Global Payments (GPN) shares soared nearly 17% Wednesday after the fintech firm reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and announced a $2.5 billion share repurchase program. Adjusted earnings per share reached $3.18, slightly surpassing the $3.16 consensus estimate.

The company's bullish 2026 guidance of $13.80–$14.00 in adjusted EPS exceeded analyst projections of $13.78. Global Payments completed its transformation into a pure-play merchant solutions provider after finalizing the Worldpay acquisition and Issuer Solutions divestiture during the quarter.

CEO Cameron Bready emphasized the company's commitment to returning $7.5 billion in capital to shareholders. The stock's dramatic climb from $69 to $81.27 marked one of its most significant single-day gains in recent history.
