NEW YORK , Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bentley Systems Inc. (NASD: BSY) will replace Western Union Co. (NYSE: WU) in the S&P MidCap 400, and Western Union will replace Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASD: COOP) in the S&P SmallCap 600 effective prior to the opening of trading on Monday, October 6.

The Western Union Company faces secular headwinds from digital competition, but recent revenue declines stem mostly from geopolitical events and U.S. immigration policy. WU's Consumer Services segment is growing rapidly, and the company is acquiring International Money Express to expand its Latin American footprint and boost earnings. Despite a double-digit dividend yield (11.7%) and strong insider buying, the stock trades near all-time lows due to bearish sentiment and perceived obsolescence.

Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields, because they provide a significant income stream and have substantial total return potential.

Western Union collaborates with dLocal to enhance its digital services suite and expand digital remittance options across Latin America.
