On Tuesday, PayPal opened lower and fluctuated underwater. As of the time of writing, it fell more than 6%, trading at $78.17. On the news front, the third-quarter performance showed that PayPal's Total Payment Volume (TPV) increased by about 9% year-on-year, reaching $422.6 billion, exceeding analysts' general forecast of $421.6 billion. The overall revenue for the third quarter was approximately $7.85 billion, a 6% year-on-year increase, but slightly below analysts' expectations. The company's fourth-quarter revenue outlook is slightly below Wall Street analysts' general expectations.

PayPal CEO Alex Krieger had previously stated that a proposed plan would no longer allow customers to use PayPal's various technologies for free, but this will take time and may mean a slowdown in revenue growth
