Posted by Stanley Muller on Jul 30th, 2026

Euronet Worldwide (NASDAQ:EEFT – Get Free Report) released its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The business services provider reported $2.82 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $2.97 by ($0.15), FiscalAI reports. The firm had revenue of $1.11 billion during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $1.14 billion. Euronet Worldwide had a net margin of 7.15% and a return on equity of 28.37%. Euronet Worldwide’s revenue was up 3.2% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter in the previous year, the firm posted $2.56 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Euronet Worldwide’s conference call:

Adjusted EPS rose 10% year over year to $2.82, supported by solid performance in payments infrastructure and epay despite cross-border payments weakness. Management reiterated its full-year adjusted EPS growth outlook of 10%–15%.
Digital accelerators remained the key growth engine, with revenue up 31% in the quarter and 35% year to date—well above the company’s 23% long-term framework. Ria Digital, issuing, merchant services, gaming, and CoreCard were highlighted as major contributors.
Cross-border payments revenue declined 5%, while operating income and adjusted EBITDA fell 35% and 32%, respectively. U.S. immigration enforcement reduced remittance volumes, particularly from the U.S. to Mexico, while last year’s results benefited from nonrecurring Pakistan fee rebates and foreign-exchange opportunities.
CoreCard gained additional traction through agreements with Upgrade and Peru’s Unibanca, which processes payments for nine banks and will replace its incumbent processor. Management said CoreCard has helped generate five or six deals and expects momentum to build as reference customers increase.
Euronet generated approximately $80 million of free cash flow and repurchased about $50 million of stock, with management indicating that further buybacks remain likely. However, the company expects approximately $6 million of additional interest expense in the second half from its euro-denominated bonds.
