Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Revenue GrowthThe Digital business accelerated revenue growth and closed the gap to transaction growth to a 4 point spread.
Share RepurchaseThe company continues to aggressively return capital to investors, including repurchasing 12 million shares during the quarter.
Transaction GrowthWestern Union has delivered 5% total transaction growth for three consecutive quarters, a first in ten years.
Bears Say
Profitability PressureSofter remittance growth in low and middle-income countries may pressure profitability.
Revenue DeclineGiven the continued uncertainty and the continued trend of revenue ex-Iraq declining on a YoY basis, analysts remain Sell rated.
Revenue VolatilityCommentary around the contribution to revenues from Iraq for the rest of the year suggest that these revenues will be volatile and highly uncertain, which is likely to make it difficult to track the company’s progress on its initiatives in the retail business.
