  @lisaangeluk thought I’d mention I’ve just made an order, wouldn’t accept Apple Pay, card details and took me three attempts to pay by PayPal. Not sure if there’s an issue or this was a random failure. I tried three cards, both Apple Pay and by debit card and each one failed. Ta!

  PayPal down 16% premarket. Not on earnings. On a deal that didn't happen. Advent and Stripe walked away. That's what people underrate about buying a rumor: you stop underwriting a business and start underwriting someone else's decision to sign. Agree or disagree?

  @LibertyUkraineF @TonyaLevchuk I’ve donated, but your payment methods don’t all work in the UK. PayPal and Apple Pay both require a phone number, but there is nowhere to enter one. Google says a fix is required from your end?

  $PYPL Stripe & Advent have backed out of potential paypal takeover. Yet again, proving the current structure is not working. .@paypal mgmt should have to explain why the following is wrong. Paypal needs to become Venmo, and put the paypal brand to bed. The brand is a dinosaur and to most people, already does not exist. What are you holding on to ?? Venmo is the verb, and at least from my own experience, is the #1 payment app. From experience, Venmo business is what clients use, barely ever using cashapp, apple pay or zelle - DEFINITELY NOT PAYPAL. Become Venmo, become the Verb in the payment industry. Become one business with zero overlap, overlap is only expensive, not beneficial. If i'm wrong, explain to your shareholders why, because whatever it is you're doing or thinking, IT'S NOT WORKING. (no position). At the least, spin off Venmo to the public market.

  @rays_in_bahrain Yeah I have gotten tickets from people on this app before and haven’t had any issues yet luckily!! paypal goods and services is the only way to go for this tho. It backs you up and will protect your money if you don’t get tickets. Anyone who doesn’t want to use it is 100% a scammer

  $PYPL 61.47 down 10 a report that potential buyers of the payments company have walked away from negotiations. Shareholders will have to put their faith in the company's turnaround plans instead. Financial-technology company Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International have given up on acquiring PayPal after offering more than $50 billion for the company, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

  🚨 PAYPAL $PYPL IS GETTING CRUSHED: Shares are down ~13% after reports that Stripe and Advent abandoned their pursuit of PayPal. • Proposed offer: $60.50/share • Implied valuation: ~$53B • PayPal reportedly viewed the offer as too low The key now: the M&A premium is disappearing, forcing investors to value PayPal on its standalone turnaround. $PYPL

  🚨 A $50B PayPal deal just became a shareholder haircut 🧾 M&A checkpoint: • Proposed takeover value: about $50B • Buyers: Advent and Stripe consortium • Status on Friday, August 28: talks abandoned • $PYPL reaction: down roughly 12% 💰 The market did not price in "maybe." It priced in a payday. When the buyers walked, the premium walked with them. Retail holders do not get a breakup fee. They get the chart. I love how Wall Street calls this "deal uncertainty" after bidding up the rumor like it was guaranteed cash. 📉 Buyout rumor investors: holding the bag 📈 Deal buyers: walking away Ahead of the M&A trap, or already holding the bag?

  @inkofnightfall I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  $PYPL — PayPal Holdings Digital payments — PayPal, Venmo, Braintree, Xoom. Mkt cap: ~$45B | P/E: ~9.9x (fwd ~9.3x) — just above the all-time floor (~7.5-8.4x, hit Q1 2026) News: Stripe + Advent's ~$50B buyout bid has collapsed. Shares down ~15% premarket to $52.20 — takeover premium unwind, not a business breakdown. Technicals: price is sitting on the exact same 0.236 Fib + channel support that marked the 2016-17 accumulation zone — the one that preceded the multi-year run to $310 by 2021. My read: this is accumulation, not a floor to rally from yet. Expect 20-30% swings both ways inside this zone through the next couple years — my target year for PayPal is 2028, not now. Building a position on weakness, not chasing strength. NFA. Chart below

  PAYPAL $PYPL LOST $8.2 BILLION OVERNIGHT. S&P 500 FUTURES ARE DOWN 2.75 POINTS: PayPal PYPL at $51.86 (premarket), -$9.61 / -15.6% from Thursday's $61.47 close. The San Jose company runs the payment button at online checkouts, plus Venmo and Braintree. Bloomberg News reported that the group trying to buy the entire company - the private-equity firm Advent International and the privately held payments company Stripe - has dropped the pursuit. PayPal, Stripe and Advent each declined to comment. So a 15.6% fall is happening this morning on a news report that none of the three companies involved has confirmed. Multiply that $9.61 by the 855.5M PayPal shares in existence and about $8.2B of market value - one share's price times every share, the whole company's price tag - went missing between Thursday's closing bell and this sentence. Now look at what the American futures board did with it. Index futures are contracts on where an index will trade at a set date later on. They run all night, which makes them the earliest and least reliable clue about where the 9:30am ET opening bell lands. - Dow futures: 53,637.00, +16.00 pts / +0.03%. - S&P 500 futures: 7,739.75, -2.75 pts / -0.04%. - Nasdaq-100 futures: 29,611.50, -84.25 pts / -0.28%. - Russell 2000 futures: 3,014.70, -4.30 pts / -0.14%. WHY $8.2 BILLION BARELY REGISTERS An index is an average, and an average is a machine for making one loud number quiet. The S&P 500 tracks 500 companies. PayPal was worth $52.6B at Thursday's close - real money, and a modest slice of that crowd. Spread one company's worst night of the year across 499 others having an ordinary one and you get 2.75 points. The funds that hold those baskets say the same thing. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, at $771.06 (premarket), -$0.04 / -0.01% from Thursday's $771.10 close. Four cents. Invesco QQQ Trust, ticker QQQ, at $719.07 (premarket), -$2.04 / -0.28% from $721.11 - it tracks the Nasdaq-100, a much shorter list, and PayPal is on it. That is most of the split on the board above. The Dow contract is the green one because the Dow holds 30 companies, and neither of this morning's two big fallers is among them. THE OTHER FALLER IS THE BIGGER INDEX EVENT Marvell Technology at $221.24 (premarket), -$20.21 / -8.4% from Thursday's $241.45 close. The Wilmington, Delaware company designs the chips that shuttle data around inside a data center - the plumbing of the AI build-out rather than the processors that get the headlines. It reported its fiscal second quarter Thursday after the close: record revenue - money coming in the door - of $2.739B, +37% from a year earlier and +13% from the previous three months; adjusted profit per share, meaning earnings with certain one-time items set aside, of $0.94. Both cleared what analysts expected. Management then raised its own map twice over, to about $12B of revenue this fiscal year from about $11.5B, and to about $18B next year from about $16.5B. The stock is down 8.4% anyway, and the reason is the price it was already carrying. Marvell has climbed roughly 28% in a month and sits 260% above the $61.44 it traded at last September 4. A beat of about 1% does not pay for a run like that. Here is why it matters more than PayPal to the board above. Marvell is worth about $211.5B, four times PayPal's size, so an 8.4% fall is roughly $17.7B - more than twice the money that came off PayPal - and Marvell sits on that same short Nasdaq-100 list. Two names, one index, and the technology-heavy contract being the reddest thing on the screen stops being a mystery. EUROPE IS GREEN AND NONE OF IT IS CROSSING - CAC 40 (France): 8,401, +81.03 pts / +0.97%. - DAX (Germany): 26,495, +127.46 pts / +0.48%. - FTSE 100 (UK): 10,810, +17.00 pts / +0.16%. Paris is leading the continent on a morning its own inflation reading got hotter. INSEE, France's national statistics agency, put its first estimate of August consumer prices at 2.7% above a year earlier on the harmonised measure - the version built so euro-area countries can be compared like for like - up from 2.4% in July, with energy prices running 16.7% above a year ago. Separately, Fitch Ratings, one of the three big agencies that grade how likely a government is to repay what it borrows, reviews France today; it cut that grade from AA- to A+ on September 13, 2025. A market up nearly a percent into both of those is not one braced for either. Europe still has three and a half hours of its own session left to change its mind. THE EMPTY 8:30 AND THE CROWDED 10:00 Most mornings a government data release lands at 8:30am ET and futures reprice on it in the hour before the bell. Today that slot is empty. Nothing scheduled arrives between now and the open, which is a large part of why those four contracts have barely moved since dawn. Then 10:00am ET, half an hour after the bell, two things land together. - The University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers publishes its final August reading - a monthly survey asking American households how they feel about their own money and the wider economy, scored as an index. The preliminary reading was 51.0 against about 54.5 expected, -7.6% from July, with households penciling in 4.3% price rises over the coming year. - Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh gives his first keynote as chair at the Kansas City Fed's annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He speaks two days after the Bureau of Economic Analysis put the personal consumption expenditures price index for July - the inflation gauge the Fed watches most closely, because it follows what people actually buy - at 3.7% above a year earlier, unchanged from June and hotter than the 3.6% economists expected. New York is coming off a strong Thursday, which is worth holding beside all of the above: the S&P 500 closed at 7,730.99, +55.29 pts / +0.72%, and the Nasdaq-100 at 29,641.56, +417.04 pts / +1.43%. Hold every overnight figure loosely, though. Pre-dawn trading is thin, so a move made by few participants gets undone by few, and nothing printed before sunrise owes anybody a promise it survives to 9:30am. Two dates ahead of that: Monday is month-end, when funds adjust holdings into the close and prices can move on housekeeping rather than news, and next Friday, September 4, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the August jobs report at 8:30am ET. That slot will not be empty. WHERE THESE TWO SIT PayPal is 40th of 46 on the Quality-Value Len5, the style that wants a durable business at a fair price. The fair-price half is loud this morning: at $51.86 the shares cost about 9.9 times the last year of profit, and the company keeps buying back its own stock, which quietly raises every remaining owner's slice. The durable half is the open question, and it has nothing to do with the deal. It comes from the July 28 report, where the total spent through PayPal's systems rose 10% while transaction margin dollars - the money PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it - rose 1%. Volume growing ten times faster than the money kept is the thing to watch; that gap closing settles the read, and another year of it widening breaks it. PayPal is on none of the other five. Deep-Value and Special-Situations hunts the genuinely cheap or a business carrying a dated event - there was an event, and this morning it evaporated, which is exactly why an unsigned offer is not something to lean on; a signed agreement with a closing date would change that. Momentum watches names already breaking out on news of their own, and a 15.6% fall on a stock 34.5% under the $79.215 it reached last October 28 is the opposite shape. Both growth styles want expansion you are not overpaying for, and mid-single-digit revenue growth with profit per share going backwards is not expansion. Income watches cash genuinely reaching owners, and what leaves here goes out through buybacks rather than a payout worth a real share of the price - a dividend that mattered against the share price is the change. Marvell is on none of the six. Both value styles want a fair price standing beside a durable business, and at about 84 times the last year of profit the price half is missing; a real markdown with data-center demand still growing would bring either into range. Both growth styles want expansion you are not overpaying for - the expansion is genuine at 37%, and the price is again the half that fails. Momentum watches names already breaking out on a live event of their own, and a company that posts a record quarter, raises two years of guidance and falls 8.4% anyway is the exact opposite shape; clearing the $329.88 it reached on June 18 on heavy volume would be the change. Income is settled on size, at $0.06 a quarter against a $221 share. Thursday's closing price of $61.47 was a bet that somebody would eventually pay more than the $60.50 a share on the table. This morning there is no offer, no statement from any of the three companies, and a stock 15.6% lower than it was at the bell. At 10:00am the newest Fed chair gives his first keynote at a symposium whose subject this year is what payments become next - and one of the country's largest payment companies will spend that hour finding out what it is worth standing on its own. Not investment advice.
