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.

r/valueinvesting thinks it's a conspiracy that some of their most talked about stocks dropped 50% over time NVO, PYPL, LULU, ADBE, GAMB, TTD, DUOL [https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1rcuopv/nvo\_pypl\_lulu\_adbe\_gamb\_ttd\_duol/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1rcuopv/nvo_pypl_lulu_adbe_gamb_ttd_duol/)

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
genuinely who would want to acquire PYPL in 2026. congrats you now own the venmo of your parents generation and a checkout button every site is trying to remove. this has blackberry 2015 energy
Also, Top 5 Day Trades ya'll: PYPL $46C 2/27 5.1K% (also $53C #3 again for 03/06 exp) NVO $40P 2/27 4K% IBM $227.50P 02/27 3.1K% (also #6 for $222.50P 03/06) AXP $317.50 02/27 1.88K% MA $485P 02/27 1.4K%
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 😂
