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.
