Euronet Worldwide's stock experienced a significant pre-market plunge, dropping 7.39% in early trading on Thursday. The sharp decline followed the release of the company's fourth quarter 2025 financial results.
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.39 for the quarter, missing the IBES estimate of $2.48 by approximately 3.5%. While revenue of $1.1087 billion essentially met expectations, operating income declined 18% year-over-year to $101 million, and adjusted operating income decreased 1% to $121.6 million.
Chairman and CEO Michael J. Brown noted that financial performance was impacted by economic stress among lower-income consumers and continued immigration policy uncertainty, particularly affecting the Money Transfer and epay segments. He stated that results were below historical growth trends and future expectations, despite the company's strategic focus and diversified business model.
