PayPal Dropped From S&P 100, Signaling Shift in Blue-Chip Standing

PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) exited the S&P 100 index on March 23, 2026.

The S&P 100 tracks the largest and most established blue-chip companies in the United States. These companies also comprise a subset of the broader S&P 500.

This removal signals a shift in PayPal’s market standing relative to other large-cap companies. The change may reduce the stock's appeal to institutional investors and benchmarked funds. Portfolio managers tracking the index may adjust their holdings in response.
