  • PayPal Expands Venmo Stash Rewards to Boost Transactions
    April 16, 2026, 2:33 PM EDT. PayPal's Venmo is enlarging its Stash rewards program to offer up to 5% cash back at select lifestyle brands like Sephora and Taco Bell. This move targets younger, digitally savvy consumers, aiming to increase transaction volume and monthly active accounts, which have already seen double-digit growth.

Despite these initiatives, PayPal's shares have fallen 13.4% over three months, underperforming the S&P 500. However, PYPL trades cheaply with a forward P/E of 9.10 versus the industry's 16.91, highlighting potential value amid negative earnings estimate revisions.
