Global Payments Inc. (NYSE:GPN) sees mixed market activity between shareholder legal notices due to losses and substantial stock purchases by entities such as RFP Financial Group LLC and North Growth Management Ltd. Initiating a strategic shift, Global Payments agreed to sell its payroll business to fintech Acrisure for $1.1 billion and launched a new POS platform, Genius™. In addition to the divestments, the company entered into an agreement to acquire Worldpay and divest its Issuer Solutions. Following these announcements, the company's short interest spiked by 62.6% in May. Despite these strategic moves, the company saw a slight dip in the stock market performance, with a 2.8% decline post their last earnings report.
Analysts seem to be bullish about the company's stock performance vis-a-vis other fintech companies, with a focus on its digital payment solutions. Several advisories and investor groups increased their holdings in GPN. However, the investment was not without controversies. The company had to pay $3.6 million as a settlement to investors, leading to many questions about its performance and dealings. Some analysts advise investors to hold onto their stocks, predicting future growth following the strategic shifts and deals with companies such as Worldpay and FIS.
