- Adyen's first-half processing volume reached EUR 803.8 billion on August 13, 2026.
- The October 14, 2026 analysis says Talon.One and Orb make organic growth the key Q3 comparison.
- Adyen stock traded at EUR 932.25 at 9:50 a.m. Berlin time at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026.
- The Q3 business update is scheduled for October 28, 2026.
Adyen (ISIN NL0012969182) processed EUR 803.8 billion in payment volume in the first half of 2026, up 24.00 percent year over year. An analysis by De Belegger, published October 14, 2026 and updated October 27, argues that the next update must distinguish organic expansion from acquisition-driven growth. For investors, that split is more informative than headline volume alone.
Acquisitions change the comparison
Talon.One and Orb have counted toward Adyen's results since July 2026, according to the analysis. That means the third-quarter comparison combines growth from the existing payments platform, acquired operations and currency effects. A higher group figure therefore needs a clearer bridge before it can show how much momentum came from the core business.
Adyen reported first-half net revenue of EUR 1.303 billion, up 19.00 percent year over year, while constant-currency growth reached 21.00 percent. EBITDA was EUR 641.5 million, producing a 49.00 percent margin, or 50.00 percent excluding one-time transaction costs, as detailed in the analysis by De Belegger.
What does the growth test mean?
The central test is whether additional volume also supports revenue quality and profitability. The analysis calculates that a 22.00 percent reported growth rate with a 4.00 percent acquisition contribution would imply about 17.30 percent organic growth after compounding, rather than a simple subtraction. The calculation is an analytical illustration, not Adyen guidance.
Next company date
Adyen's official investor event page schedules the third-quarter 2026 business update for October 28, 2026, with a conference call at 3:00 p.m. CET. The event is expected to provide the next reported checkpoint for payment volume and net revenue growth.
