Read MoreHide Full Article
PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 3.
PYPL projects third-quarter revenues at $6.8 billion, suggesting growth of 10% on a current spot rate basis and 12% on a currency-neutral basis from the respective year-ago quarter’s reported figures. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.82 billion, indicating an improvement of 10.3% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
PayPal envisions non-GAAP earnings in the range of 94-96 cents per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 95 per share, suggesting a decline of 14.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Further, the figure has been stable over the past 30 days.
PYPL’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters, missed the same once and met on another occasion, the average surprise being 3.07%.
The impacts of PayPal’s robust product portfolio, including Venmo and merchant services, are anticipated to get reflected in third-quarter results.
Strong monetization efforts of Venmo are likely to have aided its adoption rate in the to-be-reported quarter.
Robust PayPal Checkout experiences are expected to have sustained PYPL’s momentum in the quarter under review.
PayPal is expected to have gained from the growing proliferation of buy now pay later (BNPL) solution on the back of its strong offerings. PYPL Pay Monthly is likely to have continued aiding its customer momentum.
Strengthening offerings for small businesses are likely to have aided growth in PayPal’s payments volume in the to-be-reported quarter.

For the third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for active customer accounts is pegged at 438 million, indicating 5.3% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for payment transactions per active user is pegged at 49.41 million, suggesting growth of 11.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.
