On this page of Benford's Law Stocks.com we present our study of PayPal Holdings, Inc. — ticker symbol PYPL. SEC filings have been screened by our Benford's Law software, for quarterly 10Q and annual 10K filings from 5/5/2021 to 2/3/2026
for PayPal Holdings, Inc. under CIK number 0001633917.
For filings made in XBRL (eXtensible
Business Reporting Language) format, our algorithm extracts all "tagged" numbers presented by the company; for any non-XBRL
filings our algorithm uses its own interal set of rules to extract what it believes to be numbers as found throughout the filings. The format
found for each filing is presented below together with the results for PYPL, with the percentage of found numbers beginning with each digit
(1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's) charted against the "normal" range observed throughout our coverage universe, as
well as the "normal" range for PayPal Holdings, Inc. based on the past PYPL filings our system processed in the past.
| Benford's Law Stocks Score for PYPL = 98 | ||
Starting from a possible score of 100, we made the following score deductions: • We deducted point upon observing the 7's percentage was below the typical coverage universe range. • We deducted point upon observing the 7's percentage was below the company's typical historical range. • The 8's percentage was higher than the 7's percentage, increasing the penalty multiplier. |

Check our work! We provide our PayPal Holdings, Inc. Benford's Law analysis for informational purposes only, and our software should be expected to
make mistakes and contain errors (nothing you see on this website should be relied upon for any decision-making without first repeating
the analysis yourself independently), and so below we present to you all of the numbers our system detected, for the PYPL filing
above. This way, you can open the filing on your own and compare what you see below against what you yourself find. This can also
be helpful for exploring any columns in particular that caught your eye.

While the above PYPL 10K Filed 2/3/2026 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older
PayPal Holdings, Inc. filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a
Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10K Filed 2/3/2026 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across
our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical PYPL 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed
historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
