(NASDAQ:PYPL) has declined more than 14.5% since its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings release on October 28. Wall Street maintains a cautious outlook on the stock despite the earnings beat in the latest quarter, mainly due to anticipated weakness in its Branded Checkout total payment volume during the next quarter.

​On December 5, Nate Svensson from Deutsche Bank lowered the firm’s price target on the stock from $75 to $65, while reiterating a Hold rating. Earlier on December 4, Timothy Chiodo from UBS also reiterated a Hold rating on the stock with a $80 price target.

​Analyst Timothy Chiodo of UBS noted that Jamie S. Miller, PayPal’s Chief Financial and Operating Officer, pointed towards a deceleration in the company’s Branded Checkout total payment volume in Q4 2025. This is mainly due to a challenging year-over-year comparison, which the management anticipates fading in Q4, and the ongoing macroeconomic pressures.
