PayPal's $60.50 per share takeover bid by Stripe and Advent International was withdrawn, but the stock remains undervalued at about 9 times forward earnings. The company shows strong fundamentals with stable free cash flow, share buybacks, and a declining share count. Growth prospects include Venmo's expected 20% revenue increase by 2025 and improving profitability at Braintree, offsetting challenges in the branded checkout segment. Risks involve potential further loss in checkout market share and execution uncertainties, but current valuation already factors in these downsides, making the stock a favorable buy with a 12-month target price of $66.
PayPal trades at USD 54.61 on Pluang as of Oct 07, 2026 14:11 WIB, unchanged in the past day. The stock's market cap stands at $46.55 billion, with a 52-week range from $39.08 to $76.13. Despite the withdrawn takeover bid, Pluang users show a 65% sell and 35% buy order split, reflecting mixed sentiment.
