Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN) saw its stock surge by 7.28% on November 6, 2024, outperforming the broader market and its peers in the financial technology sector. The company's shares closed at $115.04, rallying for the sixth consecutive day.
Analysts attribute the stock's remarkable performance to Global Payments' positive dividend outlook and investor confidence in the company's ability to sustain and potentially increase its dividend payouts in the future. According to a recent analysis, Global Payments' earnings are expected to grow by 58.5% over the next year, which could lower its payout ratio to a sustainable 15% by the end of 2025.
The company's dividend yield currently stands at 0.9%, which is considered typical for the industry. While Global Payments' dividend history has been marked by some instability, including at least one cut in the past decade, its impressive earnings growth rate of 17% per year over the past five years bodes well for the company's dividend prospects.
