PayPal Holdings' stock performance compared to that of the S&P 500?
PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL), a financial technology company based in San Jose, California, has experienced a turbulent period recently. The company's stock has plunged 19.8% on a year-to-date (YTD) basis, according to data available.
This downturn can be attributed to a decrease in the number of payment transactions done through PayPal's platform. The figure dropped 5.4% year-over-year to 6.2 billion. Despite this, PayPal's revenues for the quarter increased 5% year-over-year to $8.3 billion.
The stock's performance stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500 Index (SPX), which has surged 17.8% over the past year and 8.9% over the past three months. PayPal's underperformance is even more pronounced when compared to its peer, PayPal has a 10.9% decline in 2025, while the S&P 500 Index has surged 10.6% in the same period.
Notably, PayPal has underperformed Block, Inc.'s (XYZ) 18.2% gains over the past 52 weeks. However, the mean price target of $81.17 for PYPL suggests an 18.6% upside potential from current price levels. The stock maintains a consensus "Moderate Buy" rating among the 44 analysts covering it.
