Intuit or PayPal: Which Fintech Is Built for Future Growth?
Intuit and PayPal are both investing heavily in AI and expanding their financial services ecosystems. However, Intuit appears better positioned for long-term growth with stronger revenue growth (14% YoY), broader cross-selling opportunities, and more established growth engines across QuickBooks, payments, and mid-market solutions. PayPal is undergoing a multiyear transformation focused on Venmo, BNPL, and financial services, but faces slower growth (5% YoY) and execution challenges. Both stocks carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating.
Why PayPal Stock Just Crashed
PayPal rejected a $60.50 per share acquisition offer from Stripe, Advent, and Block worth $53 billion, seeking higher compensation. After the bidders withdrew their offer, PayPal stock plummeted 12% to $54. However, the stock remains fairly valued at under 12x earnings with potential for future acquisition interest.
Block Pushes Square Further Into Restaurants: Can Growth Accelerate?
Block's Square division is expanding its restaurant business with partnerships like Cascadia Pizza Co., OpenTable, and The Baked Bear. In Q2 2026, Square's food-and-beverage GPV grew 20% and overall gross profit increased 13% to $1.16 billion. Block reported strong profitability with $3.17 billion gross profit and expects $12.51 billion in full-year 2026 gross profit. Competitors PayPal and Adyen are also expanding their payment partnerships in the restaurant and software sectors.
Why Is Paypal (PYPL) Up 5.9% Since Last Earnings Report?
PayPal reported Q2 2026 earnings of $1.38 EPS (beating estimates by 7.81%) and revenues of $8.68 billion (up 5% YoY), driven by strong TPV growth of 10% and momentum in Venmo and Braintree. However, operating margins contracted 248 basis points due to continued investment spending. Despite raising full-year guidance, estimate revisions have trended downward over the past month, resulting in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating.
PayPal Grows Its Volume Every Year. Here's Why the Stock Doesn't Always Follow.
PayPal's total payment volume grew 10% year-over-year to $486 billion in Q2, but the stock remains down 81% from its 2021 peak. The company's most profitable segment, online branded checkout, has significantly underperformed with only 2% TPV growth in Q2, compared to 26% annualized growth during 2018-2021. Intense competition from Apple Pay and weak branded checkout performance are pressuring the stock despite overall business growth.
