PayPal's Board Deems Stripe-Advent's $53 Billion Bid Too Low
PayPal's directors doubt that Stripe and Advent International can even close the deal, valuation aside.
- Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International jointly bid $53 billion for PayPal.
- Board members flagged antitrust review as one hurdle to closing the acquisition.
- Financing for the buyout also remains unresolved, adding to the board's doubts.
Why it matters: Calling a price too low is a bargaining move, not a verdict on true value.
