  • PayPal's shares fell nearly 10% on Tuesday, after the digital payments giant's unbranded card processing business saw a sharp slowdown in growth and its operating margin shrank in the fourth quarter.

PayPal Holdings Inc. forecasted a 2025 profit above Wall Street estimates, signaling that its turnaround strategy is gaining traction. The company expects adjusted profit per share to be between $5.10 and $5.30 for 2025, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $5.00. This optimistic outlook comes as PayPal focuses on enhancing its branded checkout button, expanding its unbranded checkout solutions, and improving its profitability through cost-cutting measures. CEO Alex Chriss emphasized the company's commitment to innovation and efficiency, aiming to drive growth and shareholder value. The forecast reflects PayPal's efforts to adapt to a competitive digital payments landscape and recover from previous challenges including slower growth and margin pressures.
