RELY’s Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is $437.3 million, implying 20.9% growth over the year-ago quarter’s actual.

Multiple factors are likely to have boosted the top line. Higher send volumes, coupled with strong demand for the Send Now, Pay Later product, Flex, which increases transaction fees, customer reach and foreign exchange spreads, are likely to have led to improved revenues. Robust growth in active customers and a major shift toward digital platforms for money transfer services from the traditional service providers, such as banks, are also likely to have supported revenue growth.

The international business payments solution, launched in the United States in the second quarter of 2025, is anticipated to have been a growth engine for the company, driving average transaction sizes and elevating customer value.

The consensus estimate for earnings per share is 12 cents, indicating year-over-year growth of 140% from the year-ago quarter. We expect expanded margins to have improved the bottom line.
