What this transaction means for investors
As with other names in fintech and software, WEX shares have struggled as investors scrutinized growth more heavily. But underneath the stock performance, WEX’s business is still producing healthy numbers. First-quarter revenue climbed nearly 6% to $673.8 million, while adjusted earnings per share rose 18% to $4.15. The company also raised its full-year guidance, now expecting up to $2.88 billion in revenue and as much as $19.55 in adjusted earnings per share.
Its benefits segment was especially strong, with revenue jumping 8.5% and HSA custodial assets climbing nearly 12% to $5.2 billion. Meanwhile, corporate payments revenue rose 9.3% as total company payment volume increased 7.5% to $58.1 billion. Nevertheless, the market’s reaction to the report, with shares falling some 16% afterward, signals how delicate sentiment is right now. That said, if management keeps translating growth into stronger margins and cash flow, the stock’s recent stagnation may not last forever.
