Analysis · EEFT · Finance
The quarter fell short of management's own expectations, and the full-year targets set at May's Investor Day were pulled down. Revenue rose just 1% to $1,161.1M while operating income fell 12% to $171.6M. In Cross-Border Payments — the money-transfer business — operating income dropped 37% to $37.3M as U.S. immigration policy and a new remittance tax squeezed transaction volumes. Guidance now calls for roughly $4.375B of revenue, $725M of Adjusted EBITDA and about 10% adjusted EPS growth for 2026, a reset from the May targets. The offset is a still-solid balance sheet: debt was cut by $476.7M in the quarter to $2,177.3M and $50M of stock was repurchased. The guidance cut, however, is the number that resets the earnings base investors will value the stock against.
