PayPal Is No Longer a Growth Story — My 2026 Downgrade and Actionable Short
PayPal looks like a cash machine that can no longer grow into its historic narrative. Weak execution on Branded Checkout, a surprise CEO exit, and multiple securities suits make the upside story fragile. At around $44, I recommend a mid-term short with tight risk controls: entry $44.00, stop $47.00, target $30.00 (45 trading days).
