Stripe and Advent Eye PayPal Deal | Spokane News

Stripe and private equity giant Advent International are circling PayPal with a $65-per-share offer, valuing the company at over $53 billion — a move that could unite two titans of digital payments and unlock $3.7 trillion in annual transaction volume. With Stripe’s merchant-focused engine and PayPal’s 430 million consumer users, the deal could supercharge Stripe’s wallet ambitions while giving PayPal a much-needed strategic boost. Though PayPal’s new CEO may think the bid’s too low, analysts suggest it could climb to $70. Amid rising competition and slowing growth, this potential merger signals a bold step in fintech’s race to dominate the next era of online finance.
