Several significant events have transformed the landscape for Global Payments (GPN) in recent times. First, the company raised its position within Cardinal Capital Management Inc. and then launched a new retail solution, Genius™, which is set to revolutionize retail operations. Additionally, Global Payments made a significant move by divesting its payroll unit to fintech Acrisure for $1.1 billion, fuelling speculations about the possible sale of its issuer business. This was followed by the announcement of a dividend of $0.25.
Interestingly, SG Americas Securities LLC has grown its stake in Global Payments, while the latter also reported strong growth and strategic moves in its 2025 Q1 earnings call. However, a large volume of put options have been bought against it.
A significant development was the announcement of agreements to acquire Worldpay and to divest Issuer Solutions. But the company’s stock has seen a slight drop since its last earnings report. On a similar note, the company’s Q4 2024 earnings call highlighted record revenue growth.
Global Payments is paving the way for global expansion as they unveil Genius: a Unified POS platform. While the 2025 Q1 earnings report delivered promising results, the Worldpay Acquisition for $24B caused a temporary dip in share prices. This complex megadeal with FIS has left everyone speculating who the big winner is.
