  Brett Kessler (@BrettKessler__) reported 5 minutes ago

  The Consensus View: Wall Street looks at PayPal's massive decline from its 2021 peak of $360 billion down to around $36 billion, assuming they have permanently lost the consumer checkout war to Apple Pay and Google Pay. They think Stripe is just buying a bloated, legacy user base. The Reality: The underlying commercial engine has fundamentally transformed. Stripe isn't buying a dying platform; they are executing a masterclass in scale. While Stripe absolutely dominates the backend B2B developer and infrastructure layer, PayPal still controls over 430 million active consumer accounts and massive proprietary transaction flow.

  @pitdesi It’s insane to me a company like PayPal is worth so much when their product is fundamentally broken. It will randomly charge to the checking account and not the credit card saved as default. Meaning it can’t be trusted. This is a known problem they just don’t give a ****.

  Woke up to the $60.50 bid for $PYPL from Stripe and Advent. Stock closed at $47.37. That "28% premium" is off a beaten down base. Paypal traded near $80 last year. And 28% is *below* the median take private premium of ~32%. They didn't even bring a normal offer, let alone a full one 🫠 Look at what they're actually paying for: a global payments network throwing off ~$6B in free cash, 25% ROE, buying back 7%+ of shares a year. At $60.50 that's ~9x FCF and ~8x EBITDA for *control*. Established payments assets go for 8-12x EBITDA as minority stakes. This is the bottom of the band, and they want the whole thing. So that's the tell imo. $60.50 is only 1.21x my IV15, and IV15 is what I'd pay as a passive holder with zero control baked in. A control buyer pays *over* fair value, not just above the floor. Id value pypl IV8 to IV10. That's $75-80 at IV10, $110-115 at IV8. Stack a control premium on IV10 and you're near $100, still under my IV8. A board retiring 7% of its stock a year at $45 is not tendering at $60.50. If anything here I'm selling calls against my short puts which are now up nicely and some of my long shares

  Stripe and a private equity firm have offered $53 billion to buy PayPal — a 28% premium, backed by $50 billion in bank financing. PayPal's market value had fallen to under $41 billion, down 36% in a year, before this bid sent shares up 16% overnight.

  New piece on Stripe, Advent, and PayPal. Less about who's buying, more about a question nobody's asking: how does the PE firm get out? (Skip the first 2 sections if you only want to read about the exit problem)

  Weary Centurion (@weary_centurion) reported 26 minutes ago

  @ztipme Go on then why is my take wrong? You probably don’t realise I was full port PayPal at one point. I know the business very well. I actually think it’s worth $80-90 per share. So we probably have a more similar view than you think. But you cannot discount the fact the business is declining and is under constant pressure from competitors. It also has a very stubborn, toxic corporate culture which is the biggest problem of all. This is what happens when a good business gets mismanaged for a long period of time. The moves taken under Schulman between 2015-2023 broke the company permanently. Alex Chriss could have turned it around imo if he had taken over earlier in 2021 maybe. But it was too late and too much damage has been done. I am open to opposing views though

  I posted on LN how Meta is being sued by 26 former employees who say the company used AI to choose who to dismiss, selecting people with disabilities and people who had taken medical leave. And a former global intelligence officer for Meta left a comment to say she’s one of the people impacted and is on cancer treatment. 💔 The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. The 26 say Meta scored and ranked staff on a termination list using productivity numbers and AI token usage, which counted against anyone absent from work for reasons the law protects. Meta says its workforce decisions were made by people, not AI. Meta said earlier this year it would cut about 10% of its global workforce, nearly 8,000 jobs, starting in May, with more to follow. Since 2022 it has removed tens of thousands of roles and the money is being redirected into AI infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the integrity, trust and safety teams have been completely gutted, so fewer people now work on content moderation, cybersecurity and safety policy. Companies should use AI to remove human bias from hiring and firing but are using it to collect information about people that has nothing to do with the job. Eightfold AI scores job people from 0 to 5 on their likelihood of success in a role, and applications with a low score are discarded before a recruiter sees the name. Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik sued the company in California in January in a proposed class action. Jenny Yang, the former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is one of the lawyers acting for them. Eightfold's software is used by Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Starbucks and Chevron and more than 100 other employers. The complaint says Eightfold AI builds a hidden profile of each applicant from social media activity, location data, internet and device tracking and cookies, and uses it to judge their behaviour, attitudes, intelligence and aptitude. Its model draws on more than 1.5 billion data points and the profiles of more than 1 billion working people. Eightfold denies scraping social media, says it uses data that candidates share or that its customers provide, and says candidates can see and correct their data. Kistler and Bhaumik say they were never told Eightfold was evaluating them, never saw their score, and were given no way to correct an error or dispute a low rating. They aren't arguing the algorithm is biased, which is notoriously hard to prove in court. They're saying that by secretly gathering this data and selling the resulting judgement to employers, Eightfold is acting as a consumer reporting agency without registering as one. That would place it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the US law that gives people the right to see the information used to judge them and to correct it when it's wrong. I believe the court will accept that argument, and every company scoring people with AI will end up having to show each person the score and the data behind it. AI is notorious for making things up, not just getting things wrong. At scale, this means it'll inevitably misinterpret jokes about people, companies, or governments, and confidently fabricate lies to back up its mistakes.

  PayPal ($PYPL), despite Stripe’s reported bid at a 28% premium, is still down 4.5% YTD. Even more striking: the stock remains down over 80% in 5 years. Sometimes the best decision is accepting someone else can do better.

  $PYPL is surging +17.2% today on explosive M&A news: Stripe and Advent International have made a joint $53 billion takeover bid for PayPal Holdings — valuing shares at roughly $60.50. X user @gurgavin (461.6K followers) argues the board should reject the offer, pointing out PayPal earns $5B+ annually, buys back 7% of shares yearly, and traded at just 9x earnings *before* the news. His take: $75 is the bare minimum, and a bidding war may be coming. Network Consensus Forecast: Analysts: 2 Buy / 31 Hold / 0 Sell, target $48.75. AI targets: 1-month $46.38, 3-month $37.78. Technicals: RSI bullish recovery, MACD bullish — though the broader trend remains down and flat.

  I’ve had some bad picks over the years: PayPal, AU79, Beyond Meat. I’ve also had many huge winners: Tesla, Palantir, Bitcoin, Meta, AMD. Losers were down 15% to 90%. Winners went up 400% to 3,000%. The math proves you don’t need to be right all the time. If your winners are much bigger than your losers, you will still come out far ahead.

  Folks,... PSA here. If you are still getting emails from: Geek Squad Norton Anti-Virus PayPal McAfee Best Buy Wal Mart, all telling you about money being taken from your account for anything, 1. look at the email address. That is a big indication it is not legit 2. go right to your bank account. You will see that the money has not gotten withdrawn 3. delete the email and send to spam. If you get a call from someone saying they are a relative, in trouble and need money, hang up and call family members directly. More than likely it's a scam. Calls from the: IRS Social Security Administration Other Governmental Agencies They are scams. No Governmental agency will call you and threaten to imprison you. It's a scam. Job offers via text or phone call, especially telling you to apply over the phone. Scam EZ Pass will not text you. All of their toll violations come via snail mail. US Postal Service and UPS, will not text you that there is a package that is undeliverable. Its a scam Highly recommend you follow @ScammerPayback and watch his youtube channel. Too many people are still falling for these scams. Even though they are years old scams. Too many people also losing their lifes savings as well. Please watch out for those you know that could be vulnerable to these things.
