Agree! I’m buying ORCL pre earnings Tuesday. Also buying the semiconductors. Plus PYPL and KSS (also earnings Tuesday). Hopefully will have a great week! Market will come roaring back.
I think the market ends in the green tomorrow. The war will be over sooner than later. America has enough oil and is now an exporter. It’s all just a bunch of FUD. Too many great stocks on sale now to pass up! NVDA, AVGO, MU, ORCL (earnings will crush on Tuesday), PYPL, AMZN…these stocks are cheap now. I’m buying 💰
Mainly because they are not trying to time short-term price action just pick winners and drop losers on a long-term timeline. Take moving VRT to the 500 and dropping PYPL (still in the 500) from the 100, they are balancing exposure years down the road, investment timelines.
I love how they waited 1 hour after my calls expired to announce this. At least PYPL waited until Monday to announce their rumored sale after my calls expired.
My issue with TEAM is that their SBC eats up their entire FCF so it's not even a profitable business on any dimension and the growth is slowing. I actually think their products are sticky and I don't believe in the sell off. I was eyeing selling some puts the day it was at 70 but then I took a deeper look at financials and I just can't see a floor here on any foundational basis. Contrast to something like PYPL which is also in a mad selloff but actually makes net income and you can calculate a reasonable clearing price based on comparable PEs of "slow bleed" dying cash cows like comcast.
SPY QQQ red I don't care I have PYPL calls LMAO
PYPL is an entrenched business with crazy FCF. Even if they actually lose revenue somewhat over the next 10 years, with the crazy buybacks they will grow at a pretty great rate.

People, do some research!! PYPL is a steal right now and they have so much they are cooking up
nah I am just trolling, peak euphoria moment I didn't buy any calls/puts the past 2days, just stayed out, but the price action has been so much fun I am chilling with PYPL calls which funnily enough is one of the few green tickers today I bought a call like 30min ago cuz it was obvious pump and I am out already I like to believe I saved the market as I stopped buying (- a permabull)

PYPL should take cue from XYZ and announce 70% layoffs. I am sure 99% of PYPL shareholders are under water.
That's rough. PYPL and NVO are two that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.
Lmao PYPL not getting acquired. They passed another couple of bags over to value investing boys
Someone dump there PYPL bags for sure
Can’t trust Bloomberg they dump the bag for PYPL
Lol they're portfolio was based on VITL and PYPL, both great picks. They should probably give up on stock picking.
\*\*one followup regarding the PYPL report today (that PYPL "not in talk" etc) .. its also a straw man of an article.. look at the Bloomberg article- it never stays Paypal is in official negotiations etc.. and Quite the opposite- insinuates the CEO change is potentially what makes a takeover attempt opportune currently. Articles also clearly illustrate that PYPL Top executives have been worried about a takeover bid (as they know shareholders would approve it regardless if its not beneficial for those top executives) https://preview.redd.it/fllg8f7opvlg1.jpeg?width=888&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=762fbd27fbd9114080d48d108ba5c34cdc407153
Regarding the "report" today... https://preview.redd.it/udbki2nulvlg1.jpeg?width=818&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51178092c7e71db473ecc615b86bfc30b788d28e Paypal Executives knew a takeover bid was coming - which is why they took steps recently to try to prevent a takeover! ....Shareholders approve a takeover bid.. not PYPL executives! Ignore the report that "Paypal is not is talks with anyone" etc. (appear to likely be a stunt to protect a large short position from $54, that is about to get squeezed). .. going forward- Stripe will likely acquire all of PYPL (not parts).. for a minimum equivalent of $75 (likely more)
Haha nobody wants PYPL. Planted story
Fucking Bloomberg man, they floated that PYPL acquisition rumor on behalf of someone who needed to exit a very large position most likely, and now this: [Paypal Stripe Not Currently in Talks](https://www.semafor.com/article/02/26/2026/paypal-stripe-not-currently-in-talks) Mission Accomplished. Market manipulation at its best, only if we had a vigilant SEC...
$PYPL - PAYPAL, STRIPE NOT CURRENTLY IN TALKS:SEMAFOR bring back the KEKW emote lmaoooooooo
what's the PYPL news?
What is your reasoning that it deserves a very high 25x earnings? PYPL is a legacy business that is losing ground to other faster more efficient companies. At best a 15x multiple would be ok, but it seems the market is pricing in risk at 7x. Personally I think there are better investments out there,
Yeah, I build massive PYPL position since few weeks. Another fundamental think: Fintech company Stripe want maybe buy PYPL. So, the price will go higher and higher. 🤗💰
Last time I heard about PYPL I made money shorting them during that “Honey” fiasco. Turned out Honey web add on was scamming everyone who came near it from the consumer all the way to the creators being paid to advertise for them. They are owned by PayPal. Not a great look
PYPL is trading at 7X earnings. It should be trading at 25X. That’s 4X higher. The stock should be trading at $150-$160 per share. Of course Stripe wants to buy them. I bet Google & Apple will look at them also. PayPal is enormous. Has a pristine balance sheet. Fantastic cash flow. Unbelievable assets with Braintree and Venmo. And a massive user base. The stock is SO UNDERVALUED. Redditors should get in on this trade now. The WSB community should be taking this stock to $150-$200 to make any possible acquisition priced correctly. Anything less should be immediately declined b shareholders. This is a generational opportunity to buy a financial behemoth and extremely low values.

CRM going to be the next "but the buyback!" thing on here after PYPL as it gradually goes lower over the next year or two.

PYPL still doing PYPL things
My cat offered 3 kibbles to acquire PYPL I think that’s fair
... I think PYPL will definitely end up being acquired.. and likely by Stripe.. possibly around the $80 range. But regardless of what ends up happening, the rumor alone should be sufficient to squeeze the recent short position that opened around $57..
There is going to be hundreds of billions of dollars spent on this this year. Build a hundred data centers, you build a hundred facilities where everything in it is going to have an upgrade cycle or need replacing. Spending begets spending. Eventually capex will start to come down but I think even then will remain elevated vs history. Mega cap tech names are now going to be some degree of asset heavy companies. This sub has continually tried to call the top for a while now. I remember in 2023 when people were saying on here to invest in PYPL instead of NVDA because NVDA was up a lot and PYPL was cheap. There has been more attempts at top calling on here than idea generation as people have largely kept piling into mega cap tech rather than where mega cap tech is spending and then complaining why mega cap tech is underperforming. When mega cap tech companies come out with earnings and more than one had capex that was 40-50B above estimates, I don't know why people would be looking for the exit in the near-term. You talk about fundamentals - there are stories where companies absolutely can't meet demand. Eventually this will end - I have no idea when but it's not when estimates have capex for a company like Google at $120B and they come out with $175-185B (vs about $90B the year before.)
Thank god I managed to get out from PYPL - I risked it by doubling down to minimise the loss - lost 2k - NEVER Fucking again buying dieing companies
All these PYPL bagholders coming out from under their rocks talking about "they knew it". You got lucky, congrats, take the win and spare me your "thesis"
Companies possibly interested in buying PYPL.. Confirmed interest: Stripe Analyst / media speculation: JPMorgan Chase, American Express, Revolut, private equity firms (Apollo, KKR), Walmart
I dunno, I’ve see. PYPL at very low PE and it seems like it can keep going lower.
WBD was trading at under $8 a share for a while, and is now selling for $30 a share. For PYPL, I think a buyout at $70-80 per share is very feasible if there is enough competition between bidders: - That would be about about 12-14x their annual cash flows. - I think Paypal would offer extra additional value to the right buyer that can offer additional synergies. - Buyouts almost always involve a significant premium over market price to encourage shareholders to approve the deal. A $70-80 buyout would not have been possible months ago, but now that the stock fell to $40, I think most shareholders would happily approve a buyout above $70
PYPL cooking something great
That's normal wallstreet behaviour, their SaaS model is "short as a service". Venmo alone would be worth more than PYPL if it was a hyped up standalone app with 90M users...
Remember when PYPL was $300. Wtf happend.
Long on PYPL and TSLA
That's just insane that a company such as Stripe which just reported $1b annual run rate, could buy PYPL which does north of $30b/year in revenue. I have no skin in the game, but it almost seems some power players are holding PYPL down to steal it cheap. PYPL growth trajectory hasn't been consistent, but deserving of single digit P/E (even after recent runup) is a bit harsh.
PYPL bulls praying this is an acquisition, bears praying it’s just vibes
I can see the formation of a bidding war for the acquisition of $PYPL.
That's not what my PYPL looked like
PYPL also went up Monday about 7%, so is about 15% in 2 days.
For once shorting PYPL was a bad idea, fuck, inversing r/ValueInvesting usually works...
DUDES!! If PYPL is acquired 3 times I will break even =D !!
It’s the year of bidding wars. PYPL and WBD are the two hot chicks apparently.
$PYPL is a steal at these prices. People who buy here will be very happy in a few months.
Stripe can't afford PYPL whole nor would they want that albatross. PYPL has some attractive parts—Braintree, stablecoins, but the rest of the business is crap and Stripe is already killing PayPal's merchant and online business unit.
Whatever WSB says, just do the opposite. WSB and Reddit in general said PYPL was dead and $25 was coming. How can a group of retards be so wrong 100% of the time?
Damn you stripe, I wanted that PYPL DIV at IPO prices. https://preview.redd.it/lo5m0922gilg1.png?width=1284&format=png&auto=webp&s=16b2806c4cb0b351dc195031977296d8df3e02f5
one thing id be careful with is that new PYPL CEO could be on side of vultures and sell this massively profitable company at discount, his track record at HP was dismal.

So PYPL new price target is $60?
PYPL what just happened?
just know that someone out there blinked and saw their PYPL puts get eviscerated
I disagree, Stripe can afford a very good offer on PYPL and the board knows it's a sinking ship even with the new management
PYPL bag holders getting bailout ?
Suspect PYPL rumours will be shenanigans from new CEO, though market presence makes PYPL no brainer buy for anyone wanting big footprint. Either way, good sign for people who chucked a few bucks on a potential turnaround
Absolutely zero chance Stripe buys PYPL imo. Would be a depressing ending for PayPal management to sell right now. Stripe probably just wants the best parts of the business and they obviously just say no.
Elon will make a counter offer #PYPL
PYPL??? Just spiked, something is going on
It's all buyout speculation and it was due for a bounce. It was kind of an easy call, but everyone is so exhausted on PYPL they didn't want to bother.
