Summary
US payment service Stripe and private equity firm Advent International are considering a joint acquisition of PayPal for more than $53 bln, Reuters reported, citing sources. Founded in the late 1990s, PayPal was an early player in digital payments, but has faced competition as consumers have embraced alternative payment methods and rivals such as Apple Pay and Google Pay have gained market share. Despite the decline, PayPal boasts over 430 mln consumer accounts, which will enable Stripe that is primarily focused on merchants, to establish direct relationships with consumers.
Furthermore, Reuters first reported the news late on Tuesday. The price per share at which Stripe and Advent International are considering acquiring PayPal is $60.5, which is 28% higher than the latest closing price. The offer represents around a 28% premium to PayPal’s closing share price on Tuesday.
In addition, Stripe and Advent have not received a response from PayPal and are seeking to advance discussions in the coming weeks, the sources said. In recent years, the company has faced slowing growth and intensifying competition amid the rising popularity of Apple Pay and Google Pay.
