PayPal (PYPL) Holdings Inc. Stock Upgraded
Seaport Global upgraded PayPal (PYPL) to Neutral from Sell on July 14, 2025, following a steep 5.7% decline in the stock just days earlier.
📉 What Triggered the Drop?
- On July 11, PYPL shares fell 5.7%.
- The sell-off was partly due to reports that JPMorgan is considering charging fintechs — like PayPal — for access to customer financial data, which could add costs and affect operations for companies in the space.
🔁 Why the Upgrade Now?
- Seaport Global appears to believe downside risks are now priced in, justifying a move from bearish to neutral.
- No bullish outlook was given, but the shift signals reduced concern after the stock’s recent dip.
💬 While not a vote of confidence, the upgrade reflects a reset in expectations following a tough week for PayPal and other fintech names.
