Transaction margin (TM) dollarsโ€”excluding interest on customer balancesโ€”are expected to grow 6โ€“7% in 2025. He emphasized accelerating revenue growth from a focus on profitable growth. PayPal initiated its first dividend, complementing its ongoing share buybacks as part of a broader capital return program. The company targets โ‰ฅ15% non-GAAP EPS growth in 2025, with long-term goals of high single-digit TM growth and non-GAAP EPS growth in the teens. Branded experiences TPV rose 8% currency-neutral, with U.S. up 10%. BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) volumes grew 20%+, and Venmo showed strong momentum TPV up 14% in Q3, up from 12% in Q2 and 9% in 2024. CFO Jamie Miller reported accelerating TPV and revenue growth (both +2 points QoQ). TM dollars (ex-interest) grew 7%, and non-GAAP operating income rose 6%, driving 12% EPS growth despite lower interest rates. ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™˜๐™ž๐™–๐™ก๐™จ: Non-GAAP EPS: +12% YoY Adjusted free cash flow: $2.3B (Q3); $4.3B YTD Total Payment Volume (TPV): $458B Branded experiences TPV: +8% (currency-neutral), U.S. +10% Venmo TPV: +14%, active users +25% Transaction take rate: 1.64% (โ€“3 bps, due to mix and FX) Share repurchases: $1.5B Cash & investments: $14.4B ๐™Š๐™ช๐™ฉ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ค๐™ : Q4 currency-neutral revenue growth: mid-single digits Q4 TM dollars: $4.02Bโ€“$4.12B (~3.5% growth midpoint) Full-year non-GAAP EPS: $5.35โ€“$5.39 (15โ€“16% growth) Full-year TM dollars: $15.45Bโ€“$15.55B (5โ€“6% growth) Increased investment in product attachment, marketing, and brand campaigns Non-transaction OpEx: low single-digit growth in Q4; ~3% for full year PayPal shows solid operational execution, accelerating growth, and expanding shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks, while maintaining disciplined cost management and reinvestment for long-term profitability. ๐™๐™ž๐™จ๐™ ๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ: Macroeconomic uncertainty: โ€œChoppy global macro trendsโ€ and softer consumer discretionary spending in both Europe and the U.S. could pressure Q4 growth. Transaction losses: Increased due to a temporary August service disruption and higher volume-based expenses, though improvement was seen versus last quarter. Guidance caution: Outlook reflects prudent planning for potential deceleration and tough year-over-year comparisons against strong 2024 holiday spending. Investment headwinds: Higher spending on product development and marketing will weigh on transaction margin and EPS growth in the short term. ๐™๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ก ๐™๐™–๐™ ๐™š๐™–๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฎ: PayPal is operating from a position of greater strength and profitability, with balanced growth across branded payments, PSP, and Venmo. Management raised guidance for non-GAAP EPS and transaction margin dollars, supported by strong Venmo and BNPL momentum, AI-driven partnerships, and enhanced capital returns through buybacks and a new dividend. However, leadership remains cautious about macroeconomic headwinds and near-term margin pressure, while maintaining long-term confidence in capturing a larger share of digital commerce growth. ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™›๐™ค๐™ก๐™ž๐™ค ๐™‹๐™š๐™ง๐™›๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š: ๐ŸŸฉ ๐™”๐™๐˜ฟ ๐™๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ: 30,09% ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐ŸŸฉ ๐Ÿฎ-๐™”๐™š๐™–๐™ง ๐™๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ: 104,52% ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ โš ๏ธRisk level 5 โš ๏ธ Thank you for your trust and remember stay green! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰ www.etoro.com/people/madmanyuri
