Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openOn October 15, 2026, PayPal announced a partnership with Glance to embed its checkout directly into Glance's ecosystem of more than 60 million devices, including Samsung smart TVs, Motorola phone lock screens, DirecTV Gemini, and Android TV platforms, making PayPal the exclusive checkout provider for purchases made by AI assistants on these screens.
An analyst commentary piece reports PayPal shares are up nearly 14% over six months, the stock trades at 10.3x forward (next-year) earnings versus higher multiples for other fintech companies, and the business generates over $6B in free cash flow annually. The piece highlights cost cuts, Venmo growth, buy-now-pay-later expansion, and consumer engagement as company priorities, with ongoing gross margin pressure noted.
A reported $60.50-per-share takeover offer from Stripe and private equity firm Advent for PayPal was withdrawn in late August without a deal, while PayPal's core online checkout business grew only 2% in payment volume during Q2 2026.
PayPal has partnered with Glance to provide agentic commerce services, enabling AI-powered product discovery to convert into completed transactions.
PayPal, Epic Games, and other app developers raised concerns with the U.S. Department of Justice as it moved toward settling its antitrust case against Apple through a deal focused on interoperability, meaning Apple's systems working more easily with outside apps and services. The article does not specify what the concerns were.
