Woofun AI reports that Stripe and Advent International have jointly proposed to acquire PayPal for $60.5 per share, implying a total valuation exceeding $53 billion. This offer represents a 28% premium over PayPal's previous closing price and is supported by approximately $50 billion in financing from multiple banks. Under the proposed terms, Stripe and Advent would each hold half of PayPal's shares. Following the announcement, PayPal's stock price rose nearly 16% intraday to $54.935, with trading volume surpassing $2.1 billion. PayPal has not yet responded to the proposal, and the transaction's completion remains uncertain, despite preliminary discussions held in April.
