PayPal's Board Reportedly Called $60.50 a Share Inadequate. The Stock Trades at $56.
Yahoo Finance ·
There are now three public opinions about what PayPal ( PYPL +0.28% ) is worth. A buyout group says $60.50 per share. The market says about $56. And the average analyst price target says about $53 -- below not just the offer, but the stock's current price. The newest of the three opinions belongs to PayPal's board, which reportedly views the $60.50-per-share cash offer from privately held payments company Stripe and private equity firm Advent International as inadequate, according to multiple reports. The bid valued the payments specialist at more than $53 billion. Notably, PayPal hasn't publicly responded to the proposal. Reports say board discussions have centered on whether the bid is high enough to warrant opening negotiations at all. For shareholders, that leaves an odd setup: a stock pinned between an offer above the market price and an analyst consensus below it. Each number is telling investors something different, and it's worth taking them one at a time. The bid itself came with roughly $50 billion in committed bank financing, and the offer price represented a 28% premium to where PayPal traded before news of the bid broke on July 15. Shares jumped 17% that day and closed at $55.52.
AI 시장 분석
The board of directors considers the $53 billion, $60.50 per share all-cash acquisition offer for PayPal proposed by Stripe and Advent International to be insufficient. The current stock price is trading around the $56 level, falling short of the $60.50 acquisition offer price. Investors are required to make complex investment decisions amidst the divergence between market prices, acquisition offer prices, and analyst target prices.
