In this episode, we dive deep into PayPal Holdings' (PYPL) current market position and financial performance. We analyze the stock's recent closing price of $69.84 as of October 24, 2025, and the significant spike in trading volume to over 19.4 million shares—far exceeding the typical 12 million average.

Despite showing modest gains with a 4.5% increase over the past month, PayPal continues to face challenges, reflected in its 18.25% year-to-date decline and 14% drop over the previous 12 months. With a market cap of approximately $66 billion, the company's valuation remains well below its historical peak.

We break down PayPal's recent quarterly earnings report, where the company outperformed analyst expectations with $1.34 EPS vs. the projected $1.20, and revenue growth of 7.3% year-over-year to $8.42 billion. We also examine management's Q4 guidance and what it signals for investors.

The episode covers the mixed analyst sentiment surrounding PayPal, from recent target upgrades by Keefe Bruyette and Woods ($90) and Mizuho ($84), to more cautious stances from other firms. We explore what the consensus "hold" rating means for potential investors and analyze the wide range of price targets from various financial institutions.

Join us as we evaluate PayPal's competitive challenges, growth prospects, and what the current market signals suggest for the company's future performance through 2025 and beyond.
