PayPal Eyes Sale Talks With Stripe-Advent Group After Rejected Bid

PayPal is reportedly in talks to sell itself to a Stripe-led consortium including Advent International after turning down Stripe’s $60.50-per-share bid, fueling speculation of a higher offer. A deal would combine PayPal’s consumer network (Venmo, Braintree) with Stripe to create a payments platform handling roughly $3.7 trillion in annual volume, but would face regulatory scrutiny. No agreement is signed yet. PayPal’s Q2 results beat expectations ($8.68B revenue, $1.38 non-GAAP EPS) and the stock rose on the deal chatter, as investors weigh the possibility of a higher bid or a partial carve-out.

PayPal at a crossroads as bidders circle a take-private bid

PayPal is reportedly facing a take-private bid around $53 billion from Stripe and Advent International, with the board seeking more than $60.50 a share and weighing whether the company should remain intact or be broken up for asset sales. The move comes as PayPal lags rivals like Apple Pay and struggles to accelerate growth, prompting questions about value as a single entity versus its components (e.g., Venmo). Stripe and Advent have reportedly lined up about $17 billion in equity and $50 billion in financing, though competing bids seem unlikely.

PayPal stock soars on Stripe-Advent buyout bid at $60.50 a share

PayPal stock jumped after Reuters reported that Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have submitted a buyout offer to acquire PayPal at $60.50 a share, valuing the company at more than $53 billion with a proposed 50/50 ownership split and about $50 billion in committed financing. PayPal and Stripe declined to comment, Advent did not respond, and the move comes amid fierce payments competition from Apple, Block, Stripe and BNPL firms; some investors, including Michael Burry, say the bid undervalues the company and would require a higher price to reflect a control premium.
