Matt Fanning (@fanvestments) reported$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.

The Apex Wire (@ApexWireApp) reported@BullTheoryio PayPal took the deal-break hit after Stripe and Advent walked. Same sector, Klarna's CEO bought 692,506 shares on the open market at $14.37, a $9,949,164 filing. One is a broken bid. The other is a disclosed purchase. Plan status is not in the file.

Mert Ocal (@MertOnMarkets) reported$PYPL — PayPal Holdings Stripe + Advent's ~$50B buyout bid has collapsed (Bloomberg). Shares down 12-15% premarket — a takeover-premium unwind, not an earnings problem. P/E: ~10x, back near the sub-8.5x all-time floor (hit Q1 2026). Business is unchanged — the acquirer walked.

CaptTriage (@CaptTriage) reportedOK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something. PYPL MRNA

T 🇺🇸 (@MadeSLoppy) reported@Adiofreak Long story short, stop reporting your account to paypal. It's not your problem to worry about. Who cares? It sounds like you dug yourself into this hole.

Moodtrack Diary (@MoodtrackDiary) reported@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.

Goblin Capital (@StackedGoblin) reported$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.

Acr37 (@aleccring) reported@Adiofreak PayPal is ******* garbage and useless when trying to track down fraudulent transactions. Switch to Chase. Anytime I call, I speak to American women who are so kind, helpful and personable. Seemed too good to be true but they haven’t fumbled it yet.
