PayPal Surprises with Strong Earnings | Business and Finance News

PayPal just smashed earnings expectations with $1.38 EPS and higher-than-anticipated revenue, fueled by a 9% surge in payment volume — sending its stock soaring. The company also upgraded its full-year EPS forecast to $5.38, up from earlier guidance hinting at flat or slight growth. While management sidestepped takeover rumors, they left the door open for deals that boost shareholder value. Despite reportedly rejecting a $53B bid from Advent and Stripe — seen by some as a lowball — PayPal’s stock remains resilient, offering leverage for future negotiations. Investors now eye potential upside from either a deal or the company’s cost-cutting and tech upgrade strategy — though a deal’s absence could trigger short-term dips, making dollar-cost averaging a smart play.
