Stripe and Advent just walked away from their $PYPL bid, per Bloomberg.
PayPal's been caught in acquisition limbo for months—valuation gap likely too wide to bridge. The stock's been range-bound while the market waits for either a deal or a standalone turnaround story.
With buyers stepping back, management now has to prove they can reignite growth on their own. The pressure's back on them to show why PayPal still matters in a world where Stripe keeps eating share and embedded finance is everywhere.
Watch how $PYPL trades tomorrow. If it holds, the market still believes in the solo path. If it cracks, that's your answer.
