Second-quarter revenue mix

The operating picture is more useful than the headline GAAP revenue increase. In the second quarter of 2026, adjusted net revenue reached USD 3.16 billion and grew 4 percent on a normalized basis, excluding dispositions, according to Fortune. Adjusted earnings per share rose 12 percent to USD 3.46, while adjusted operating margin expanded 70 basis points to 42 percent.

The comparison matters because GAAP revenue was USD 3.32 billion in the same quarter, up from USD 1.96 billion a year earlier, while the normalized measure isolates the continuing operating trend after the Worldpay transaction. Global Payments also guided to 4 percent to 5 percent normalized constant-currency adjusted net revenue growth for 2026 and adjusted earnings per share of USD 13.60 to USD 13.80.

What is next for the stock?

The next scheduled catalyst is the third-quarter report, which MarketBeat lists for November 3, 2026 before the market opens. Its estimate calls for USD 3.58 earnings per share and USD 3.18 billion in revenue, compared with USD 3.26 and USD 2.43 billion in the year-earlier quarter.

Price position and valuation

Global Payments was last at USD 83.67 on the Nasdaq on October 16, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.59 percent from USD 84.17. The quote sits within a 52-week range of USD 61.16 to USD 95.88, leaving it 12.74 percent below the high and 36.81 percent above the low. Market capitalization was USD 22.1 billion as of October 16, 2026.

For investors, the central tension is clear: normalized growth was 4 percent in the second quarter, while the upcoming report carries an estimated USD 3.18 billion revenue benchmark. The USD 114.00 BofA target and the November 3 reporting date provide two separate markers for judging execution.
