Euronet Worldwide, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Euronet reported 6.6% year-over-year growth in total revenues in the first nine months of 2025, driven by solid performances across its EFT Processing, epay and Money Transfer segments. Its expanding global payments network fuels transaction volume. Total transactions processed in the EFT Processing, epay and Money Transfer segments rose 37%, 6% and 5% year over year, respectively, in the first nine months of 2025.
The company is actively expanding its global reach by strengthening its presence in fast-growing and underserved markets, especially in developing areas where ATM and EFT deployments generate higher returns.
