Third quarter 2026 GAAP revenue of $3.31 billion and adjusted net revenue of $3.18 billion. On a normalized basis 1, adjusted net revenue accelerated sequentially to more than 4%. Reaffirms 2026 full year outlook and capital return plan. GAAP revenues were $3.31 billion and diluted earnings per share were $1.06. Adjusted EPS increased 10% to $3.58.
Results detail
Further figures in the release included Global Payments’ Board of Directors approved a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on December 24, 2026 to shareholders of record as of December 10, 2026; Revenues $ 3,306,284 $ 2,019,509 63.7 % $ 9,596,757 $ 5,809,114 65.2 %; Operating income 246,231 774,028 (68.2) % 567,706 1,539,295 (63.1) %.
The filing is an Item 2.02 results announcement furnished with Exhibit 99.1. Comparisons use the year-earlier period as presented by GLOBAL PAYMENTS INC unless the release specifies another baseline. Where both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics appear, both are summarized when the extract includes them.
Segment mix, cash flow and any outlook language in the release are the usual secondary reads after the headline revenue and earnings figures. One-time items—restructuring, impairments, gains on sales or legal settlements—can move GAAP profit without changing the run-rate story, so reconciliations remain essential.
Why it matters
For retail investors, the GLOBAL PAYMENTS INC print is a check on whether growth, margins and cash generation are moving together. The figures above come from the company’s Exhibit 99.1 earnings materials; how they stack up against the prior-year run rate and any guide published with the release will shape the near-term debate.
