Average Price Target
$91.15
▲(18.58%Upside)
Based on 24 Wall Street analysts offering 12 month price targets for Global Payments in the last 3 months. The average price target is $91.15 with a high forecast of $130.00 and a low forecast of $65.00. The average price target represents a 18.58% change from the last price of $76.87.
Global Payments' stock is rated 72, reflecting strong financial performance and positive strategic initiatives. The company's robust cash flow management and profitability are major strengths. However, technical indicators show bearish momentum, and macroeconomic challenges pose risks. Valuation metrics suggest the stock is moderately priced, with strategic acquisitions bolstering its potential for future growth.
We like the stock at 3-4X 2028E FCF (using their guided FCF and buyback assumptions), as we expect low/mid-teens EPS growth in the coming years, share maintenance (growing ~5-7%), and improving leverage following Worldpay deal (closes H1-26). Q1 results were quite good, with EPS and revenue slightly beating, and SMB volumes growing +6% (+6% in Q4), which is encouraging given the market decelerated. 2025 guidance reiterated on a const-fx basis, but raised on a reported basis, and we are raising estimates.
