PayPal outperformed expectations for the second quarter, with an adjusted EPS amounting to $1.40, above the forecasts of $1.30.  Transaction margin dollars were up 7%, generating $3.8 billion, fractional accounts increased by 2% and the transactions per account increased by 4%. Branded experiences total payment volume which includes PayPal and Venmo increased 8%, demonstrating engaged users. Total payment volume was $443.5 billion, and the company increased total active accounts to 438 million.

In highlighting innovation as the theme of PayPal's performance, CEO Alex Chriss referenced innovation in its merchant services and the company's involvement in the dollar-pegged stablecoin initiative.

The company said U.S. small and medium enterprises would benefit from lower costs with the offerings versus traditional credit cards.
