Jim Cramer on Paypal: "The Company's Been Late to New Technologies"

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) is one of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks Jim Cramer commented on. Cramer highlighted the stock’s valuation during the episode, as he commented:

“Finally, the fifth-worst performer in the Nasdaq-100 was a real conundrum, PayPal. It was down more than 31% last year. PayPal’s classic payment offerings have mostly become commoditized, and the company’s been late to new technologies like buy now, pay later or stablecoins. That said, PayPal just keeps growing, and the stock’s gotten very cheap. You know, this thing only sells for 10 times this year’s earnings estimates. So far, that hasn’t mattered much to date, but maybe 2026 is the year when PayPal becomes too cheap to ignore. I am flabbergasted about how poorly the stock has acted under not just one, but two different CEOs for multiple years now.”

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) runs a digital payments platform that lets consumers and merchants pay, send, and receive money online and in person. The company’s services include payments, checkout, credit, and money transfer products. A caller asked about Cramer’s opinion on the company’s CEO during the October 22 2025 episode, and the Mad Money host responded:

“No, no, no, no, no, no. He has gotta start delivering numbers. I mean like I can’t, hey… the guy’s gotta start delivering numbers. That is often the case. It’s kind of like, you know, an NFL team. If they’re not delivering numbers, I’m not going to come here and say, boy, how about them Titans?”
