PayPal (ISIN US70450Y1038) was at EUR 47.07 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 10:33 a.m. CEST, up 0.41 percent from the EUR 46.88 prior close. UBS reiterated a Neutral rating and a USD 61.00 price target on September 28, 2026, according to Investing.com.
Analyst target stays above the quote
UBS kept its Neutral view after a PayPal investor meeting in New York. The USD 61.00 target gives the analyst view a concrete benchmark against the companys EUR-denominated German quote, although the currencies are not directly comparable.
The wider analyst picture remains cautious. MarketBeat reported a consensus Hold rating and a USD 56.31 average target on September 29, 2026, while also citing concerns about branded-checkout momentum and margin pressure, according to MarketBeat.
Revenue grows as margins face pressure
In the second quarter of 2026, PayPal generated USD 8.68 billion in revenue, up 4.80 percent from the same quarter of 2025. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.38, exceeding the USD 1.28 consensus estimate by USD 0.10, according to MarketBeat.
The operating trend is mixed. Standardized financial data put second-quarter operating profit at USD 1.427 billion and net income at USD 1.104 billion, while the operating margin was 16.00 percent. Revenue growth is therefore being accompanied by a profitability measure that investors will likely compare with the next quarterly update.
October earnings date is confirmed
PayPal has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 earnings call for October 27, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET, according to the companys investor-relations calendar. The next report will put branded checkout growth, transaction economics and the companys outlook under renewed scrutiny.
