• Latin America is the main growth engine — Latin America Payments & Solutions grew ~22% YoY, with Brazil re-accelerating and a strong pipeline highlighted by wins like Banco de Chile and Grupo Aval.
• Management is executing on M&A and shareholder returns — closed the Tecnobank deal, expects to close Dimensa in Q2, repurchased ~$66 million in Q4 and refreshed the buyback authorization to $150 million.
• Business Solutions showed weakness (Q4 revenue down ~7%) and margins were pressured by the 10% discount to Banco Popular plus higher operating costs (cloud and POS repairs), weighing on segment and Puerto Rico profitability.
• 2026 guidance targets $1.024–$1.036 billion revenue (≈9.9–11.2% growth) and adjusted EPS growth of 6.1–9.4%, but assumes a ~120 bp FX tailwind from the Brazilian real and higher Latin America tax rates (11–12%), introducing FX and execution risk.
