You could had said the same thing when PYPL was at peak. You never know.
Comparing HOOD and MSFT to PYPL is definitely not retarded
There is a rumour that GME is going to buy PYPL.
So was PYPL shockingly, I’m good though
I am putting more into PYPL because I am a degen gambler
Bro I'm pointing out what management said, I literally said this. Guess I'm an idiot for believing management. I'll continue to trust zero recommendations from this pro NVO, PYPL, ADBE, thread.
PYPL puts in place. Time for drilling
We have 100+ new software stocks that will behave like PYPL now.
What’s this PYPL rumor? Naw. Just acquire WBD. Throw a hat in.
Was PYPL interest just fake news?
Kinda like how PYPL takeover news dropped out of nowhere today and call side was jacked ready for the pump.
NVO, ADBE, PYPL…. The value investing sub has the reverse midas touch. Everything they recommend turns to dust
You can see looking at Feb 27 calls for PYPL that some people made out with over a million in profits from insider trading calls with $41/42 strike price. And they'll just get away with it. There's never been a better time to make money following weird option flows than under 🥭 regime
People buying hype picks like $SLV and $PYPL again... No wonder you guys lose shit tons sometimes
Knowing the PYPL BOD they will find a way to screw it up.
It's a list of the best day trades you could have possibly made today across all the trades possible in the market. If you bought PYPL $46C at 10:20 AM (EST) and sold at 12:36 PM (EST) you would have made 5.1K%. So like if you invested $500 for example... https://preview.redd.it/5lg8c9rvyalg1.png?width=1401&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc50a0c1974533816d0c0f36ad1a3075f0f41778

PYPL actually profits from higher rates because they pocket the interest earned on customer balances. Declining interest rates are actually a major reason why PYPL guided for lower earnings in 2026.
The subreddit finally turned bearish on PYPL when it hit $40, that's how I knew it was time to buy. Always inverse Reddit.
PYPL [https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-23/paypal-attracts-takeover-interest-after-stock-slump](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-23/paypal-attracts-takeover-interest-after-stock-slump)
Spent a large portion of my week last week in and out of PYPL research. Apparently the big boys also noticed how mis-priced it is...
To make this deal happen, Cohen would likely need: 1. The $9B "Down Payment": GameStop uses its entire war chest to buy a ~20% stake in PayPal on the open market or via a private deal. 2. Stock-for-Stock Merger: GameStop issues new shares to PayPal shareholders at a ratio (e.g., 2 shares of "New GME" for every 1 share of PYPL). This would be highly dilutive but would immediately create a $50B+ Market Cap entity. 3. The "Gmerica" Bank Rebrand: By merging, GameStop gains PayPal’s infrastructure and its pending Bank Charter application. This pivots the business from "selling games" to "the plumbing of the digital economy."
PYPL is actually one they’ve been “advising” against lately. They’re all in on NVO, you should check and see how that one’s doing to see just how fully regarded that sub is.
PYPL like VZ a few weeks ago were ultimate retail bets. Big companies, solid income and a new CEO incoming. Instead guys on three digit ports chase Musk & co
PYPL needs to be taken over. The market hates this stock lmao
A company like PYPL at these prices and new CEO incoming, like VZ a few months ago. These are the perfect set ups for retail. Just dont hold for too long or cheap call a few months out. No brainer tbh
NYSE LI/LD RULES: stock will be auto-halted on a ±10% move UNLESS IT'S $PYPL, THEN WE HALT AT +4% BECAUSE COME ON
Wow - good thing I have PYPL calls
PYPL looks like it’s about to pop again
$PYPL is clearly undervalued, rumors aside, strong assets and market position make this one to watch
Speaking of PYPL, I remember last year when Walgreens was voting to go private all the retail bagholders were screeching not to vote in favor because the buyout price still meant closing their positions in the red. It ended up getting passed with like 96% of the vote because most of the shares were held by institutions lol.
They have inexplicably sucked for a long time. I owned some PYPL for a years and it was total dogshit. It had every reason to go up but they just been struggling for what seems like ever.
Got April PYPL 50 calls randomly last week currently 200% up. hold or sell the volatility spike?
Still holdin that PYPL? Cause if so, nobodies cryin for ya.
Imagine if the PYPL buyer is Elon Musk for his everything app 😂
PYPL is up because I started back using its pay in 4 payment option
My LEAP calls are down. I love how everyone else is up on PYPL calls except me.
well that is convenient because its growth has been non existent recently. \~ PYPL Bag holder.
Feels more like rumor-fueled volatility than a real takeout setup. That said, at these levels PYPL is trading like a no-growth story - if sentiment shifts even slightly, the bounce could be sharp.
Who you think buying PYPL? Apple?
lol PYPL jumping 10% on a rumor. Who’s paying $40 billion for a company in a crowded sector and zero moat?
Should I sell my PYPL calls now
I could care less what PYPL does...but if another company is willing to purchase PYPL for a premium....i'm on board for a few $$ gain
No one will touch $PYPL with a 10 foot pole, typical Bloomberg fake news story to get some big money bagholders some exit liquidity. There has not been a single Bloomberg takeover rumor that has come true in the last several years. They always qualify their shit with something like this: "Buyer interest in PayPal is still at a preliminary stage and may not lead to a transaction, the people cautioned."

PYPL is a bargain right now...super cheap...bloomberg/reuters reporting their are rumours about a potential takeover at these prices.
Same post every year, only PYPL is 50% lower than the last time it was "this cheap."
PYPL - Takeover interest reported - Reuters/bloomberg reporting...fucker is mooning!
are you telling me PYPL saved the market from drilling
My picks were ORCL, NVO, PYPL, you're welcome.
alright PYPL, go to 50 today and you'll make me a happy camper :)
All the PYPL news: "Sign up now for your class action lawsuit if your were a shareholder" The PYPL action: 10% stock price gain *in a single candle* I think I know where that Board of Peace $10bn is going
PYPL said they are selling off their assets during their last conference call.
So who is taking over PYPL, all news outlets paywalled…
CVNA should buy PYPL 🤣
Tell me why I shouldn't throw some meme money on OTM PYPL position in anticipation for a takeover announcement
what’s going on with PYPL🎈
There's a 100% chance that this PYPL rumor was put out there by management so they can dump shares.
Who the hell would buy PYPL?
PYPL insiders swimming in money
r/Valueinvesting will baghold NVO & PYPL to zero lmao
NVO and PYPL same ballpark omg, both reached 40$ Value investors in shambles
A bunch of them probably sold their PYPL for a massive loss so they could buy the NVO “dip.” RIP.
> Looking at service now, compelling investment. The issue I have with SaaS is that the thesis on here for all of these things seems to be "look how much it's down" and that's not a thesis - ask the people on here who have kept on about how PYPL is "cheap" while the shares have eroded for the last 3 years. You have to be very selective and have a specific thesis that "AI isn't going to disrupt this company because (fill in the blank.)" "It's cheap" (cheap can get cheaper.) "It's down a lot" (can go down a lot more.) If some of these names truly cratered, people on here wouldn't want them. If they just erode/gradually wander lower over the next year or two you're going to have a year or two of people continually trying to call the bottom. In the near term, they're all oversold and the long ai/short software pair is overdone, but a bounce shouldn't necessarily be taken as validation imo. There are SaaS names that will ultimately be fine, there are going to be names that are going to face a continual struggle - including some large names and people can't base the thesis on what the company has been, it has to be looking forward. ADBE is probably not a zero, but there was a time where it was the primary game in town. Looking forward it will be one of many and a far more competitive environment. Additionally, does Adobe is primarily seat based pricing in a world where for something like an ad agency, less people will likely be required to do the same tasks. Does Adobe shift towards volume pricing entirely? Even so, they're going to have to be competitive vs other options. Lastly, SaaS names were expensive because everyone loved the SaaS business model. People see all these names cratering and jump to the extremes of "they're all going to zero" or "ai won't disrupt SaaS" - the reality is somewhere in the middle. They're not all going to zero and there will be some disruption. The thing becomes they were all expensive to some degree and when concerns/questions about the future start happening, you get a massive re-rating. It's not that (fill in the blank SaaS) is necessarily a zero because of how the recent selling has been, it's "what is the right valuation in a world where AI could disrupt it in some degree?" and the market is trying to find that.
#the US markets are entering a lost decade. It will be like the PYPL chart from 2015 except for SPY
That last paragraph hits different - going all in after getting wrecked on PYPL, SNAP and HOOD is peak WSB energy right there The thesis actually sounds solid though, especially with that analyst disconnect and the short interest probably being sky high after that 50% drop. Just maybe don't bet the farm again if you're already down bad from those other plays
> went in with all I had for PYPL, SNAP and HOOD before their earnings Thanks for sharing that, I'll short HIMS
I lost a little more than that on PYPL, HOOD and SNAP earnings. Now I can’t decide if I should take my chances with HIMS tomorrow or if I should hold SNAP shares until they recover 50 %.
> I went in with all I had for PYPL, SNAP and HOOD before their earnings. I lost every time. This is my chance to recoup my losses. Hims will save me. Yea, maybe repeat that tactic a fourth time will make it...
Some idiots are still doing that with PYPL. A grim example of the sunk cost fallacy
LUMN but this was a while back when they still had a large dividend. Bought at $10ish and they fell to a little under $2. I held through it and dumped it all eventually around $6-7. I learned that investors get very upset when a company cuts dividends. More recently….PYPL. I bought some shares at $67ish and then added to the position as it fell but after it tanked to the 40s last earnings, i just gave up and dumped my position. Oops. Not sure if I learned my lesson because Im still tempted to hop back in again. Most of my blunders in stocks have been selling stuff too early rather than losing heaps on a stock tanking.
Now just add to it PYPL and BYND calls and you can declare yourself a true regard!
You bought puts. It's always puts. Or calls on shit cos like ADBE, PYPL, or etc. What was it?
They are great value like FISV, LRN, PYPL and DUOL
I have been buying PYPL options for years None printed
I've been researching this off and on for the past few days. I'm extremely tempted to toss some capital at PYPL. Massively profitable, compressed valuation, massive buybacks, tokenization of assets structure preparation in play - PYUSD, transition to rapid checkouts with fastlane, etc. If paypal finds a way to somehow remain relevant to the end user it's game-on again. The only thing holding me back on investing atm is that I'm not sure how they plan on regaining traction with the end user... particularly young users who default to applepay, etc. how is PayPal going to target the next generation of spenders and capitalize on their habits? As soon as I know that, I'll invest. Right now i'm tempted but not quite at the pull the trigger level...
Klarna have all the same challenges as PYPL but nowhere near fundamentals imo
When you look at Klarna valuation vs PYPL it is crazy, tho thos new guy will need fresh ideas
