Cointelegraph
PayPal is reportedly reviewing unsolicited takeover interest from rivals and investors following a significant 46% drop in its stock price over the past year.Summary
PayPal Holdings has reportedly attracted unsolicited buyout approaches from unnamed investors, including an industry rival interested in acquiring the entire company, after its stock plummeted nearly 46% over the last year. While shares jumped following the news, discussions are in early stages with no guarantee of a deal. The company has been pursuing a turnaround strategy, which included positioning its stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD), as a key innovation; PYUSD has since surpassed $4 billion in market capitalization. However, this strategy has been complicated by the recent removal of then-CEO Alex Chriss following disappointing Q4 2025 results, with Enrique Lores tapped to lead the next phase.
