PayPal (PYPL) can't seem to catch a break in 2026. The stock has already dropped 21% year-to-date (YTD), following a rough 2025 in which shares lost nearly a third of their value. Then came a CEO shakeup, a disappointing profit forecast, and now a report that rival Stripe may be eyeing a buyout.
Investors are understandably asking: What do you do with PYPL stock right now?
