Block Shares Climb After Q1 Report — Here's Why

PayPal shares dropped 9% following Q1 2026 earnings despite beating revenue expectations. The company's core branded checkout business grew only 2%, margins contracted, and management warned of further earnings declines in Q2. While the stock trades at a cheap 9x earnings multiple, intense competition from Apple Pay, Block, and Stripe, combined with weak international performance and admitted years of technology underinvestment, suggest the turnaround may take years to materialize.
