Stripe hits a $159B valuation after private-share sale, delaying IPO

Stripe’s latest employee-share sale lifts its private-market valuation to $159 billion, letting it stay private longer while focusing on AI and stablecoins rather than a public listing. Investors including Thrive Capital, Coatue and Andreessen Horowitz bought stock, with Stripe also purchasing shares itself. The company processed $1.9 trillion in payments in 2025, up 34% year over year, and reported profitability for a second straight year as it expands globally and leans into AI-enabled, consumer-friendly payments.

PayPal takeover chatter sparks stock rally

PayPal (PYPL) jumped about 5.7% to around $44 after reports of unsolicited takeover interest from at least one rival, with volume surging well above its three‑month average. The move came as major indices fell, and PayPal trades far below its all‑time high, making a potential bid seem more attractive to buyers while investors caution that takeover chatter isn’t a reason to aggressively own the stock.

PayPal Stock Surges as Takeover Talk Draws Private-Equity and Strategic Bid Interest

PayPal stock jumped after Bloomberg reported unsolicited takeover interest, with analysts saying the company may be undervalued at about seven times next year’s earnings and could attract private‑equity or strategic buyers; there’s even chatter about spinning out Venmo, and potential bidders could include large tech or financial players (e.g., for Venmo) as the fintech landscape shifts.

Lies, Leverage, and a looming finale in Industry’s Episode 7

In Industry's penultimate episode, truth is a toxic asset as Whitney and Henry push a hostile Pierpoint takeover to salvage Tender, while Yasmin and Harper weaponize media and politics. Whitney is momentarily sidelined by a kidnapping-style pressure sequence, yet his performance at the Pierpoint meeting barely holds, only for Pierpoint to flip toward Temasek, collapsing Tender’s leverage and leaving Henry’s world in flux as Harper and Yasmin lean into a fraught, revelatory bond ahead of the finale.

SoFi Falls Below $25: A Long-Term Buy or Watchlist Entry?

SoFi Falls Below $25: A Long-Term Buy or Watchlist Entry?

SoFi Technologies slid to about $22 after dipping below $25, even as the fintech lender reports robust growth, 12.6 million members, and a Q3 with record revenue ($950M) and eight straight quarters of profitability. Its strong position is aided by AI tools like Cash Coach, but the stock still trades at a high forward P/E (~44.8), suggesting it may not be cheap for quick profits. Long-term investors with higher risk tolerance might view this as a buying opportunity, while short-term traders may prefer to wait or watch for a lower entry.
