ACI Worldwide shares rallied 5.6% in the last trading session to close at $49.26, driven by strong demand across its payments portfolio and continued execution of its long-term growth strategy. Management attributed the momentum to expanding customer relationships, winning new clients, and improving operational efficiency, while also emphasizing disciplined capital allocation and shareholder returns through share repurchases. The Payment Software business benefited from robust demand for issuing, acquiring, and real-time payment solutions, with real-time payments seeing strong growth as rising transaction volumes increased contract values during customer renewals. The Biller segment remained a key growth driver, supported by adoption of the Speedpay One platform and new customer wins, with annual recurring revenue bookings increasing significantly in the first quarter of 2026. The company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.49 per share, a year-over-year increase of 40%, on revenues of $429.7 million, up 7.1% from the prior-year quarter.
