PayPal Holdings Inc. revealed on Thursday that its revenue in the third quarter of the fiscal year rose by 11% on an annual level to hit $6.85 billion, somewhat in line with expectations. The company's operating income advanced by 7% year-on-year to come in at $1.1 billion. Meanwhile, its diluted earnings per share (EPS) went up by 26% compared to the same period in 2021 to reach $1.15 per share. Its total trade volume grew by 9% on an annual basis to $309.9 billion, which missed analysts' predictions.

Following the release of the report, PayPal's shares sank by 12.86% in after-hours trading.
