PayPal Q1 performance exceeds expectations, but Q2 guidance is weak
Golden Finance reports that on May 6th, digital payment company PayPal (PYPL) announced its Q1 2026 financial results, with net revenue of $8.35 billion, exceeding market estimates of $8.05 billion; adjusted earnings per share of $1.34, higher than the forecasted $1.27.
However, the company’s guidance for the second quarter is cautious, expecting adjusted earnings per share to decrease by approximately 9% quarter-over-quarter, with guidance of $1.34. It also provided full-year guidance for fiscal 2026, with adjusted earnings per share of $5.32 and revenue of $34.06 billion.
Affected by the Q2 guidance being below expectations, PayPal’s U.S. stocks temporarily dropped over 10% during trading, but the decline has narrowed to about 8%.
