PayPal plunges as dramatic CEO shift coincides with slowing growth

PayPal’s stock fell about 20% after it posted slowing growth in its branded-checkout business and announced a dramatic leadership change, naming Enrique Lores of HP as the new CEO effective March 1. Q4 branded-checkout growth slowed to 1% (currency-adjusted) from ~5% in the prior two quarters, with weakness in U.S. retail, international headwinds and tough comps cited.
