PayPal Holdings, Inc.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) has a dated report snapshot, but its current priced-in claim is temporarily suppressed because the live engine record is unavailable or has changed.
- At about $42 (as of June 27, 2026) PayPal trades near 7 times operating income, low enough that the price sits below what even a modest ongoing decline in operating profit would warrant. Every valuation family supports the price, which is rare for a business of this quality. - The balance sheet is strong, with net debt near zero, interest coverage above 13 times, and a buyback shrinking the share count by roughly 6% a year. A 17.9% operating margin says the business is still highly profitable.
