PayPal: Why Buy The Post-Earnings Dip?
PayPal Holdings, Inc.'s post-earnings 9% selloff is an overreaction, in my opinion, offering a compelling entry point. Strong Q2 results with raised guidance, robust value-added services growth, and continued share buybacks support my bullish outlook despite modest top-line growth. AI-driven agentic shopping is a key long-term catalyst, positioning PayPal ahead of peers in enabling frictionless, automated transactions across platforms.

PayPal: The Sell-Off Makes No Sense
PayPal delivered strong Q2 results, beating estimates and achieving its fourth consecutive quarter of customer base growth, addressing a key prior weakness. The Fintech remained free cash flow profitable in Q2, confirmed its FY 2025 free cash flow guidance and raised its EPS outlook. Slowing growth in PayPal's branded checkout, driven by tariff uncertainty, have led to an exaggerated 9% drop in the Fintech's share price on Tuesday.

PayPal: Massive Drop = Buying Opportunity
PayPal delivered strong Q2 results, beating estimates and raising guidance, yet shares dropped close to 10%, creating a compelling long-term buying opportunity. User growth was modest at 2%, but total payment volume and revenues rose 5%, with operating income up 13% due to margin expansion. Aggressive share buybacks have reduced share count by over 20% in recent years, boosting EPS growth and enhancing shareholder value.

PayPal Can't Catch A Break As Even A Triple Beat Leaves Investors Asking For More
PayPal Holdings Inc. just reported a triple beat for their Q2 FY 2025 earnings and the stock is down -9%. Revenue growth from Braintree is reaccelerating, active accounts are growing again, they're improving their profitability. At the same times, valuations remain incredibly depressed, not pricing in any type of success from all the projects PayPal has been announcing lately.
