PayPal - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

PayPal
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in PayPal Holdings, Inc.:

The current stock price is around $73.43, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in the tech sector.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. reported a strong earnings per share of $1.33, exceeding analysts' expectations, indicating robust financial performance.
The company has shown a year-over-year revenue growth of 1.2%, suggesting stability and potential for future growth in a competitive market.
With a market capitalization of approximately $71.41 billion, PayPal Holdings, Inc. is a significant player in the digital payments industry, which is expected to continue expanding.
The stock has a relatively low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.31, which may indicate that it is undervalued compared to its earnings potential.

PayPal
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in PayPal Holdings, Inc. for these reasons:

Several analysts have recently downgraded their price targets for PayPal Holdings, Inc., with some setting targets as low as $68.00, indicating a lack of confidence in short-term performance.
The company has a relatively high beta of 1.51, suggesting that its stock price is more volatile than the market, which could lead to greater risk for investors.
Despite a positive earnings report, the revenue fell short of expectations, which may raise concerns about future growth prospects.
With a consensus rating of "Hold" from analysts, there may be limited upside potential in the near term, making it less attractive for aggressive investors.
