PYPL

Happy_Discussion_536

They're all hilarious top posts. "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"

people did know trouble was coming with PayPal though with the EPS and other technical stuff maybe Jan 25th to Feb 2nd so for 8 days it was getting sold I'm not sure if the slide was Dec 1st, and why that is the case maybe this **one** **PYPL Stock Down 27.5% YTD: Is it a Buying Opportunity or Time to Exit?** November 28,2025 PayPal's sharp YTD slide contrasts with its push into next-gen commerce, AI, crypto and fast-growing Venmo, raising big questions for investors. **two** **The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights PayPal, Visa and Mastercard** by Zacks Equity Research Published on December 01,2025 PYPL slides 27.5% YTD as rivals V and MA gain, but new AI, ads and crypto tools fuel debate over whether PayPal's slump is a long-term opportunity. **three** **PayPal's Branded Checkout & OpEx Concern: Will Growth be Affected?** by Zacks Equity Research Published on December 04,2025 PYPL flags softer Q4 branded checkout growth and rising 2026 OpEx as it pushes investments.

The PYPL partnership effect ✨

Ok-Ideal9009

You literally show how it is shrinking and is a losing business. Dont' forget the part of stocks that are a popularity contest. So many stocks are not based on their intrinsic value but rather peoples perception of the companies. PYPL is going down, it might be right or wrong reasons but it is going down. I don't see how they recover to the level you are talking about for years if ever. Sometimes better to cut your losses and and don't try to pick stocks with a large portion of your portfolio.

PYPL ayyyyyyy LMAO

Namtabmal

LMAO look at these stock picker youtubers trying desperately to pump AMD, PYPL AND OTHER SHITS. I hope no one actually falls for that shit

LarsTarkas

At this rate PYPL will be zero by the end of the month

PYPL 🪦

CallingAllChickens

I bought a lot of individual stocks at the worst time in 2021 so I'm still holding a lot of them which like you said, might as well hold for the bounce or use it for tax loss harvesting. I've been selling the majority of them once it breaks even but still got a lot that never bounced back, PYPL being one of them! Expensive lesson, eh?

aftherith

Rumoured HOOD PYPL merger in an attempt to bring both companies to absolute zero

Happy_Discussion_536

Watching the retarded "value investors" obsessed with only PE get totally obliterated by PYPL is one of the most satisfying things in the market I have seen in a while.

Check out that V on PYPL ######*Statement may not reflect actual market conditions

CrimsonBrit

This is a real told-you-so moment for me. My post and comment history will show about 8 years worth of PYPL coverage, with the last 3 years or so incredibly bearish. I even posted the Q3 2025 earnings in this sub an stayed neutral as the OP, but wow this company is going in to the gutter. Chriss was an epic failure, but hiring a guy that has seemingly only ever worked at HP is very telling. This is an obsolete company and that is literally losing money. They are not innovative, competitive, profitable, or promising. Do not fall for this trap, even if you’re enticed by a mid-single digit PE ratio. Companies go bust - this will be one of them.

Negative_Win_5117

Selling PYPL at $200 and then not caring that “you missed out” as it ran to $300 looks pretty smart in hindsight.

Happy_Discussion_536

Not gonna survive very long term if those were naked. Unless he really intended to buy $2.6M of garbage company like PYPL lmaooo.

I mean, there’s ‘taking profit’ and then there’s whatever tf PYPL is doing right now 😆

Ngl Gents, at 7 PE and 15% share buybacks/free cashflow I'm putting just the tip into PYPL I know it's a value trap but I can't help myself

dvdmovie1

"cannot be determined by the fundamentals." In terms of only focusing on things that are "cheap", part of this sub has been going on about PYPL for the last 3 years only to see it go down another 20% yesterday. "I would say that MU seems to be the only one sticking out a bit as a possible further runaway" The memory story has already run a lot but could certainly continue further before a shortage eventually turns into a glut (or perhaps normalization, if the demand for memory going forward is just going to be permanently higher.) Optics/photonics doing very well - look at LITE earnings last night and names like CIEN/COHR. There's a lot of things doing well, but what is doing well - imo - has become a bit more esoteric instead of "just invest in Mag 7." I mean, look at Nitto Boseki in Japan and a shortage of glass fiber. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/glass-cloth-could-be-the-next-great-ai-shortage-as-major-manufacturers-scramble-to-secure-critical-material-japanese-manufacturer-courted-by-apple-nvidia-google-and-amazon The concern that I have in the short-term is that the "short software/long AI" trade gets even more extreme and you see a reversal in that, but imo it would be a buying opportunity for AI names.

With how hated PYPL is on reddit I think it's time to buy.

HistoricalComeBack

I follow a couple accounts on Stock Twits and they usually post it. To be fair this one from Uber needs to fall a bit more or will be basically break even, but yesterday with PYPL went pretty well

altonianTrader

You do know paypal is PYPL not PAL...??

crohns4cannabis

I’m butthurt on HOOD, PYPL, COIN and MA. Bought all those the same week

HumidMind

I bought 3 YOLOs at as market crashed with COVID: MSTR, PLTR and PYPL. 2 made me wife changing cash. PYPL defied all fundamentals and...sold that bag outta my ira at 3k loss last year.

DrSeuss1020

Uber going the way of PYPL. PE bros in absolute shambles again this morning. Value investing 😂

lies_are_comforting

I spent about the same amount of money on PYPL shares before it crashed 20 % so we’re in the same boat kind of. Hope aside, what price reaction do you expect today after close?

Will1790

What does PYPL do that Venmo, Cash App, etc don’t? Who still uses PYPL?

durian_in_my_asshole

PYPL and DUOL, neck and neck in a race to the bottom of the grand canyon.

lies_are_comforting

Two days ago: I spent $150k on PYPL cost basis $52 getting me 2,900 shares. Yesterday: I lost 20 % as I sold, leaving me with $120k in cash. Later yesterday: I spent $120k plus another $120k ie $240k on 40,000 SNAP shares cost basis $6. Today: Fingers crossed I don’t lose the lottery twice. Tomorrow: Buy back PYPL shares probably along with NVO shares, if I won the lottery yesterday Tomorrow plan B: Buy BYND shares for all the money I have left, if I lost the lottery yesterday ie meaning I would’ve lost on both PYPL and SNAP earnings. I consider myself a calm investor.

skin_flute_player

It could be worse, you could be the regard that bought NVO and PYPL calls for ER. (It’s might be me)

dvdmovie1

The reality is somewhere in the middle. Most SaaS names aren't going to be zeros, but if you're NOW and you have tended to trade around a 150 p/e in recent years, when there are genuine concerns to what SaaS looks like in the future, what is the right multiple? Not where it was trading. There is a floor for a lot of this stuff, few will probably guess right (not apples-to-apples, but this sub has been trying to guess the floor for "cheap" PYPL for 3 years now only to see it go down another 20% yesterday.) The "ceiling" for most of these names has also been moved meaningfully lower - going on where these *were* and thinking about "what if it gets back there?" is not the right approach.

Kingdrip99

I own a small amount of PYPL but it feels way nicer buying MA/V rn. MA growing 18% vs PYPL 4%

Astronaut100

I sincerely hope you recover your PYPL losses, but bro, you need help.

dvdmovie1

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.

JacksonGotIt

Even company insiders seem to believe the stock is shit they are all selling [$PYPL](https://insideranalytics.ai/insider-trading/companies/PYPL)

dvdmovie1

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.

CriticalBlackberry90

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).

WinstonSalemSmith

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.

lies_are_comforting

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.

ecruiser

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.

markpreston54

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

abrahamlincoln20

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.

bruh the PYPL timing 💀

Cav829

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.

Bobba-Luna

I honestly think, based on my experience with PYPL, that you’re just going to lose more. This company is toast.

randomnameforme123

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

I’d say PYPL is tempting for leaps. But so was NFLX…and fool me once….

Deeznutzsgotcha

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.

Beginning-Ad-186

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

Kickboy21

I have MSFT but it couldve been worse like holding PYPL NVO ADBE

BrockForsey

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.

HanjobSolo69

In what world would you buy PYPL calls?

drew-gen-x

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.

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.

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.

So you're telling me PYPL is not a buy at $42 ?

HistoricalComeBack

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

WinstonSalemSmith

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.
