Nov 5▼ DownEarningsContract7 articles
Global Payments reported Q3 2026 adjusted EPS of $3.58 and sales of $3.182 billion, both in line with analyst expectations, but the company cut its FY2026 GAAP EPS guidance to a loss of $3.90 to $3.81 per share and trimmed its sales forecast to $12.946 billion to $13.023 billion. The stock fell 2.02% to close at $94.98, trading between a low of $94.97 and a high of $99.73 on volume of 3,480,329 shares. While the company announced a new partnership to become NASCAR's official merchant services provider, the reduced guidance appears to have weighed on sentiment. The direction signal is down given the bearish earnings guidance revision.
Oct 30▲ UpMerger3 articles
Global Payments shares surged 12.60% to close at $96.84 after reports that private equity firm CD&R is preparing a $40 billion buyout of the payments company. The stock traded as high as $101.32 on volume of over 16.5 million shares, reflecting strong investor reaction to the potential take-private transaction. The broader market was weak, with the Nasdaq falling more than 3% as chip stocks dropped, but GPN's merger-driven rally far outpaced that macro headwind. The buyout news is the dominant catalyst and signals a bullish direction for the stock.
Oct 15▲ UpUpgrade2 articles
Global Payments shares rose 3.00% today, closing at $84.17 after opening at $81.72 and trading between $81.66 and $84.39 on volume of 1,804,551. The move followed B of A Securities reinstating coverage on the stock with a Buy rating and a $114 price target. The bullish analyst action served as the primary catalyst, signaling confidence in the company's outlook and helping lift the shares toward the upper end of their daily range. Based on this news, the direction signal is positive.
