A broad-based Q2 beat — revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and payment volume all exceeded expectations — underscores Flywire's momentum. The company raised its full-year guidance for both revenue growth and margin expansion, signaling confidence in sustained strength across education, travel, and B2B. With the stock trading near its 52-week high, this report reinforces the growth narrative. The $49 million in buybacks during the quarter also demonstrates management's commitment to returning capital, while the remaining $123 million authorization provides ongoing support. The key risk remains the visa policy environment, but diversification and execution are offsetting those headwinds.
