PayPal's Q1 2025 performance was strong, with $7.8 billion in revenue and a non-GAAP EPS of $1.33, beating estimates by $0.17. Despite doubling revenue and net income since 2017 and allocating $30 billion to share repurchases, PYPL shares remain undervalued, trading at 2017 levels. I recommend shifting from share repurchases to a hybrid approach of dividends and buybacks to unlock value and attract dividend-focused investors.

PayPal's first-quarter 2025 results benefit from strong payment volume amid challenging macroeconomic conditions.
PayPal Holdings, Inc. reported better-than-expected Q1 earnings, with a significant EPS beat, despite a slight revenue miss, and shares are currently trading at an attractive valuation. The company demonstrated strong cost controls, reducing operating expenses by 2%, which contributed to a 16% increase in operating profits and a 23% EPS growth. PayPal continues to execute substantial share buybacks, reducing its share count by 1.5% in Q1 alone, with plans for $6 billion in buybacks this year.
Although the revenue and EPS for Paypal (PYPL) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended March 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.
Here's our initial take on PayPal's (PYPL 0.08%) fiscal 2025 first-quarter financial report.
A Mizuho analyst was impressed by PayPal's performance on several closely watched metrics, including transaction margin dollars, which measures the profitability of payment volume.

Retail sales growth data in PayPal Holdings, Inc.'s key markets (U.S., UK, and Germany) suggests a top-line revenue beat scenario for the upcoming Q1 FY25 earnings release. There are risks of guidance misses for Q2 and beyond due to a potential recession and weakening consumer sentiment. Some analysts have started to downgrade their estimates for FY25. Updates on PayPal's one platform integration and new branded checkout experience rollout across global markets are key focus points in the Q1 earnings call.

Few Wall Street money managers have the ability to command the attention of professional and everyday investors quite like the aptly dubbed "Oracle of Omaha," Warren Buffett. Since Buffett took over as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A -0.33%) (BRK.B -0.11%) in the mid-1960s, he's overseen a cumulative return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) of 6,441,524%, as of the closing bell on April 24.
