  PayPal Slumps After Buyout Talks Collapse: What Just Happened & Why It Matters PayPal just lost its lifeline — and the stock got obliterated. Stripe and Advent International walked away from a $53 billion buyout. The stock crashed 12-17% in a single session, from $62 to $52. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley had committed the money. Now it's dead. What Actually Happened In July, Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 per share — a 28% premium. PayPal's board wanted $70. The deal died. Talks revived in mid-August. Then on August 27, Bloomberg dropped the bomb: collapsed for good. The stock went from $62 to $50.98 in pre-market. A $10 billion wipeout before breakfast. Why They Walked Away - Price gap: PayPal wanted $70, buyers offered $60.50. Too far apart. - Regulatory risk: A combined Stripe-PayPal would process $3.7 trillion annually. The FTC and EU would force divestitures of Braintree or Venmo. Why the Market Crushed the Stock PayPal's entire rally this quarter was built on deal hope. The stock was up 40%+ since June. Not because earnings were great — because investors thought Stripe would rescue them. Now? The rescue is gone. And PayPal has to face ugly reality: - Revenue growing just 4% - Active accounts flat at 439 million - The "PayPal button" moat eroding as Apple Pay and Google Pay take over The stock fell back to pre-rumor levels. All the deal premium? Evaporated. What PayPal Actually Is Today - Market cap: ~$52 billion (was $360 billion in 2021) - Revenue: $33.2 billion, growing 4% - Free cash flow: $6.4 billion - Stock: From $300+ in 2021 to $52 today This is a company that prints cash but can't grow. It processes nearly $2 trillion in payments but trades at 8-10x earnings. The market sees terminal decline. The Fintech Valuation Warning Stripe is worth $159 billion private. PayPal is $52 billion public. Yet PayPal processes similar volume and generates $6 billion in free cash flow. The difference? Stripe is growing. PayPal is not. Investors pay 50x revenue for growth. They pay 8x earnings for stagnation. PayPal is the latter. If the original fintech giant trades like a utility, what does that mean for every other fintech unicorn? What Investors Should Watch 1. Don't chase M&A rumors — PayPal rallied 40% on deal hope, gave it all back in a day. 2. Fintech ETFs are risky — ARKF, FINX hold PayPal. When the bellwether collapses, the whole basket suffers. 3. Indian fintech fundraising gets harder — Paytm, PhonePe, Razorpay watch this closely. If PayPal trades at 8x earnings, why should Indian fintechs trade at 30x? Bottom Line PayPal went from "takeover target" to "turnaround story" overnight. The $53 billion bid proved it has value. The collapse proved that value isn't enough. For 20 years, PayPal was the king of online payments. Today, it's a $52 billion company fighting for relevance. When your best hope is getting acquired and even that fails, you have a problem. The fintech graveyard is full of companies that were once "too big to fail." PayPal isn't there yet. But it's walking in that direction. Is PayPal a value trap at $52, or a genuine bargain?

  @JimManahan Receiving payments restricts your account. If you use PayPal for purchases meaning money going out from your linked cards, then there's no problem. Receiving payments from clients is a different discussion, especially when your account is new.

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  $PYPL: Acquisition hopes dashed; retail investors debate "value trap" vs. "undeserved sell-off." Review of the previous trading session: PYPL plunged 12.7% last Friday, ranking among the worst performers on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Capital that had flowed in based on acquisition rumors during the previous quarter exited en masse; discussions on X shifted from "how much would Stripe pay?" to "what is PayPal actually worth as a standalone business?" (Source: Reuters) Key Event: Stripe and Advent reportedly abandoned plans to acquire PayPal; the prior offer was around $60.50 per share (implying a valuation of ~$53 billion), but negotiations collapsed due to disagreements over pricing, financing, and regulatory issues. Bullish Views: PayPal’s valuation is already significantly lower than that of most payment industry peers; Venmo, Checkout, and its crypto business still hold value for potential spin-offs. The new CEO is driving business restructuring and cost controls, meaning future earnings recovery need not rely solely on acquisitions. The current valuation may still attract interest from other private equity firms or payment companies. Bearish Views: The recent rally was driven primarily by M&A premiums; following the deal's collapse, the stock must be repriced based on fundamentals. PayPal’s branded checkout market share continues to be squeezed by competitors like Apple Pay and Shop Pay. Without a rebound in revenue growth, the low valuation could persist; one cannot assume a market bottom simply because the stock has fallen sharply. Trading Strategy: Avoid trying to catch a rebound immediately after the initial sharp drop; first, observe whether the price stabilizes in the $52–$54 range. A recovery above $57–$58 is required to confirm that panic selling has been absorbed; until then, it is better to watch from the sidelines rather than taking a heavy position in hopes of another buyer emerging.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.
