Bullish on PayPal (PYPL) as of 2026-11-08: $6.58B Free cash flow TTM. We put PayPal's $6.58B in free cash flow, its 31% share retirement and three DCF scenarios side by side to see whether a 9.3x P/E is a value trap or a real margin of safety. Revenue is growing only 2% and Apple Pay is squeezing checkout, so the cash numbers tell you more than the story the market is telling.
