Stripe与Advent联合出价530亿美元收购PayPal,溢价28%引发股价飙升
支付巨头Stripe与私募股权公司Advent International提出每股60.50美元的收购要约,若成功将缔造年处理3.7万亿美元交易的全球最大数字支付平台。
7月15日,爱尔兰支付处理商Stripe与私募股权公司Advent International联合向PayPal Holdings发出约530亿美元的收购要约,每股报价60.50美元,较前一日收盘价溢价约28%。消息传出后,PayPal股价在盘前交易中一度上涨逾16%。据多位知情人士透露,该要约于7月初提交,并已获得银行约500亿美元的融资承诺,Stripe与Advent计划在交易完成后平分股权,且不拆分公司业务。PayPal方面尚未作出回应,双方最早于4月已有初步接触。
PayPal曾是数字支付领域的先驱,2021年市值一度触及3600亿美元,但近年来在Apple Pay、Google Pay等对手的挤压下增长放缓,市值在今年一度跌至360亿美元的低点,过去12个月股价蒸发逾40%。今年3月上任的首席执行官恩里克·洛雷斯启动了大规模重组,将公司拆分为结账、消费者金融服务(含Venmo)以及支付与加密三个部门,并引入人工智能以压缩成本,目标是在两到三年内节省约15亿美元。此次收购要约恰逢其转型关键期,为股东提供了一个高溢价退出的潜在选项。
北美市场投资者将此举视为支付行业整合的又一信号。Stripe主要面向企业提供支付基础设施,PayPal则深耕消费者端,两者业务高度互补。欧洲财经媒体估算,合并后平台年支付处理量将达约3.7万亿美元,相当于全球GDP的3%左右,可能重塑全球支付格局。俄罗斯商业界则关注到,在监管趋严和本土银行快速支付应用崛起的背景下,全球数字支付领域正出现新一轮 consolidation,此前“先买后付”市场在俄一度增长三倍以上,但增速预计将放缓。亚洲市场虽未直接发声,但若交易达成,一个横跨商户端与消费者端的超级支付平台将对支付宝、微信支付等区域巨头构成更直接的全球竞争。
目前谈判仍处于早期阶段,PayPal董事会是否会接受要约并展开正式磋商尚不明朗。公司也可能选择继续执行独立的转型计划。未来数周,PayPal的回应将成为决定这笔潜在交易走向的关键节点,而反垄断监管机构的态度亦将是后续观察重点。
