PYPL is trading at 2.1% up now at $44.98 after a recent analyst upgrade and index re-inclusion boosted sentiment. The stock was lifted on July 01, 2026 by Piper Sandler raising its rating to “Hold” and PayPal’s re-inclusion in the Russell Midcap and Midcap Value indexes, which has attracted contrarian dip-buying interest in a deeply oversold stock.
