PayPal shares drop as takeover talks reportedly collapse over price gap. PayPal declined sharply after reports that discussions about a possible acquisition broke down because of disagreement on price. The move unwound much of the earlier takeover premium that had lifted the stock. The company trades at a low trailing P/E of 10.4 and well below the average analyst price target of $59.68, though it also sits in the lower half of its 52-week range. Background coverage this week also noted pressure on margins and broader rate-related uncertainty affecting the market.
