1220 ET - Stripe's offer to buy PayPal still leaves questions about whether the payments company will sell itself in whole or try to sell off parts of itself individually, Deutsche Bank analysts say. The analysts previously said they thought a sale of only some of PayPal's assets would be more likely than a sale of the whole company. They say they are somewhat surprised that Stripe is involved in an offer for all of PayPal. However, they note that PayPal hasn't yet responded to Stripe and its partner Advent, suggesting it could see greater values creation in other opportunities, such as selling assets piecemeal.
