Introduction

PayPal has a new plan. It now has three different parts.

Main Body

The new boss is Enrique Lores. He put Venmo in its own group. This helps the company see if Venmo makes money. He also put customers and shops into one group. The last group handles Braintree and digital money. Other companies are now very strong. This makes it hard for PayPal to make a lot of money. Some people think a company called Stripe wants to buy parts of PayPal. People who buy PayPal stocks are happy. The stock price went up a little bit on Wednesday. But the price is lower than it was at the start of the year.

Conclusion

PayPal will give more information in a meeting soon.
