<h3 id="paypal-raises-guidance-for-full-year-2024">PayPal Raises Guidance for Full Year 2024</h3>
<p>PayPal has raised its full-year guidance, reflecting the company’s strong performance and positive outlook. For the third quarter of 2024, PayPal expects revenue growth in the mid-single-digit range. The GAAP EPS is projected to be between $0.96 and $0.98, and non-GAAP EPS growth is anticipated to be in the high single-digit range.</p>
<p>For the full year 2024, PayPal has revised its GAAP EPS guidance to a range of $3.88 to $3.98, up from the previous estimate of approximately $3.65. The non-GAAP EPS growth is now expected to be in the low to mid-teens, compared to the previous guidance of mid- to high-single digits. This upward revision in guidance demonstrates PayPal’s confidence in its business model and growth strategy.</p>
<p>The company also plans to increase its share repurchases, further indicating its strong financial position and commitment to returning value to shareholders. With a robust balance sheet and a positive outlook for the remainder of the year, PayPal is well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities and continue delivering strong financial performance.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
