02:20 PM EDT, 08/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target price by $17 to $92, 6.7x our 2026 EPS view, vs. GPN's three-year historical forward P/E average of 10.0x. We keep our 2025 EPS estimate at $12.22 and increase 2026's to $13.68 from $13.46. GPN now expects full-year 2025 adjusted EPS growth at the high end of the 10%-11% range. Our measured approach reflects long-standing concerns about the execution challenges and operational complexity embedded in GPN's transformation strategy. The Q2 2025 results validate management's execution capability with the successful Genius platform launch showing early momentum, while the Worldpay acquisition helps provides strategic clarity. However, the modest 1% reported growth (6% constant currency) in the core Merchant Solutions segment highlights the need for these initiatives to drive more substantial top-line acceleration. Execution risks remain around integrating two large organizations, managing the scale of ongoing transformation, and delivering on ambitious Worldpay synergy expectations.
