Event Summary

A class action lawsuit has been filed against PayPal Holdings, Inc. and certain of its officers by Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC. The lawsuit alleges that PayPal made materially false and misleading statements regarding its projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth between February 25, 2025, and February 2, 2026. Specifically, the complaint claims that PayPal downplayed risks from seasonality and macroeconomic conditions, and that its growth strategy, centered on Branded Checkout offerings, was not realistically achievable due to an unstable consumer environment and a lack of strong execution under CEO James Alexander Chriss. Investors who purchased PayPal securities during the specified period are encouraged to join the lawsuit.
