What the Analysts think about PayPal
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for PayPal stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of PayPal stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Venmo TPV grew 14% and payment-service-provider volume rose 13% in Q2, with Braintree growing at a mid-teens pace. These faster-growing businesses give PayPal growth engines beyond its core checkout product. (PayPal)
PayPal generated $1.8 billion of adjusted free cash flow in Q2 and expects at least $6 billion for 2026, supporting investment and shareholder returns. It also targets at least $1.5 billion in gross annualised cost savings over the next two to three years. (PayPal)
Competition from Apple Pay and Google Pay, built into smartphone ecosystems, is eroding PayPal’s standalone advantage. Investors are still waiting for clearer evidence that it can regain share and accelerate growth. (Reuters)
Profitability is under pressure: Q2 transaction-margin dollars rose just 1%, while non-GAAP operating income fell 8% and operating margin contracted 248 basis points. Higher investment and a lower transaction take rate are limiting the benefit of rising payment volumes. (PayPal)
A Cleveland Research downgrade warned that Q3 trends may have missed expectations amid weaker international demand and share loss. It also flagged pricing pressure across branded checkout and Braintree, which could weigh on take rates and delay the turnaround. (Investing.com)
