The short version

In October 2025 Stocks with Josh named PayPal their favorite pick from that month's watchlist. They called it extremely undervalued next to Visa and Mastercard, given its tech edge and AI opportunity, and said it could ultimately reach $180 once it began to move. They said they would keep adding if MACD and RSI buy signals continued. Later in October 2025, after a sharp market drop, they said they would stick with PayPal through the month. They then said they had some LEAPs but were not adding, because the stock was not showing strength. In late October 2025, after the OpenAI partnership news, they said they were holding.

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Stocks with Josh's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is PYPL's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. If the stock has split since a quote, the card shows the price it traded at that day and, beneath it, the split-adjusted close the % change uses. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-10-19. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.

Coverage: 229 of 229 videos published since 2025-09-10 covered; 122 PayPal mentions found. Prices as of 2026-10-19.
