base of accounts that are already funded and ready for an agent to spend from. A 28 percent premium on a company the market had written down as a runoff is the buyer saying, in effect, that the base of accounts is worth more than the flow everyone was tracking. The mispricing, as I read it, is that the market valued the half of PayPal that is shrinking and gave away the half that is scarce. This is a bid and not yet a deal, so the tells are close at hand. Whether the board engages after July 20 or holds out for more will say whether the base is worth what the bidder thinks. A rival suitor would be the market admitting the asset is rare. And the final terms, if there are any, will show who controls the combined accounts and rails, because that, rather than the app, is what an agent economy has to run through.

  @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.

  $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.

  @weary_centurion The offer is absurd in many ways. Your take is one of many, and one clearly wrong. I do have my own valuation metrics, and I value it at 80-100$ stock, even more with the controlling premium. 110-115$ would be an acceptable number. For that number, I would prefer Paypal to cut 90% of the workforce, Elon Style, and see how it goes. It coult triple EPS. Then fix what gets broken. Easy PE play here.

  @liminalisa I think it's interesting you had to pay this way because in PayPal policy most people do this so people can't issue a refund.

  Weary Centurion (@weary_centurion) reported 23 minutes ago

  @ztipme Go on then why is my take wrong? You probably don’t realise I was full port PayPal at one point. I know the business very well. I actually think it’s worth $80-90 per share. So we probably have a more similar view than you think. But you cannot discount the fact the business is declining and is under constant pressure from competitors. It also has a very stubborn, toxic corporate culture which is the biggest problem of all. This is what happens when a good business gets mismanaged for a long period of time. The moves taken under Schulman between 2015-2023 broke the company permanently. Alex Chriss could have turned it around imo if he had taken over earlier in 2021 maybe. But it was too late and too much damage has been done. I am open to opposing views though

  I analyze the RISKS on popular stocks so you don't have to Part 10 Ok so everyone's talking about $PYPL today Up 15% and holding most of it Stripe and Advent just offered $60.50 a share, valuing it above $53 B But before you chase this pop..here's what could still go wrong The offer is a 28% premium to Tuesday's close and it's backed by real financing, about $50b committed from banks PayPal's board hasn't said yes to anything yet They're meeting as soon as July 20 to even discuss it Michael Burry, who owns the stock, already called the offer too low and said any real bid should be well above intrinsic value to justify giving up control If Stripe and Advent don't come back higher... the board can just say no and this goes nowhere No deal means giving most of this back PayPal was down 18% YTD before this news..squeezed by Apple Pay, Block, and buy now pay later competitors eating into growth None of that changed today If the deal falls apart...the stock likely drifts back toward where it was Tuesday

  $PYPL is now up 32% since this analysis. The thesis was never that PayPal would suddenly become exciting again. It was that the market had priced a real cash flow business like it was broken. Sometimes the opportunity is not in finding perfection. It is in finding where expectations became too pessimistic.

  Wee Stocks (@WeeStocks) reported 40 minutes ago

  One of the biggest reversals in tech: PayPal was valued at around $350 billion at its 2021 peak. Now Stripe and private-equity firm Advent have reportedly offered just over $53 billion to buy it. The logic is easy to see. Stripe is deeply embedded behind online businesses, while PayPal brings Venmo, its familiar checkout button and 439 million active accounts. Together, they would process roughly $3.7 trillion in payments each year. The reported offer is $60.50 per share, around 28% above PayPal’s previous closing price. But this is not a completed deal, and PayPal has not accepted it. From here, $PYPL is partly a takeover trade: a higher bid would bring more upside, while failed talks could send the shares back down quickly. Interesting thing is that PayPal is sitting at roughly 10% below offer price, meaning that investors are pricing in possible rejection of the bid. I wonder how it will go down.

  US indices all closed green last night, but same as ever, the calm tape hid a split market. the hottest name was PayPal: a reported ~$53B takeover bid from Stripe + Advent ($60.50/share) sent it +17% on record volume. the twist everyone's pointing at: "the real prize is Venmo." the coldest corner was AI hardware. Dell led down -9.8% (touched -14% intraday), and SanDisk, Micron, HPE, Supermicro and AAOI (-13%) all got dumped with it. but the selling stayed concentrated in high-beta AI hardware, and mega-caps like Apple and Google masked it, so the Nasdaq still closed green. and the extreme end: Lucid ripped +29% after denying a report it was weighing going private or Chapter 11. Hong Kong ran hot too, Hang Seng +1.4%, Tencent +3.9%, Meituan +5.3%. bottom line: the index looks calm, but underneath the money's swapping seats fast, some chasing buyout targets, some fleeing AI hardware, some betting on a distressed bounce.

  Folks,... PSA here. If you are still getting emails from: Geek Squad Norton Anti-Virus PayPal McAfee Best Buy Wal Mart, all telling you about money being taken from your account for anything, 1. look at the email address. That is a big indication it is not legit 2. go right to your bank account. You will see that the money has not gotten withdrawn 3. delete the email and send to spam. If you get a call from someone saying they are a relative, in trouble and need money, hang up and call family members directly. More than likely it's a scam. Calls from the: IRS Social Security Administration Other Governmental Agencies They are scams. No Governmental agency will call you and threaten to imprison you. It's a scam. Job offers via text or phone call, especially telling you to apply over the phone. Scam EZ Pass will not text you. All of their toll violations come via snail mail. US Postal Service and UPS, will not text you that there is a package that is undeliverable. Its a scam Highly recommend you follow @ScammerPayback and watch his youtube channel. Too many people are still falling for these scams. Even though they are years old scams. Too many people also losing their lifes savings as well. Please watch out for those you know that could be vulnerable to these things.

  Stripe + Advent offered to BUY $PYPL for $60.50 per share, that’s over $53 billion total and about 28% higher than the current price! It looks like a great deal for Stripe/Advent (they get tons of customers). But $60.50 feels low, PayPal might be worth closer to $90–$100. 
Still, PayPal should probably accept because growth has been slow and they’re struggling to fix it alone. 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: PayPal shares jump 19% on the news.
