A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). The phase helps read everything below.

Over the last 7 months the share price moved −27% while the S&P 500 moved +16%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 25 September 2026. The chart below shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row.

PayPay Corporation pays no dividend. In the last 8 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes.

PayPay is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks.

PayPay Corporation earned $14.5 B of net profit in the Mar 26 quarter, +41.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $118 B. That is 14.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $10.2 B.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $118 B (+200.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +30.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +9.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +204.2% and revenue +27.3%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

PayPay Corporation reported $102 B of revenue in the Mar 26 quarter, +30.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 3 years it has grown 23.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $381 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $381 B.

FY26 revenue was $381 B, +27.3% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +27.3% on average, against 23.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

PayPay Corporation's operating margin was 18.7% in the Mar 26 quarter, 9.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 4 years it has been between −10.2% and 21.0%. The latest quarter is within that range.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +9.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +3.3 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 2 years, 338% of PayPay Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $375 B of operating cash against $118 B of profit. After $6.4 B of spending on assets, $369 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

PayPay Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $16.0 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.4% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $16.0 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

PayPay Corporation's P/E is 13.5×, with too little history to compare. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 0.1×, over 0.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple.

PayPay Corporation's business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 4 quarters of 1 measure, with some gaps.

Every business is somewhere on a path of getting better or worse, and this section names where. The last 12 quarters of growth in revenue, profit and earnings per share, plus the return the business earns on its capital, are read as lines. Getting worse: the lines are falling. Turning around: a low point has just formed and the last few quarters are rising from it. Getting better: the rise from the low has lasted. Growing steadily: steady growth with healthy returns. Slowing from a peak: still high, but slowing. When the lines disagree the result is mixed; too little history means no reading. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the steady yearly rate that would turn the starting value into the latest one. It is the fairest way to compare growth over different periods. If the 1-year figure is much bigger than the 10-year one, recent growth is running faster than the long-run trend. A dash means there is no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss, where a growth rate means nothing.

Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction.

One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result.

The return figures here are yearly, not quarterly. They show level and direction only; they can support the growth lines but never decide the reading alone.

There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history.

Compound annual growth rate (%)

Compound annual growth rate over each period, %. Revenue, profit and EPS come from yearly figures; the stock price row is price growth over the same periods. A dash means no figure for that period, or the starting year was a loss.

PayPay Corporation earned a ROE of 27% in FY26. That is up from a low of −0% in FY24. We cannot compare its return on capital used with its cost of capital from the data we have. It comes from a 30.9% net margin and 0.07× asset turnover (sales divided by assets).

Return on equity (ROE) is the profit the business earns on its shareholders’ money. We do not have the full capital split, so ROE is the longest history we can draw here.

Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 30.9% net margin × 0.07× asset turnover × 12.02× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 26.0% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing is a big part of it.

PayPay Corporation has total debt of $766 B against shareholder equity of $450 B as of Jun 26, so its debt is 1.70× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 3.19 in FY24 to 1.33 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page.

Debt-to-equity shows how much of the business is paid for with borrowed money. Lower is safer, and the direction matters as much as the level.

We have no ownership or short-position figures for PayPay Corporation, so this section says so rather than fill the gap. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 4.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead.

There is no quarter-by-quarter list of owners here, so we look at short interest: the share of tradable shares held in short positions, which gain if the price falls.

For PayPay Corporation, the Z-score is 0.40. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure.
