PayPal is trying to become “the button” again
TL;DR
Quick Summary
- PayPal’s 2026 story is about execution: the company replaced CEO Alex Chriss and installed Enrique Lores effective March 1, 2026.
- PayPal is still a serious cash generator, with $6.4B adjusted free cash flow in FY 2025, plus a new dividend and ongoing buybacks.
- Fastlane is the product bet: PayPal said it can cut guest-checkout time by 36%+ (Investor Day Feb. 25, 2025), and it’s been broadly available to U.S. merchants since Aug. 6, 2024.
