A year of buying PAYP
Over the last 202 days PAYP closed between $12.52 (June 18, 2026) and $24.39 (March 23, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $126 today; at the high, $64. The current price $15.72 is above 88 of those 202 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 44% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves PAYP by 2.9%: a $1,000 position swings about $29 a day.
