PayPal (ticker: PYPL) reported better-than-expected earnings per share of $1.38 on a non-GAAP basis, surpassing estimates by $0.10. The company also exceeded revenue expectations with $8.7 billion in the second quarter, beating forecasts by $230 million. Total payment volume (TPV) for Q2 rose 10% year-over-year to $486 billion, driven largely by strong performance across its digital wallet and Venmo platforms.
