Polen Capital made the following comment about Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“The activity this quarter included two new initiations along with modest adds and trims to existing positions. During this period, we initiated new positions in Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:EEFT) and Bumble.
Euronet is a technology company in the financial services space. It is an industry leader in providing secure electronic financial transaction solutions through ATM operations and outsourcing, the second larger global money transfer business, and digital payment solutions. We previously owned the company and sold it during the pandemic due to acute concerns that drove a wider range of outcomes. Those concerns have been resolved and we believe the company remains extremely well-positioned for the long term. While macro uncertainties and currency fluctuations create a nearterm headwind reflected in the depressed valuation, we believe Euronet should be able to able to deliver low double-digit topline growth and sustain solid margins and cash flow while continuing to buy back stock and do accretive M&A.”
