Description: PYPL PayPal Holdings December 03, 2025

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 a variety of funding sources such as bank accounts, PayPal/Venmo balances, credit cards, consumer credit products, and even cryptocurrencies, while also offering stored-value options like gift cards and rewards.

Key recent metrics illustrate the company’s scale and challenges: FY 2023 total payment volume (TPV) reached approximately $1.5 trillion, a 7 % YoY increase, while revenue grew 12 % to $27.5 billion; however, net income fell 35 % as operating expenses rose amid heightened competition and inflation-driven cost pressures. Core growth drivers include the continued expansion of e-commerce, the rising adoption of digital wallets in emerging markets, and the integration of “Buy-Now-Pay-Later” credit products, which together shape the transaction-processing sector’s outlook.
