PayPal Holdings, Inc. (US70450Y1038) traded at $62.27 on August 26, 2026, with a market cap of $53.27 billion after its June quarter beat. The company reported $1.38 in earnings per share and $8.68 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, both above consensus.
Quarter figures still set the tone
MarketBeat said PayPal's quarterly EPS beat estimates by $0.10, while revenue rose 4.8% year over year. The same report also put the dividend at $0.14 a share and the average analyst target at $56.28, below the reported share price.
That gap matters because the stock now trades above the average target even after a strong post-earnings run. The 50-day moving average stood at $52.88 and the 200-day moving average at $47.77, leaving the shares above both trend lines.
Consensus stays cautious
Yahoo Finance showed PayPal at $61.81 at 12:02 p.m. EDT on August 26, 2026, while its analyst page listed current-year EPS estimates at $5.39 and current-quarter revenue estimates at $8.71 billion. The same page showed 33 analysts on revenue and 36 on earnings for the September 2026 quarter.
Those numbers point to a business that is still growing, but not fast enough to pull the Street into a more bullish stance. For now, the market is paying more for the earnings beat and dividend than for a fresh rerating from analysts.
Venmo remains central
Venmo remains one of PayPal's core products, alongside the wallet and checkout stack that still drive the company's consumer and merchant reach. In the same earnings set, PayPal's quarterly revenue of $8.68 billion was up from $8.36 billion in the prior-year quarter.
Price and scale
