Adyen

Adyen’s stock plummeted by up to 20% after the payments giant issued a 2026 net revenue growth forecast of 20-22%, falling short of analyst expectations. The company cited a robust pipeline and customer cohort maturation for its outlook, while acknowledging macroeconomic uncertainties influencing market volume growth. Second-half payment volumes also missed some estimates. Despite current results being “largely okay,” the guidance may not overcome negative sentiment in the payments sector. This sharp decline underscores investor sensitivity to growth forecasts in the tech and payments industry.
