From google gpt... based on this we've got another year (the contract is 10 years I think). Why PayPal Missed Earnings (Q4 2025): Weak Branded Checkout Growth: The company’s core branded checkout, which accounts for roughly half of its profits, saw growth slow to 1% in the fourth quarter, down significantly from 5%-6% in previous periods. Intense Competition: PayPal is losing market share to competitors like Apple Pay, Stripe, and Google, as well as experiencing headwinds from the "K-shaped" economy, which has impacted lower-to-mid income consumers, a key demographic for the platform. Weak Guidance: Management withdrew previous 2027 targets and provided a weak outlook for 2026, including expected declines in profit and margins. Operational Issues: The company struggled with product deployment and merchant support, failing to move fast enough, according to interim CEO Jamie Miller. Why the CEO was Fired: Poor Execution & Slow Pace of Change: The board indicated that the pace of change and execution was not in line with their expectations, failing to turn around the company's declining share price (which was down roughly 80% over the past five years). Failure to Deliver on Promises: Chriss had promised to prioritize profit and improve the branded checkout experience, but the results showed continued, or worsening, weakness in these areas. Loss of Confidence: The combination of missing expectations and lowering future guidance led the board to seek new leadership to accelerate a turnaround.
How does a payments system improve profit, except through efficiency? They can’t really charge more, can they? Hubby says PayPal now has to compete with the banks, who are using Zelle, and there are more pure payment competitors such as Square and Venmo. So PayPal has a lot more competition to deal with. My son used to work at Square, and I think he said they relied on the float to make money.

Yeah but what about PayPal? Will there be new improvements on the horizon or will the new owner build a new stadium?
How can anyone not know where the merch shop is, it's right there by the entrance. I have never spent a penny there and I know where it is lol not like the stadium is all that big
If you knew my situation, then you would know why I haven’t been. After my leg operation last year, I can’t walk or move around too well so it’s difficult for me to go to a soccer game and sit still for 3 hours. I hope that’s ok with you all.
Thanks! Sadly, other than the game I went to with @mjlee22 (thanks again BTW), I haven't been been able to make it back to PPP.
Even though you have already had a procedure done you can still go get another Dr to see why you have issues still. Edit: My wife sees people come in quite a bit to have "revisions" done on ortho cases from a previous Dr.
