Forward guidance

Management said full-year guidance is unchanged and expects operating leverage to improve in the second half of 2026 as elevated OPEX from late-2025 investments moderates.

Tailwinds

  • Secular tailwinds as merchants convert to local processing across emerging markets
  • Product roadmap gaining traction alongside strong base-business TPV momentum

Headwinds

  • Near-term margin pressure from payment-method mix and narrower FX spreads
  • Temporary working-capital headwinds weighing on adjusted free cash flow
