PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL)

This lawsuit is for anyone who acquired securities in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) from February 25, 2025 through February 2, 2026.

The lawsuit alleges that the Company and certain of its executives violated federal law. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that, throughout the time period mentioned above, the Company misled investors regarding its financial condition. More specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the Company misled investors by failing to timely inform investors that the Company was failing to efficiently execute on its branded checkout.

On February 3, 2026, PayPal announced a surprise leadership change, replacing Chief Executive Officer Alex Chriss. PayPal noted in its announcement “the pace of change and execution was not in line with the Board’s expectations.” The leadership change coincided with the Company’s fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings report, wherein PayPal missed consensus estimates for both revenue and profit, reporting adjusted earnings per share of $1.23 (vs. $1.29 expected) and revenue of $8.68 billion (vs. $8.79 billion expected). The Company further admitted “execution has not been where it needs to be, particularly in branded checkout.” On this news, the price of the Company’s stock dropped precipitously on unusually heavy trading volume.
