To: All persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“ PayPal ” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PYPL) between February 25, 2025, to February 2, 2026, inclusive. You are hereby notified that the class action lawsuit Aaron B. Goodman v. PayPal Holdings, Inc., et al. (Case No. 3:26-cv-01381) has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. To get more information go to:

According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with material information concerning PayPal ’s expected financial targets for 2027 alongside the growth trajectory for its core branded checkout segment (“Branded Checkout”). Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in PayPal ’s ability to capitalize on its growth potential through new initiatives to facilitate Branded Checkout growth both in the U.S. and internationally. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of PayPal ’s salesforce; notably, that it was not truly equipped to execute on the Company’s perceived growth potential and were “too optimistic” as to how easily and expeditiously its staff could change customer adoption
On February 3, 2026, PayPal announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025, unveiling disappointing earnings results with worsening performance in Branded Checkout. The Company also unveiled a sudden and surprising transition of its Chief Executive Officer role alongside the below-expectation results. PayPal further withdrew its 2027 financial targets provided one year before and announced projections that suggested a slowdown against those prior targets. PayPal attributed its results and lowered guidance to a combination of macroeconomic factors competition, and “operational and deployment issues” across all regions.
Following this news, the price of PayPal ’s common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $52.33 per share on February 2, 2026, PayPal ’s stock price fell to $41.70 per share on February 3, 2026, a decline of about 20.31% in the span of just a single day.
