PayPal stock rose on Friday after a report said that the payments company is in negotiations to sell itself to Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International, with the potential buyers discussing a higher price than their previous offer. Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 a share for PayPal in a July deal that would value the fintech company at around $53 billion, but PayPal considered the bid too low, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. PayPal declined to comment.
