PYPL

madalytical

100% couldn't care less if it files for bankruptcy and ceases to exist; the only focus, is how to make money for now, PYPL is a money maker, I'll ride it till it squeezes the juices, then throw it away like a used condom

madalytical

nobody gives a damn about u or me or anyone else's opinion, the market dictates reality and were either trending with it or against it I couldn't care less if Godzilla himself decided to take over PYPL, all I care about is how to extract gains, AKA money; everything else, every other thought has ZERO value and PYPL will deliver gains, and once I cash out and dump this garbage after I use it and throw it away, I jump onto another stock; use it, then dump it yet again; a vicious cycle of cash upon cash upon cash no ego here, no emotion, just money

madalytical

u enjoy the comedic fiction; I'll stick to reality, PYPL board will reject 100% guaranteed, stock will climb it has multiple positive catalysts in a row that'll push this to +$100 watch it happen with ur own eyes; its so PATHETICALLY easy

Few-Chemist-3463

It would be more funny if PYPL rejects the offer and they go back to $40/share. It can be like the next Kohls where they reject all takeover offers and tank year after year.

Live_Throat_5252

The dumber they are, the more confident they are. If PYPL is acquired for $60.50/cash - you know, the offer that was just made to them today, and the reason the stock was up so much - the option loses all of its vol. It would trade for somewhere nearish 50 cents (I’ll leave that part up to you…it would trade for less than 50 cents). I’m not suggesting that will for sure happen. Or even that is likely. But that’s the case for selling now. Sell it for 5 bucks or wtv the last trade was vs potentially .50 if PYPL accepts the offer.

madalytical

YINN. explodes upwards premarket yet again, now how much is that in day(s)? +15%, probly more Oh what about PYPL, uhhh u can look at that over the past few days since my post; its ok to be angry it's ok, ur a nobody to me, I just enjoy rubbing gains all over, enough attention for u remember to throw away ur ego, it kills ur growth

All of the IV fell out of your calls. You have a contract that lets you buy PYPL shares at $60. If the deal goes through, Stripe will force you to sell the shares at $60.50, the contracts would be worth $0.50. I think that your best chance of making money if you continue to hold would be if PayPal shareholders reject the deal and Stripe offers a higher price to entice them. A lot of things need to go right for you for this to happen and it’s low chances but this is why the contract is trading above $0.50.

ManBearPig_1983

Please, please let me get to 60 on PYPL and I’ll never touch anything but index stonks ever again 😭

Jericho3434

Woke up tired from work and the heat from the last few days. Found out my PYPL was getting bought and had huge gainers across the board. Was about to work on a property I am going to sell but was tired and lounged around. Ended up watching the England vs. Argentina game, was really good but my England lost. Ended up working on the property for a few hours. Now resting in my car with the AC on in a Lowe’s parking lot shit posting on WSB 😅. Might go to a bar for food and drinks or go to get fast food/beer and go back working on the house. You?

No_Feeling920

If they do a stock deal, then Stripe would likely have to reverse merge into PYPL and change the ticker, becoming publicly traded in place of the PYPL stock.

No_Feeling920

Congratulations, you just figured out the risk of bagholding through troughs. If it is an all cash deal and the PYPL management accepts it, then it's over (your loss gets realised automatically). If it is a stock deal, then Stripe would likely reverse merge into PYPL, change the stock ticker and become publicly traded. In that case, you would become a bagholder of the combined entity (the stock award ratio would still fuck you over compared to Stripe investors).

Beneficial-Ferret479

There might be a chance another bidder comes in. Seems like this offer is too low for the profits PYPL are still making at this point.

Gardenrosethorn

stripe made an unsolicited offer to buy PYPL. stock up +15% today

Gardenrosethorn

looks like Michael Burry was right about PYPL…

Relative-Snow8735

The new CEO has a lucrative incentive package that doesn't start kicking in until the stock is somewhere above $80. That alone is likely going to drive him to want to get the offer price up. I think a very good parallel to look to is the WBD fiasco. The stock was under $10 and is now floating just below $30 thanks to a very aggressive bidding war. As a stand alone entity, WBD is not worth $10, let alone $30. But in a competitive market, consolidation can be leveraged to drown out competitors and in an environment like that it can make sense to overbid for assets like WBD to make sure your the one that stays on top. If Paypal can get a competing offer I think wee see a minimum of $100 a share once the dust settles. PYPL has a much cleaner balance sheet than WBD which could lend itself to support some fairly lofty bids.

J_da_CPA

They said PYPL was dead money 🤑

madalytical

- 100% will not be accepted - PYPL board will reject (stock rallies) - 100% a counter offer will be made (+$75) - PYPL board will reject (stock rallies again) - 100% July earnings report will be EXCEPTIONAL (stock rallies again) PYPL will TOUCH $100 mark this post, I'm the 1% that decimates the market many times over; PYPL is 15% of my entire port Why only 15%? The other port percentages are in other positions that will also go ASTRONOMICAL, some jump before others, I sell, jump to the next; rinse/repeat Here's freebies for yaw on what's next: YINN, BSX, NKE, WHR remember to mark this post, week(s) of not day(s)

Embarrassed-Sky6890

MU down but PYPL up yea market you’re drunk go ahead and reverse this right now

Relative-Snow8735

I am hoping he goes out and gets a bidding war going with the intention of hitting those incentive milestones. PYPL is down because the payments landscape is so competitive. But consolidation can change the narrative quickly, similar to what happen with WBD. They went from being a dog of a company to being a key piece to consolidating the market once the bids started coming in.

Fun_Investment1101

If you’re still in PYPL atp you deserve to be liquidated

Relative-Snow8735

If IV collapses on strikes above $60, it could make sense to buy a few lottery tickets on the chance that PYPL negotiates a higher purchase price or a competing bid emerges. Look at how WBD played out as an example. The stock was under $10 and is now pushing close to $30 once the bidding war finally settled. But yeah, if the current offer gets accepted and you are holding $60 calls, you are probably gong to lose money depending on how much you paid for those calls. I bought a few $50 LEAPs expecting something like this to happen, and if this offer goes through, those LEAPs are only going to be up \~25%. I would have made more just buying the stock.

Hibachibenihanater1a

Hey guys i just wanna to remind u there is more sector that you can explore , its boring to see mu- sndk amd semi semi ... now is time to painpal PYPL

MoonrakerRocket

Funny feeling that next earnings for PYPL will make the takeover offer look like a joke. Too good to be this cheap.

LabyrinthLayers

Furus acting like they called the move on PYPL lol

Multidream

Oh you were gonna flip it on the first good news, gotcha. So Ig if you wanna keep going now, you have to hope PYPL rejects the deal and then… something payments wise happens before Christmas. Did you have something in mind, or were you generally just bullish that anything could happen?

Multidream

Ok, let me see if I understand - You bought a call option for Dec 26 @ $65 for a company that has been riding $40s this year, but has historically seen higher prices back when people thought it was worth something. - PYPL is now being made an offer at $60.50 per share. - You thought the market price was 0.91 because you read the last sale price and just thought it would be fine? So you’re out of the money option is junk unless PayPal refuses and either negotiates an even better deal, or suddenly the stock price explodes for some reason above its historical $40? All by Christmas? Damn. Honestly, I would just take the $71 and go home. You can buy yourself something nice for Christmas and some nice hot cocoa, think back to this moment and tell yourself, “God Im glad I got out before that shit hit 0”.

Cannot make it up..sold META and PYPL yesterday to roll a large MU call... fuck me and my stock choices

d33p7r0ubl3

Congrats PYPL bagholders

xghtai737

Turns out, it actually was the bottom. Post was made June 10th. PYPL closed that day at $40.70. It never closed below that, again. It touched $55 today.

MrCoolGuy42

PYPL weeklies for a nice +$4k It’s nice to win one 🥲

HeliosNarcissus

The buyout would be for $60/share though. So under that assumption, there’s virtually zero chance of these options being worth anything. The buyout actually hurts OPs chances, because despite the overnight pop the shares won’t trade much higher now. Before the offer there was at least a chance that PYPL could get closer to 135 by January.

PYPL buyout rumors again? This will surely be a sell the news kinda event

Top-Bumblebee3742

This happened a couple months ago - sent the stock from 40->50 - I’m not sure why PYPL would take this deal - in theory they are worth way more

cbusoh66

PYPL $60.50 offer is now the floor. Braintree and Venmo are worth $100, each. New CEO massive shares package kicks in at $125, he ain't selling at $60 and that's why Stripe leaked the story to put pressure on the board and large holders.

vermilli21

Holy shit is PYPL back? Up 18% premarket

Good job bro. PYPL is definitely not one I would guessed would shot up like that. I was more interested in BSX. Going to open a position on it I think.

Lowball ass PYPL offer. This thing is worth $80+ minimum

Happy-Champion1661

American stonk market is just pure fraud at this point. They knew about PYPL. Sure, rumors were floating around since months, but let's see the facts. Yesterday all Jan2028 leaps suddendly dropped in IV (41%->36%, after they've been sitting there FOR MONTHS), they became about 15-20% cheaper for no apparent reason, only yesterday. The daily volume also spiked on green candles on no news at all. I also looked at the option chain for this week, OTM calls had an insane IV while puts are worthless (60% IV for a 5% OTM call, 43% IV for the 5% OTM puts, with the ATM options being priced at 45% IV). They knew it was coming, they are fucking scammers, they should be all put in jail. Fuck this shit, no one ever does anything, I am out of here. IS INSIDER TRADER ILLEGAL OR NOT? BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS NOT! IS ANYONE FUCKING INVESTING THIS FRAUD OR NOT????? WTF

ljl1986

Holy shit PYPL 🤣

juste1221

More of a children's coin purse than a bag, 0.25% position size. Probably >90% of shareholders would be selling at a loss at this offer price, and nobody that was buying PYPL recently enough to be below it was looking for a measly 20% return. This is the kind of offer you'd make for a company about to declare bankruptcy. Zero chance this offer is even entertained, never mind approved.

> Something can be at a 5 year low and seem cheap but if it doesn't have a catalyst it can go to a 10 year low' I think there has to be some sort of considerable thesis for anything that one invests in, preferably with a catalyst in the reasonably near-term. If something is "cheap", what exactly will cause that to change in the next 6-12 mo? Frequently re-assess as time passes as to whether or not the desired story is playing out as hoped or not - if not, then on to the next. Is something truly cheap or was it expensive and has now re-rated to "less expensive" or "reasonable" but not "massively cheap?" I think you saw that with some of the obliterated SaaS stocks; names that had been expensive for years simply re-rated but weren't insanely cheap and now faced a different environment. Does something have reinvestment opportunities? People were going on on here about PYPL for 3 years and the same two things every time: "it's cheap" and "the buybacks." I could never get anyone to seem to make a case for the business itself. What were the opportuntiies for Paypal the business, what else could it do to restart the growth story, what can it do that half a dozen other fintech businesses couldn't copy? Never seemed to get any answers beyond "it's cheap" and "buybacks" (and no guarantee buybacks are done well) - and the stock is down another 35% this year. The stock is still optically cheap, but arguably a mature business and doesn't pay much of a dividend. It's the kind of thing the market doesn't have an appetite for and probably won't unless things broadly change or there's some consolidation in fintech. People looked at NKE in 2024 half off the high; it got a brief boost later in the year when a former exec was brought back to revamp the company. Less than two years later the stock is down 50% from that announcement. I think you have a market that already has little patience for turnaround stories, but when one is going slowly/has been somewhat mixed, even worse. Sometimes stuff simply trades poorly and if days become weeks and something is trading heavy, sometimes the market is right. Allocation/position sizing also plays a major role imo both in terms of specific positions and broad thematic/style.

IvoryTowerResident

his other stuff are ok too I own ADBE but PYPL and LULU doing good these days

BenniTheTank

Sentiment is so incredibly bad it could be anything. Revenue is still slightly growing. So one or two positive quarters could completely turn sentiment. I personally think their new ads products will show strong growth and will turn it. And even if not. 16% buyback will increase EPS. look at autozone. Such a shitty company, still a 100x bagger becauce of buyback programm. PYPL has the cash flow for it.

I like something like PYPL more, simply bc it’s a finance & tech stock in one. It’s also diversified with Venmo & Braintree. As with MSFT, it’s massively undervalued while still being used as the most secure transaction platform in numerous sectors (eBay, Etsy, WSOP, Amazon, etc). Shopify is trying to take out that middleman too, but we’ll see if it’s got any legs (I’m guessing it doesn’t). Shopify had a pop during the Pandemic, but that’s an anomaly that created an economic exception.

Didn’t buy a single share this week. I did sell a PYPL put and a few RCAT puts. Hoping for some red next week to sell LULU and FSLR puts and buy some shares of stuff.

Beneficial-Ferret479

I started to use Xoom for international money transfers. Its a PayPal company. I'm surprised that PYPL is still priced at its current stock price. But, like everything else, the face a lot of competition, but are still making money.

"ELF (e.l.f. Beauty): 10%" I owned it originally from the $80's until a bit under $200 and sold after it started eroding off highs. Thought I'd left money on the table. Cut to: $50's. The re-rating of a consumer growth story is significant, see also: CELH. Can you do well after that? Sure, but it depends on why it re-rated and can it regain the kind of growth profile it had? Stuff like this (and CELH) were reminders why I don't like investing in consumer brands. "SFM (Sprouts Farmers Market): 9.1%" Nasty re-rating. Probably does okay going forward but given that it's not cheap, not the place to be if the economy cools. "ADBE (Adobe): 11%" I don't like it. Obviously not apples-to-apples, but it feels like it's going to be this sub's next PYPL: something that people go "but it's cheap" and "the buybacks" year after year as it erodes. It's clearly not operating in the same environment going forward that it's enjoyed for decades, I think even people bullish can agree on that. "NVO (Novo Nordisk): 9%" I bought some not that long ago. I'm glad that I emphasized LLY instead of owning NVO in recent years but it was cheap enough recently to consider. "RMD (ResMed): 7.5%" The TAM is going to be smaller going forward imho, so unless it becomes extraordinarily cheap I don't see the reasoning behind making this such a large position. "VEEV (Veeva Systems): 7.5%" Eh. It hasn't been that compelling imo in a while, even before the SaaS negativity. You are largely trying to be a value investooor and while there's nothing wrong with that, my one concern would be that your entire portfolio is going to be fairly correlated. You've done well lately as part of a rotation into names that haven't done as well, but if that rotation stopped tomorrow, you could easily see the opposite over the next 3 weeks. Selective bottom feeding is great, but imho it's allocating part of your portfolio to selected situations where you have a distinct thesis/near-term catalyst in mind - I wouldn't make it the entire portfolio. Something can be at a 5 year low and seem cheap but if it doesn't have a catalyst it can go to a 10 year low. Look at BSX back to where it was about 22 years ago. Good luck.

Bro. I invested in PYPL at around 40 three years later it was almost at 500 now 7 years in its back at 40 again. No crying in the casino.
