Global Payments Inc. (GPN) has been quite active in their strategic moves for value creation and expansion. Recently, the company completed the
sale of its Payroll business to Acrisure for $1.1 billion. This came amid the
UK Competition and Markets Authority launching an investigation into GPN's proposed acquisition of Worldpay. The board of GPN made significant additions including tech-savvy directors and activist oversight and also appointed veteran Nathan Rozof as the Head of Investor Relations. GPN introduced its Genius Solution for enterprise customers in the United States and UK while also making substantial strides in technology-driven growth strategy.
Elliott, an activist investor, has also built a stake in the company, potentially helping to lift its share price. The company's stock valuation appeal was slightly overshadowed by slower growth predictions. However, strong performance, solid earnings growth potential, massive buybacks, and strategic moves are some of the factors attracting investors to GPN. Despite some concerns about the stock underperforming the S&P 500, GPN remains a top value stock for long-term benefits. The company is also awaiting its Q2 Earnings report and engaged in the progress of the transformative Worldpay deal.
