The offer values PayPal at $60.50 per share, a 28% premium over its pre-announcement close, but directors believe it undervalues the company's turnaround potential. Stripe and Advent have secured roughly $50bn in committed debt financing from JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley, signaling serious intent and suggesting they may raise their offer. Antitrust concerns loom large given the combined group's dominance in online checkout, with Braintree potentially being carved out as a remedy. PayPal, advised by Goldman Sachs and Evercore, has seen its market cap fall from ~$360bn at its 2021 peak to ~$36bn, while Stripe's private valuation of ~$159bn now exceeds PayPal's market cap fourfold. Investor Michael Burry publicly argued fair value is closer to $75–$115 per share. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
