As consumers face mounting financial pressures, PayPal is making a bold strategic move to capture market share in the rapidly expanding “Buy Now, Pay Later” sector. The fintech giant is deploying attractive cashback incentives and expanding service capabilities in a bid to revitalize its growth trajectory, though market experts remain divided on the company’s prospects.
The investment research community presents contrasting outlooks for PayPal’s future. Citizens JMP Securities maintains its optimistic “Market Outperform” rating with a $100 price target, emphasizing the company’s advertising business as a promising revenue stream. In contrast, Wolfe Research recently downgraded the stock from “Outperform” to “Peerperform,” projecting a more conservative valuation between $70 and $80 by the end of 2026.
