I've been negative on PYPL on here since it was discussed as something people should buy instead of NVDA in 2023 because "it was cheap and NVDA was expensive." The "branded checkout button" doesn't have a moat. I've continually brought up the fact that much of the theme broadly has been terrible - nobody ever mentions that XYZ has done similarly poorly over the last 5 years and the theme ETFs (FINX) have, too. If the theme is broadly not what it was 4-5 years ago (commoditization, among other issues) I'm still not seeing why PYPL is so compelling. Maybe it eventually finds a floor, but 1) people have tried to call that floor on here for 3 years now and have been wrong and 2) when it eventually finds that floor, what keeps it from wandering around those levels for years rather than the bounce people hope? You mention HPQ given the new CEO and shareholder returns. That stock offers a sizable yield and the share price is where it was in 2017, 2011, 2007 and 2000. People have kept talking up the buyback. Buybacks can be done poorly and buybacks for something that is potentially a melting ice cube is not compelling. The "but the buybacks" refrain - I'd rather a cheap oil company with assets buying back. In terms of value, most of the last 5-6 years has been a market of narratives and this doesn't have one - cheap and maturing has to be cheaper than ever before before getting some interest and even then no guarantee of a V-shaped recovery, L-shaped also possible. Maybe this will get more attention if value works again, but waiting for that to happen over the last 2-3 years to potentially benefit stuff like this has been considerable opportunity cost. Good luck - genuinely. I'm not someone looking to dunk on people, just trying to have the kind of back-and-forth discussions that used to be had on here.
Even company insiders seem to believe the stock is shit they are all selling [$PYPL](https://insideranalytics.ai/insider-trading/companies/PYPL)
Some of the tech names that people talk about on this sub (like MSFT) are not doing well. The stuff that people don't talk about (like LITE) or only talked about well after the move has occurred (MU, SNDK) can't meet demand. There used to be so much more of a variety of names discussed on here years ago, now it's so heavily Mag 7 or "the names that people keep turning to when they don't want to buy Mag 7" (PYPL, down another 18% yesterday) or a couple of selected reddit speculative names that really haven't changed much in the last couple years. I'm not concerned about an AI bubble popping, I am concerned about the magnitude of selling software on AI concerns having some degree of truth to it. "Are you guys pulling out?" Nope. I am further emphasizing "where the money is being spent", which as I've said before on here has worked a lot better over the last 2-3 years than betting on who is doing the spending.
The idiots over at r/ValueInvesting shilled every single piece of shit stock like PYPL NVO ADBE DUOL UNH for no reason other than cope/because they are down from ATH instead of talking about the one stock that is down from ATH that is rocketing (up 20% rn) ENPH (Enphase Energy).
Agree. Stop loss orders are risky because of what you mentioned and if you intend to buy and hold a volatile equity like Boeing BA it would be difficult to use a stop loss order in this sense. But PayPal PYPL is not Boeing and having fallen by 20 pct on Tuesday a second 20 pct overnight decline is unlikely. Not impossible of course.
Unfortunately I did and it cost me $30k down the drain. Like I said, I’m onwards to SNAP and done with PYPL for now though.
Is that a joke? PYPL’s board fired Alex and replaced him with Enrique, who led HP with the stock down 20% last year? No wonder PYPL dropped significantly after the news. PayPal needs a tech ceo who understands the tech trend and does innovation. Its core businesses are shrinking.
Never understand why value investing reddit thinks NVO is a value stock, while it is clearly a one trick pony whose trick is being learnt by others. PYPL is cheap
Having HOOD, SOFI, PYPL, COIN, and BMNR all in one portfolio is insanity.
I said it now, didn't I? I didn't catch the bottom in PYPL, I'm down almost 25%. But this is normal in value investing. I was also down almost 30-40% in total in WBD at some point, but eventually went to gain 200%. Read some Buffett.
The stock market sensei analysis doesn't look good: [https://www.stockmarketsensei.net/Dashboard/pages/pro/dashboard.php?symbol=PYPL](https://www.stockmarketsensei.net/Dashboard/pages/pro/dashboard.php?symbol=PYPL) , shows it going to $29
bruh the PYPL timing 💀
I just peeked over at r/ValueInvesting and saw at least 4 new threads trying to convince people to buy PYPL. You can't make it up. I see less transparent bagholders on the penny stock subs.
I honestly think, based on my experience with PYPL, that you’re just going to lose more. This company is toast.
I meant like SPY 1% move can mean like 3-4% in regular stocks, so if you are playing something high IV for short term like SNDK, MU, GLD, PYPL, and prob AMD tmrw, u'll get to make more IF you get it right. Even if you have 10 contracts in SPY basically, each contract changes less in value compared to individual stocks.
I mean, revenue is actually growing, just not fast enough. PayPal has a great business, and changing up the CEO might be what they need. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/PYPL/paypal-holdings/revenue
Anthropic, OpenAI are major threats to SaaS EU moving to native payment systems, other payment systems are being introduced. Take the L, can’t see PYPL recovering for a while
FOMO, It looks attractive, but it is a FOMO, see how CSCO was and how PYPL now. [https://imgur.com/j6D97zs](https://imgur.com/j6D97zs)
I’d say PYPL is tempting for leaps. But so was NFLX…and fool me once….
If crypto does revolutionize the financial system you can best best believe fraud and scams will be rampant amongst companies like PYPL and HOOD. Worst part is it will be sanctioned by the government just like the GME halt was.
Lmao, retards on value sub are saying to add to PYPL as its at a discount rn. Now, go look at the 5Y chart.
Tomorrow morning, I will start fresh and pick fights with "value" and stocks sub elites with their sophisticated PYPL, UNH, ADBE, NKE portfolio.
PYPL lookin strong.
Out of everything, why PYPL? Do you even use their product? Genuinely curious.
I forgot how many shares outstanding PYPL has. It still has a market cap of over $40 billion. It's going to be a fun ride to 0.
I got a giant fucking helping of unrealized losses today. I rolled my 27Jan 55C’s out to 27Dec 55C’s. My April and Jan 65C’s are written off and being left for dead. Nothing to do now but try to ignore the PYPL lines for the next year.
Yea it was stupid but the position also fucked me man PYPL misses on earnings which should essentially be their best quarter announces new ceo without no warnings lost 90 percent on options with 200 days till expiration
I have MSFT but it couldve been worse like holding PYPL NVO ADBE
Important to note that stop-loss orders only protect you when the market is open during working hours. So PYPL tanking 17% overnight would not have protected those who had stop-loss in the low 50s. Stop-loss is great and I recommend people use that option. But important to understand it.
In what world would you buy PYPL calls?
Top posts are hilarious. "This sub's favorite stocks got absolutely hammered..." "How do I sue this sub?" "Be careful out there, everyone. I had 8 shares of $PYPL in my car and someone broke in and left 600 more"
B/c PayPal revenue & earnings have been falling YOY since 2022 and they are spending their remaining revenues poorly. If they are just going to burn thru their declining cashflows then at least return that cash to investors as dividends instead of buying back more of their overpriced stock. It's called a value trap where you are chasing bad money with new good money. **PayPal has spent $21.5 billion in buybacks since 2022, and the stock price is still flat!** PayPal [$PYPL](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PYPL/) is a very intriguing case in which we can assess why huge amounts of money used for buybacks do not always work. Indeed, PayPal has spent $21.5 billion in the last 4 years, counting what is being spent for that purpose in 2025, and yet the stock price has been almost flat in all that period.
AXON, PYPL, CRM, NOW, INTU, and NFLX. Sold a round lot of PLTR to buy LEAPS on all these. I should take a few months break from checking the market now, opening up the treasure box in April.
Well the main issue with that is the fact that PYPL still makes money. Elon has never liked companies like that.
I have to be honest. I thought PYPL would go up
sorry bro thats my bad, you see what happen was i went long on PYPL when it hit its support level, the same support level thats been there for the last 2 years, and thats when the stock totally tanked. My fault. Luckily I only bought 50 shares. https://preview.redd.it/pleslwq8ldhg1.png?width=3632&format=png&auto=webp&s=7cff310f515e6f864b6e081ce95bea37894d7099
PYPL’s most turned into a puddle.
Today, I bought some PYPL on the 20% pullback. Tonight, I listened to an analysis on their earnings and after I heard the anticipated decline in Q1, I sold it for a little profit.
You know what I hate... PYPL is kind of approaching "why the fuck not" territory. Bad thoughts. Go away.
I wish I'd known Nancy sold her PYPL bags last month.
Just in: Elon Musk offers to buy $PYPL at $420.69 a share, to show that he was the ultimate winner of the paypal mafia
The dead cat via PYPL is gonna bounce about an inch of the ground huh
I was gonna say it’s okay, PYPL will come back sooner or later. Then realized it’s options. GG
You're 17, you have car payments, and you got PYPL options? In any case, it's a good time to experience some life lessons. You'll be OK.
So you're telling me PYPL is not a buy at $42 ?
For earnings there are massive put walls around $70 and lower, massive multi-leg puts. I just followed the whales to be honest, I saw the same pattern with PYPL and folks arguing “oh it’s so beaten up how it can even go down more “ and we saw what happened. Obviously I’m not comparing PYPL with Uber but these massive walls of puts sometimes dictate a lot of pressure on the earnings post movement. Got just 3 78 puts for March, will sell immediately if it dips, if it goes against me that’s it, I will take the L. I think it’s a strong company with very low P/E but momentum is negative right now
I don't think your strategy is working. Consider buying sector or country focused ETFs. If you must buy individual companies consider placing stop loss orders. I bought PYPL today and immediately placed a stop loss order at $39/share. If it falls I will take a small loss and move on.
So many stocks are slaughtered, it’s wild. SNOW, SHOP, AMD, NVO, PYPL Wild.
— \ \ | <~ PYPL \ \ |___
I got puts - Saw so many whales on the puts side. I did the same on PYPL and it worked, so tried again
> they must be feasting today over at valueinvesting, with their great picks NVO and PYPL Typical redditor wouldn't know how to value a stock if their life savings depended on it. Guess that means stocks never go on discount and rebound eventually. That never happens either.
I bought PYPL back in 2022 and it’s been killing me ever since
My PYPL position must've missed the memo
I will full port in PYPL idc anymore
I still got hope for NVO, but I ain’t touchin’ no PYPL, UNH (or SNAP)
Anything except PYPL, that stock is toast unless they change their model

What happened with PYPL?
Below the real money but ahead of PYPL
I may have lost $5k today but at least im not holding PYPL or NVO 🤣🤣
I actually feel so bad for PYPL holders lol. Like, this piece of shit company has every god damn opportunity there is to be an absolute powerhouse in finance because they're already global, known by pretty much everyone and have more than enough cash to dump into something that can grow massively. But nah, just increase fees on people every year and do absolutely fucking nothing else to grow.
Some of you have PYPL in their port and it shows.
Anyone buying PYPL calls?
Look at the stocks they've been shilling on that sub. PYPL NVO ADBE DUOL etc, and now we're in earnings season
There's gotta be some degenerate on r/ValueInvesting who yolo'd into PYPL, got destroyed, and then decided surely the pharm industry should be ok, yolo'd into NVO, and lost 50% of their port in a single day.
lol ADBE NVO PYPL NVO NFLX Forget inverse WSB just inverse ValueInvesting
oh cmon now, nvo hasn't performed nearly as terribly as PYPL
Jeez, was PYPL named in the Epstein files or something.
To anyone who has had their money in RDDT, PYPL, NVO or ADBE they have like 3 lost decades worth of losses
There's gotta be a lot of retards on r/ValueInvesting who yolo'd into PYPG (2x PYPL) thinking there's no way it could go lower and blew half their port in a single day.
Imagine buying PYPL shares like a boomer at $300 because options are too risky
Half of r/ValueInvesting got wiped out this week for how hard they shilled PYPL NVO ADBE.
I will do you one better. I bought PYPL just hours ago of their earnings. It's not been a day yet and I am down 20%.
PYPL is getting delisted at this rate
Which dip would you buy: UNH, NVO, PYPL, MSFT
#PYPL Green EOD, I MEAN END OF YEAR, I mean END OF DECADE
they must be feasting today over at valueinvesting, with their great picks NVO and PYPL
Will you people stop buying stocks that peaked a decade ago That goes for all you PYPL retards too
PYPL has 14 billion in cash. Someone could buy it for 40 billion and effectively pay 26 billion for it
I REALLY want to buy PYPL but will wait until Thursday
PYPL was already down 25% from the Summer high by the time she sold.
Who knew the entire market would react so poorly to PYPL earnings. Everything is just drilling

Elon just needs to tweet that SpaceX is buying PYPL and it will rocket. No one will ask how any of that makes sense because cult will make up reasons
Some of these people are invested in NVO, RDDT and PYPL
if you bought and held PYPL since inception(2015) you would be up 10%!
