Caught PayPal's brutal selloff last week - stock got absolutely hammered after they whiffed on earnings and slashed guidance. Down over 20% in a single day, which is pretty wild. Q4 numbers came in light at $6.7B revenue and $1.23 EPS, then management basically said don't expect much from 2026 either. On top of that, the CEO suddenly stepped down and they're bringing in someone from HP to take over. That kind of leadership shake-up usually signals things are messier internally than they look on the surface. The stock market today reflected broader nervousness in the payments space too. Nasdaq dropped 1.43% and you could see similar pressure on other payment processors - Fiserv fell nearly 8% just riding the wave of concern. S&P 500 slipped 0.84% as investors rotated out of growth names. PayPal's still a major player in digital payments, but missing your own targets and cutting guidance is a recipe for getting punished. Trading volume hit 139 million shares, way above normal, so there was definitely real selling pressure here. Interesting to see how the new leadership handles this turnaround attempt over the next quarter or two.
