Event Summary

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has announced an investigation into PayPal Holdings, Inc. following the company's release of a dismal 2026 financial outlook. PayPal Holdings, Inc. projects a decline in transaction margin dollars and significantly slower revenue growth, attributing this to weaker checkout growth, a challenging macroeconomic environment, and heightened competition from entities like Stripe, Block, Inc.'s Square, and Apple Inc.===Apple Pay. The investigation aims to determine if PayPal Holdings, Inc.'s management withheld material information from public shareholders regarding deteriorating business trends, especially given that analysts from Morgan Stanley and Rothschild & Co had previously raised concerns.
