PayPal Stock Soars on Strong Outlook & OpenAI Tie‑Up

PayPal Holdings jolted higher after posting robust third‑quarter results and unveiling a strategic partnership with OpenAI. The payments giant beat earnings expectations, delivered revenue growth of about 7 % year‑over‑year, and boosted its full‑year adjusted earnings per share forecast to $5.35–$5.39. In tandem, PayPal announced that its digital wallet will be integrated into ChatGPT, enabling users to pay and merchants to process transactions seamlessly within the AI platform. The deal marks a leap into so‑called “agentic commerce,” where conversational bots move from chat to checkout. By aligning with OpenAI’s ecosystem, PayPal aims to extend its global merchant network and tap into a new frontier of consumer behaviour. CEO Alex Chriss said the company is well‑positioned to “go from chat to checkout in just a few taps.” The market responded: shares jumped double‑digits after the announcement, reflecting investor enthusiasm toward PayPal’s pivot into AI‑enabled commerce. #PayPal #OpenAI #FintechInnovation #AICommerce #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
