Company Report

Global Payments' Moat Was Strengthened Through the Combination With WorldPay

We believe the market is overly concerned about disruption to incumbent payment players like Global Payments. In our view, Global Payments continues to benefit from a strong competitive position, is adapting to a changing industry, and can maintain reasonable growth over time. While Worldpay struggled under FIS' roof, we think that was largely due to underinvestment and a poor strategy, which shouldn't be an issue under Global Payments.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The merger with Total System Services bulked up Global Payments' acquiring business and strengthened its moat, given the importance of scale in the business. The Worldpay merger dramatically improves scale.

Bears

The focus on small merchants increases Global Payments' macro sensitivity.
