PayPal reported Q2 2026 results on July 28, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $1.38, ahead of the $1.28 estimate by 7.98%. Revenue was $8.7 billion, 2.46% above the $8.5 billion consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS slipped about 1.4% from $1.40, while revenue rose about 4.8% from $8.3 billion.

The longer record shows revenue growing faster than earnings. Annual EPS rose from $4.13 in 2022 to $5.11 in 2023, dipped to $4.66 in 2024 and reached $5.30 in 2025. Annual revenue grew each year, from $27.5 billion in 2022 to $33.2 billion in 2025. The first half of 2026 adds up to $2.72 per share, nearly the same as the $2.73 a year earlier, on revenue up about 6.2%. The quarterly EPS high in the table is $1.48 from Q4 2023. Over the last 20 quarters, PayPal topped the EPS estimate 16 times. Its largest miss was Q1 2024, at 11.4% below.

PayPal reported Q3 results between October 28 and November 8 in each of the past five years. That points to late October or early November 2026 for the next report. It will show whether revenue growth starts to carry through to earnings per share.
