The latest update is out from CAB Payments Holdings Limited ( (GB:CABP) ).

CAB Payments reported its strongest two-quarter income performance since listing, as Q1 2026 total income rose about 35% year on year to roughly £34 million and income excluding net interest income jumped about 60% to £26 million. The improvement was driven by a deliberate shift in business mix, widening take-rates, resilient net interest income despite lower rates and rising FX activity, notably a 15% increase in emerging-market volumes to £3.6 billion.

Operationally, the group deepened its global reach with new partnerships and clients, including Deutsche Bank for USD and euro clearing, Emirates Airlines, a major China-based payments firm and TotalEnergies, while expanding its partner network to 447 and adding 13 active clients. Alongside work on stablecoin capabilities and an Abu Dhabi office now fully active, the company reaffirmed its medium-term growth and profitability targets, underscoring confidence in its strategy and signalling potential for future shareholder returns backed by expected surplus capital generation.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:CABP) stock is a Hold with a £0.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CAB Payments Holdings Limited stock, see the GB:CABP Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CABP Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CABP is a Neutral.

The score is mainly driven by mixed financial performance: a strong, conservatively levered balance sheet is offset by highly volatile cash flows and uneven revenue/margin trends. Technicals are moderately supportive with the stock above key moving averages, while valuation looks reasonable on P/E but lacks dividend yield data.
