Fintech gains momentum as StoneCo, Block and PayPal reshape payments, lending and banking, drawing investors to fast-growing digital finance platforms.
Bank of America on Thursday downgraded PayPal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL, XETRA:2PP) to “Neutral,” warning that the company's effort to revive growth in its core branded checkout business is taking longer than expected and that 2026 is shaping up to be an investment-heavy year. Analysts said the firm is stepping to the sidelines until there is clearer evidence that PayPal's turnaround is gaining traction.
PYPL expands its ecosystem through new partnerships across major platforms to boost seamless commerce.
