PayPal Holdings rejected Stripe's offer to buy the company at about $60 per share, signaling confidence in its own long-term value. In Q2, PayPal showed a solid turnaround with a 14% increase in U.S. total payment volume and continued double-digit growth in Venmo, though profit margins and take-rates faced pressure. Management plans to achieve $1.5 billion in long-term cost savings by optimizing services and using AI to improve efficiency. Despite competitive risks, the stock is seen as cautiously attractive due to its compressed valuation and growth potential.
