## Resource

PayPal’s stock is tanking, down 27% this year despite strong finances and a massive user base that fuels its network effect. With nearly $2 trillion in payments processed last year, its apps remain popular—but growth is sluggish, forcing a CEO change and cost-cutting measures that will likely slash earnings per share. In a competitive landscape where Apple Pay looms large, the company’s low valuation may not signal a bargain, but rather a looming value trap as management struggles to ignite meaningful growth.
