Hey, did you see this news about PayPal? Apparently the company isn't selling to Stripe or anyone else, but is preparing for possible shareholder attacks. Like, they've been working with investment banks for months to defend against hostile takeovers.
What happened is that PayPal's stock dropped significantly, and the management team got worried that this made the company vulnerable. Imagine, anyone using a PayPal account or any of their services must be watching this closely. This move started back when the former CEO Alex Chriss was in charge, who was fired earlier this year.
It's like when a company starts to brace itself because it feels it might become a target. PayPal is acting before something worse happens. Interesting to see how these giants move when their stocks fall, right?
