Movement Alert|PayPal Rises 5.08% in Regular Trading, Post-Acquisition Collapse Rebound Boosted by RBC Target Price Upgrade

Market Focus
Sep 03

On September 3, PayPal rose 5.08% in regular trading, trading at $54.67/share, with turnover of $522 million. The rebound follows a sharp selloff triggered by the collapse of a potential acquisition deal, compounded by a fresh analyst upgrade.

On August 28, Stripe and private equity firm Advent International abandoned their joint bid to acquire PayPal at $60.50 per share, valuing the company at approximately $53 billion. PayPal's board had deemed the offer insufficient. The news sent shares plunging over 14% in pre-market trading that day, with sustained pressure in subsequent sessions. More recently, RBC Capital raised its price target on PayPal from $65 to $70, maintaining an Outperform rating, helping restore market confidence.

Broader sector strength also contributed to the recovery. Within the Transaction and Payment Processing Services sector, Block rose 6.54%, Affirm gained 6.11%, Visa added 1.9%, MasterCard climbed 1.54%, and Fiserv advanced 1.16%, reflecting an industry-wide uplift that supported PayPal's oversold bounce.
