So PayPal just popped like 6% today while basically everything financial was getting crushed. Apparently there's buyout interest according to Bloomberg - some big competitor might grab the whole thing or just pick off pieces like Venmo and Braintree. Wild considering the stock is down almost 87% from its peak and their CEO just bailed after his turnaround plan went nowhere. They missed earnings bad too. The thing is, it's trading at like 8x earnings now which honestly looks cheap on paper, but yeah, a sale might actually be the best case scenario at this point. I mean without a buyout happening, what's the actual path forward here? The numbers just don't look great. Interesting to watch though - reminds me why diversification matters when you're betting on turnarounds.
