GPN
Global Payments, Inc.
stock NYSE

So does the market just stick to the name and not consider business has changed? there was good reason to short the previous company: business model of M&A was making the company fail.
On price movements I really think it's mostly algos trading and MM making up the volume (but just my impression) - and these only look at market data, no fundamentals. Predictable volatility is just big money for trading. The stock price has been very volatile while moving in predictable ranges. I have been swing trading on the side of my long term position and it was quite easy money, market is so inefficient, almost never gapping, always revisiting low volume nodes and range has been quite defined for months. Essentially I like to look at the price as a range rather than a number for WLN, since noise and technicals (traders and algos act uponthem, hence reflexivity and factualization) just make it migrate from highs to lows quite fast.
For long term however I am also holding until they can reap rewards of new platforms, increased margins, concentration of working teams, tailwinds from EU getting eurostablecoin and favouring local payment systems, etc.. Unless the CEO were to change or some weird stuff to happen I am very happy of this opportunity market gave. But I like to stay open and question what I could be missing. Still don't understand. I like to find companies like this, and usually I feel there is a much bigger risk (like in past months I opened positions in Weight Watchers or GXI or GPN and other stuff like that, but none of these have backing of big banks, low debt and a quite predictable/stable business and income; also I have no feel about their management).
Yes, I guess time will tell. I have added and probably will continue adding if it offers prices below 10e. Investor base might be traumatized and maybe many have closed their engagement w the stock, I was lucky to have found it late. Think for sentiment and thus price changing big milestones are positive FCF as per accounting rules, debt rerating, printed numbers on revenue growths inverting negative trend, etc.. Which will not be before 2027.
