PayPal Board Says $53bn Stripe-Advent Takeover Bid Undervalues Company
Summary
PayPal’s board is reviewing a $53 billion takeover proposal from Stripe and Advent International. The company believes the offer undervalues its long-term turnaround potential and is weighing financing, timing, and regulatory approval. Stripe and Advent have arranged substantial debt and equity financing and have discussed ways to address antitrust concerns, including possible asset separations. The deal would combine two major online payments players and could create a much larger digital payments platform if approved. Investors are watching PayPal’s next earnings report for signs that its core business is improving.
