AI Summary

TrimMedium

PAY has broken decisively below a key support zone and fallen through the 9- and 20-day EMAs, as highlighted by the primary Support Failure pattern. Sellers remain in control amid bearish momentum and any favorable risk/reward is likely to emerge on a retest of the broken support around $37.6–$37.7. We view the medium-term bias as bearish, with a deferred sell into that resistance zone as the optimal execution.

  • Based on the strength of our bookings with increasing frequency of large enterprise wins and the corresponding backlog that we are busy onboarding, we have greater visibility that is already extending beyond 2025.
  • Revenue was $280.1 million, an increase of 41.9% year-over-year, largely driven by increased number of billers and higher transactions. Contribution profit was $93.5 million, up 22.3% year-over-year. And adjusted EBITDA, which continues to be a primary financial metric for us, was $31.7 million, a 40.7% year-over-year increase and representing a 33.9% adjusted EBITDA margin.
