Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Growth PotentialFOUR's backlog of new wins and cross-sell efforts should support double-digit growth even if consumer spending proves to be a large headwind.
Revenue VisibilityNet-new sales are supported by the $33bn+ payment volume backlog, providing a high degree of visibility into FY25 guidance.
ValuationShift4 Payments represents a compelling investment given its low valuation relative to expected future growth, trading at just ~9x the pro-forma EBITDA.
Bears Say
CEO TransitionThe timing isn’t ideal for a CEO change.
Consumer Spending ConcernsFOUR's stock has re-rated lower in two waves during the last two months due to a light FY25 outlook and consumer spending concerns.
M&A Strategy ConcernsFOUR doesn’t provide sufficient data to evaluate the efficacy of that strategy which is a large driver of the bear case.
