  • Adyen's shares rose as much as 15% on Thursday after the Dutch payments company reported full-year core earnings above market expectations, and forecast higher net revenue growth and continued margin expansion in 2025.

Adyen, a Dutch payment company, reported a full-year profit for 2025 that exceeded market expectations, with a net profit of 649.0 million euros compared to the anticipated 638.4 million euros by analysts. The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) reached 914.7 million euros, surpassing the expected 899.1 million euros. Despite these positive results, Adyen's shares experienced a decline of 3.5% in early trading, reflecting investor concerns over the company's growth rate, which slowed to 23% from 29% the previous year. This slowdown was attributed to increased competition in the payment processing sector and a cautious outlook for 2025, where Adyen forecasted a mid-twenties percentage increase in EBITDA, lower than the 30% growth seen in 2024. Additionally, Adyen announced plans to expand its workforce by 1,200 employees, aiming to bolster its capabilities in a competitive market.
