The company aims to change financial disclosures to give investors a clearer view of growth prospects as PayPal faces slower growth, heavier competition and questions over strategy.
PayPal plans to set revenue targets for each of its three core businesses for the first time and revamp the way it presents financial results, a move new Chief Executive Officer Enrique Lores said is intended to help investors better judge the growth potential of each unit. The disclosure overhaul comes as PayPal contends with slower growth, intensifying competition and investor concerns about its strategic direction. Lores said the company will introduce clearer financial goals for different business lines and increase transparency. The latest report also said potential acquirers have shown interest in PayPal, adding to scrutiny over the company’s future direction.
