Global Payments is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on August 5, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate pegging earnings at $3.46 per share on revenues of $3.17 billion. The revenue estimate implies year-over-year growth of 34.4%, driven largely by the acquisition of Worldpay and the sale of its Issuer Solutions Business, which closed on January 12, 2026. However, rising costs are expected to weigh on profitability, with total operating costs projected to increase 57% to around $2.4 billion and the adjusted EBITDA margin forecast to decline to 44.4% from 48.9% a year ago. The company has an Earnings ESP of negative 0.63% and a Zacks Rank of 4, indicating a potential earnings miss. For the full year, the consensus revenue estimate stands at $12.43 billion, up 33.4%, with earnings per share seen at $13.82, a 13.1% increase.
