PayPal holds steady amid M&A talks, Q3 EPS beats but revenue growth slows.

PayPal remains rated Hold as merger and acquisition speculation supports its stock price, though its fundamentals show mixed signals. In Q3, PayPal reported a non-GAAP EPS of $1.45, beating expectations, and improved operating margins. However, its net revenue growth slowed to 2%, missing analyst consensus. Growth in branded checkout was weak at 1%, but strong performance from Venmo and Pay Later services helped diversify revenue streams. The stock valuation is attractive with a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.4 and a free cash flow yield of 13.5%, but future gains depend on the successful closure of potential deals, with downside risk if talks fail.

As of Oct 28, 2026 20:42 WIB, PayPal (PYPL) trades at USD 55.72 on Pluang with a slight 1-day decline of 0.66%. The stock's market capitalization stands at $46.95 billion, reflecting steady investor interest despite mixed earnings signals. Pluang data shows a typical hold time of 107 days, indicating moderate confidence among users, while the order activity leans towards buying at 66%.
