PayPal's total payment volume grew 10% year-over-year to $486 billion in Q2, but the stock remains down 81% from its 2021 peak. The company's most profitable segment, online branded checkout, has significantly underperformed with only 2% TPV growth in Q2, compared to 26% annualized growth during 2018-2021. Intense competition from Apple Pay and weak branded checkout performance are pressuring the stock despite overall business growth.
