NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2026, 10:41 EST Wedgewood Partners cut back its stake in PayPal during the fourth quarter, citing a slowdown in transaction volumes late in the period and increased spending that might weigh on profit growth.

PayPal stock slips as Microsoft Copilot Checkout deal puts AI shopping in focus

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 07:10 (EST) — Market closed PayPal shares slipped on Friday, even as Microsoft rolled out a “Copilot Checkout” feature that lets shoppers buy items inside its Copilot chatbot with payments handled by partners including PayPal. PayPal stock closed down 1.05% at $57.66. (Source) The timing matters because PayPal is trying to prove it can still add payment volume without leaning on heavy discounts, and AI-led shopping is quickly turning into a new front door for online spending. If chat-based buying catches on, payments firms want to be the default button. Investors also have little patience.
