$GPN (+0%) . Paul Singer has now entered the market with his Elliot Management. A shark as he is written in the book. $GPN (+0%) has put quite a lot of money (24.3 billion dollars) on the table for the takeover of Worldpay. After that it went down sharply. But what is perhaps being disregarded by the stock market is the now strongly promoted stablecoin sector.

Worldpay already processes over 50 billion transactions per year in 146 countries. But now it's about more: Worldpay will be working with BVNK's multi-rail infrastructure in the future. The aim is to enable companies around the world to pay out in stablecoins - almost in real time.

John McNaught, SVP at Worldpay, explains: "We want to give companies the opportunity to pay people with stablecoins anywhere in the world - faster, cheaper and more efficiently than ever before."

Stablecoins: the next trillion-dollar game

This opens up Global Payments a gigantic market. Stablecoins such as USDC, USDT & Co. already have a market capitalization of around 250 billion dollars. But experts are certain that this is just the beginning.

Especially in international business - where traditional bank transfers often take days and cost horrendous fees - stablecoins could trigger the next revolution. Retailers, influencers, suppliers, freelancers: in future, everyone should be able to be paid in digital dollars at lightning speed.

"This is the real game changer," says industry insiders. "Those who scale this first will dominate payment transactions in the future."

Global Payments: On the way to a commerce empire

Parallel is expanding Global Payments is expanding its "Genius" platform. The aim is no longer just to process payments, but to become the digital nerve center for the entire retail sector. Whether table reservations, loyalty programs or invoice automation - everything is to be merged into a single platform in future.

CEO Cameron Bready calls it a "groundbreaking day" for the industry. The merged company will soon serve over 6 million customers in 175 countries and process around 94 billion transactions per year.

The forecasts are gigantic: Global Payments expects adjusted net sales of 12.5 billion dollars and EBITDA of 6.5 billion dollars in 2025.

I am currently considering an entry for the medium/long term.

Is the share price loss due to the acquisition justified or is this a one-off opportunity?

- Worldpay acquired for 22.7 billion dollars,

- Issuer Solutions sold

- Share price falls over 17 % despite strong quarterly figures

- 600m $ cost synergies and

- new focus business model expected

The acquisition is expected to generate 600 million dollars in cost synergies - and at least 200 million dollars in additional revenue. The new company is targeting an adjusted EBITDA of 6.5 billion dollars for 2025. The deal will be financed partly from the sale and partly with fresh debt. Net debt will rise to 3.5 times EBITDA in the short term, but is expected to fall again within two years.

Investors clearly punish this action and the share price falls significantly by almost 20%.

I stick to my guns and increase the position in Global Payments $GPN (+0%) position.

In the still young year, the DAX has already recorded 16 record highs, the last one only yesterday. Most other stock market indices are also close to their all-time highs.

The Block item $SQ (-1,55%) (Square & Cash App) was expanded to 100 shares.

I am now invested in a large number of fintechs ($PYPL, (-0,83%)
$SOFI, (+0,46%)
$GPN, (+0%)
$SQ) (-1,55%) because I am convinced that at least one of these stocks will make a moon landing. They are not all really comparable, but each has the potential to be an X-Bagger 😎🤞🏼

Subsequent acquisition of Global Payments $GPN (+0%) with a view to a revaluation as soon as all the mergers are fully integrated and the figures speak for themselves. The day will come and then this rocket will also ignite 😎🤞🏼

$GPN (+0%) Global Payments

The dividends received from Volkswagen and Mutares go directly into increasing Global Payments. I now hold 60 shares in the payment processor. I believe that the massive acquisitions will also deliver positive key figures in the coming years.

Post's chief financial officer Melanie Kreis just can't get rid of her luxury problem, which plagued the Bonn-based company the previous year. The large amount of money that customers showered on the DAX-listed company in $DPW (-0,29%) the DAX-listed company in 2021, has to come out - and fast. Otherwise, as a resolution passed twelve years ago by the Management Board and Supervisory Board warns, the former state-owned company may be in breach of its own guidelines. Instead of the free cash flow of 2.3 billion euros initially targeted for 2021, the company reported a cash inflow of 4.1 billion euros at the end of the fiscal year.
