Description: PYPL PayPal Holdings January 29, 2026

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) runs a global technology platform that links merchants and consumers, enabling online, in-person, and peer-to-peer payments through a suite of brands-including PayPal, Venmo, Braintree, Xoom, Zettle, Hyperwallet, Honey, and Paidy. The two-sided network supports multiple funding sources such as bank accounts, credit/debit cards, PayPal balances, and even cryptocurrencies, while also offering stored-value products like gift cards and rewards.

In its most recent fiscal quarter (Q4 2025), PayPal reported a 9% year-over-year increase in total payment volume (TPV) to $1.45 trillion, driven primarily by growth in Braintree and Venmo, while active accounts rose 5% to 426 million. Revenue reached $7.2 billion, up 8% YoY, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 22%, reflecting continued cost-discipline after the 2023-24 restructuring.

Key macro and sector drivers remain robust: global e-commerce sales are projected to grow at a 7% CAGR through 2028, and the “buy-now-pay-later” (BNPL) market-where PayPal’s PayPal Credit participates-has a cumulative transaction value of $1.2 trillion in 2025, indicating expanding consumer financing demand. However, rising interest rates and tighter credit conditions could pressure discretionary spending and BNPL adoption, introducing downside risk to PayPal’s credit-linked revenue streams.
