CENTER VALLEY, Pa. & SIGNY, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shift4 (NYSE: FOUR), the global commerce technology provider powering the experience economy, has launched Shift4 One, an all-in-one solution combining payments, dynamic currency conversion, and tax-free shopping into a single handheld device. The tax-free shopping functionality is powered by Global Blue, the world's leading tax-free shopping provider, which was acquired by Shift4. The Shift4 One device automatically detects transactions.

Investors with an interest in Financial Transaction Services stocks have likely encountered both Shift4 Payments (FOUR) and RB Global (RBA). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

Shift4 is evolving into a niche, vertically integrated payments monopoly post-Global Blue acquisition, with market synergies not yet priced in. FOUR's acquisition of Global Blue brings dominant VAT refund infrastructure, high-margin DCC, and access to 70,000+ European merchants, driving revenue and margin expansion. Hardware consolidation via Shift4 One POS could materially boost Global Blue's TFS success ratio, unlocking €80M+ incremental revenue and €32M EBITDA with minimal incremental cost.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shift4 Payments, Inc. (“Shift4” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FOUR), announced today, in connection with the 10,000,000 shares of 6% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock issued on May 5, 2025, consistent with the terms laid out in the offering, the Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $1.50 per share to be paid in cash on August 3, 2026 to holders of record as of the close of business on July 15, 2026.

Shift4 Payments has lost over half its value in the past year, yet I see a strong buy opportunity. FOUR reported Q4 2025 revenues of $1.12B, up 32.15% YoY, beating analyst expectations by $34.04M. EPS for the quarter was $0.97, exceeding consensus by $0.01, signaling robust operational performance.

Shift4 Payments specializes in high-volume, complex payment environments like hotels and stadiums. PayPal remains a global leader in digital wallets with over 430 million active accounts.

Shift4 Payments (FOUR) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.

Shift4 Payments (FOUR) is positioned as a leading integrated payments processor with strong niche market leadership and a diverse customer base. FOUR's Q1 results outperformed 2026 guidance, with volume up 24% yoy and international revenue up 51%, signaling underappreciated growth potential. Valuation remains attractive at ~8.5x forward earnings, with consensus 2027 EPS at $6.75 and potential upside to $7.40, implying 30-35% stock appreciation.
