Paysafe Ltd (NYSE: PSFE) saw its shares soar 5.69% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, following the release of its second-quarter 2025 financial results. The payment platform company reported earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, despite showing a year-over-year decline.
For the second quarter, Paysafe posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.46, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $0.45 by 1.32%. This figure, however, represents a 22.03% decrease from the $0.59 per share reported in the same period last year. The company's quarterly sales came in at $428.218 million, also surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $424.749 million by 0.82%. Despite the beat, this marks a 2.66% decrease compared to sales of $439.924 million in the same quarter of the previous year.
Investors appeared to react positively to Paysafe's ability to exceed expectations in a challenging environment. Furthermore, the company's decision to reaffirm its full-year outlook likely contributed to the stock's pre-market rally, suggesting confidence in its ability to navigate current market conditions. The combination of better-than-expected results and maintained guidance seems to have outweighed concerns about the year-over-year declines, driving the significant pre-market stock movement.
