PayPal (PYPL) received an upgrade from Truist Financial, moving from Sell to Hold with a price target of $57, signaling a modest upside from the prior close. Other analysts also adjusted their views, including UBS, Daiwa, Mizuho, Piper Sandler, and Zacks, as the Street collectively shows a mix of Hold and Buy ratings with a consensus around Hold and an average target near $54.96. The ongoing coverage underscores a cautious but improving outlook, with seven Buy ratings, thirty-five Holds, and four Sells among analysts. PayPal’s latest quarterly results, reported May 5, showed EPS of $1.34 on revenue of $8.35 billion, beating expectations and reflecting a strong margin and ROE, alongside year-over-year revenue growth. A note from Truist highlights potential strategic considerations, including the possibility of a Stripe/Advent takeout, which could influence the stock’s risk-reward. Overall, the market is weighing a turnaround narrative for PayPal against elevated merger-and-acquisition hopes and mixed analyst momentum.
