Just a few short weeks after completing a $58B merger with Coterra Energy earlier in May, Devon Energy received an offer of $8B for its shale assets in the Marcellus region of Pennsylvania. The offer, from money manager Stone Ridge Asset Management, covers about 190,000 net acres and could become the largest asset-backed securitization funding ever attempted in the United States oil and gas sector. (Source).
As noted in Business News Today, the Coterra merger gave Devon both assets and exposure across the Marcellus, Anadarko, Eagle Ford and Williston Basins, with the attendant risks and opportunities. Devon must now show that it can handle such varied assets, or else divest itself of those not related to its core business.
The Marcellus assets are expected to account for approximately twenty percent of Devon’s 1.6M barrels of oil equivalent (boe)/day production forecast in 2026. (Source). Part of the importance of the Stone Ridge offer is that it provides a clear price point for Devon’s Marcellus assets, and not a theoretical framework for discussion of value. While Devon DEO Clay Gaspar has indicated that Devon might divert some non-core positions, the company recently has been in an expansion mode. On May 20 it was the biggest buyer of oil and gas drilling rights on federal land in New Mexico and Texas at an auction held by the federal government. In fact, Devon was responsible for $2.5B out of the total $4B sale, a record for such auctions.
Regardless of whether Devon accepts the Stone Ridge offer, the fact of the offer itself shows the value of such wells in Pennsylvania. As of February 2026, the Keystone State has 281,000 wells which produce an average of 1,073,895 million cubic feet (mcf) per natural gas well. (Source). That makes Pennsylvania the second largest producer of natural gas in the United States, accounting for approximately 19% of the national total. (Source). This is an extraordinary statistic given that approximately twenty years ago Pennsylvania had almost no natural gas industry at all.
Pennsylvania’s natural gas reserves doubled from 2013 to 2023 and now reaches an estimate of 101 trillion cubic feel (Tcf). (Source). As the state uses only about one-quarter of the natural gas that it produces, Pennsylvania truly becomes the “keystone” for surrounding states in providing natural gas, especially to states north and east like New York, which has plentiful natural gas reserves but chooses not to develop them, or New Jersey which has limited reserves.

In addition, the Marcellus Basin assets have demonstrated low decline rates. As such there is talk that these assets might lend themselves to securitization of individual wells, which could be appealing to potential investors looking for an interest in energy assets. This is made possible by the lower depletion rates, making these assets attractive to investors over the longer term. (Source).
Likely then, Stone Ridge would partner with an operator to extract the natural gas while using its financing skill to develop, produce and sell an investment vehicle. If successful, this could help revolutionize the energy industry – at least in the Marcellus – and drive up even further the value of Marcellus assets.
However the Stone Ridge offer for Devon’s Marcellus assets shakes out, it could be that the big winner is Pennsylvania. Unlike New York, Pennsylvania welcomed the energy industry, and that industry may continue to make Pennsylvania a strong place to do business into the middle of the twenty-first century.

SummaryCompaniesDevon plans to return up to 70% free cash flow to shareholdersExpects to repay $1.25 billion debtStrategic, financial portfolio review underway - CEO Clay GasparJune 9 (Reuters) - Devon Energy (DVN.N), opens new tab on Tuesday forecast its 2026 production to average 1.38 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, after the completion of its merger with Coterra Energy.
The $58 billion merger, completed in May, created one of the largest independent oil and gas producers in the U.S. Its presence in half a dozen regions is led by the Delaware portion of the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico.

The company also forecast full-year capital spending of about $4.9 billion, with more than 60% of it allocated to the Permian Basin, as it focuses activity around its core assets.
Devon said it would provide timely updates as it looks to concentrate the portfolio around its Permian position to improve shareholder returns.
"Optimizing our portfolio remains a top priority, and a complete review of our strategic and financial criteria is well underway," CEO Clay Gaspar said.
The shale producer said it aims to return up to 70% of free cash flow to shareholders through a combination of a quarterly fixed dividend of $0.32 per share and its previously announced $8 billion share repurchase program.
Devon said it expected to repay $1.25 billion of debt this year.
It added that it is accelerating merger-related synergies, targeting to capture $600 million in 2027 and $1 billion in annual pre-tax synergies on a run-rate basis by the end of that year.
Last month, Devon acquired 16,300 net undeveloped acres in the core of the Delaware Basin in New Mexico for about $2.6 billion.

Devon Energy NYSE:DVN shares climbed more than 6% on Wednesday after analysts responded positively to the company's latest operational update and outlook following its acquisition of Coterra Energy earlier this year.
The rally came after Evercore ISI upgraded Devon to Outperform, citing what it described as a "better-than-expected mid-month update."
Investors also assessed new guidance related to the company's integration of Coterra, which Devon acquired in early May in a deal valued at approximately $58 billion.
The update provided additional details on production expectations, capital spending plans, synergy realization, and shareholder return commitments as the company continues integrating the acquired assets.
Analysts focus on post-acquisition outlookDevon management updated investors on its outlook following the Coterra acquisition, offering pro forma guidance and commentary on expected synergies and portfolio optimization efforts.
BMO Capital reiterated its Outperform rating on Devon and maintained a $65 price target.
The firm said the update included expected mid-June guidance, progress on synergy capture, and additional information regarding portfolio reviews.
According to BMO, the update appeared largely neutral overall but suggested stronger capital efficiency than previously expected.
The firm noted that these benefits were offset by higher operating expenses, increased cash taxes, and weaker pricing at the Waha natural gas hub.
The company also reaffirmed its commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
Devon said it plans to return up to 70% of free cash flow through its previously announced $8 billion share repurchase authorization and its base dividend program.
BMO added that it continues to see significant value in Devon shares and believes improved execution and portfolio optimization could help narrow the valuation gap relative to industry peers.
The company's shareholder return framework remains an important component of the investment thesis for analysts.
Under the current plan, Devon intends to continue directing a substantial portion of free cash flow toward buybacks and dividends while also managing debt levels following the Coterra transaction.
Analysts noted that the company has maintained its commitment to capital discipline despite the scale of the acquisition.
The latest guidance also highlighted ongoing efforts to capture synergies from the merger.
Management indicated that integration initiatives remain on track, providing investors with additional confidence in the transaction's long-term potential.
The company is also reviewing its asset portfolio as part of its broader integration strategy, which could result in further optimization efforts over time.
William Blair analyst Neal Dingmann maintained a Buy rating on Devon, pointing to several factors supporting the company's long-term outlook.
According to Dingmann, Devon's pro forma production outlook and capital spending plans for 2026 appear slightly stronger than current market expectations.
He also noted that the company's shareholder return and debt reduction plans remain consistent with investor expectations.
Dingmann highlighted Devon's increasing focus on the Permian Basin as another positive development.
The company plans to direct significant investment toward the region, a move that could potentially be accompanied by the monetization of non-core assets.
He believes that operating efficiencies, visible synergy capture ahead of the company's 2027 targets, and a large inventory of Permian drilling opportunities support the stock's long-term value proposition.

The combined company is on track to produce an average of 1.38 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026. To do so, it plans to spend roughly $4.9 billion this year to bring 460 to 480 net wells online.

Lucrative cash returns for shareholders Devon's operating strategy prioritizes cost-efficiency and free cash flow generation. Management is targeting $1 billion in ongoing annual pre-tax cost savings by the end of 2027. Devon intends to use the cash its wells produce to strengthen its balance sheet by paying off $1.25 billion of debt.
Devon also plans to pass about 70% of its excess cash on to shareowners via a quarterly fixed dividend of $0.32 per share -- representing a forward annual yield of 2.7% based on its current stock price of $46.60 -- and $8 billion in stock buybacks.
"Today's guidance underscores the strength of our newly combined platform as one of the largest and most efficient E&P [exploration and production] companies," CEO Clay Gaspar said.

We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly’s Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly’s Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP.
Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is calculated in accordance with the current Nareit definition as FFO minus normalized recurring real estate-related expenditures and other non-cash items, nonrecurring expenditures and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund its dividends. Because all companies do not calculate CAD the same way, the presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO) adjusts FFO to present an alternative measure of the Company's operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes items which it believes are not representative of ongoing operating results, such as liability management related costs (including losses on extinguishment of debt and modification costs), catastrophic event charges, depreciation of non-real estate assets, provision for (recovery of) credit losses, and the unconsolidated real estate venture's allocated share of these adjustments. In future periods, the Company may also exclude other items from Core FFO that it believes may help investors compare its results. The Company believes Core FFO more accurately reflects the ongoing operational and financial performance of the Company's core business.
EBITDA is calculated as the sum of net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on the sale of operating properties, impairment loss, and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, is not presented as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of operating performance, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not indicative of operating income or cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP and may be presented on a pro forma basis. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to service or incur debt. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA the same way, the presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Funds From Operations (FFO) is defined, in accordance with the Nareit FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. FFO includes the Company’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors.
Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt Net Debt represents the Company's consolidated debt and its share of unconsolidated debt adjusted to exclude its share of unamortized premiums and discounts and deferred financing fees, less its share of cash and cash equivalents and property acquisition closing escrow, net of deposit. By excluding these items, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding its financial condition. Adjusted Net Debt is Net Debt reduced by 1) for each project under construction or in design, the lesser of i) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts and ii) the cost to date, 2) 40% times the amount by which the cost to date exceeds total lump-sum reimbursement amounts for each project under construction or in design and 3) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts for projects previously completed. These adjustments are made to 1) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction, in design or previously completed that has been financed with debt which may be repaid with outstanding cost reimbursement payments from the US Government and 2) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction or in design, in excess of total lump-sum reimbursements, that has been financed with debt but has not yet produced earnings. See page 28 of the Company’s Q1 2026 Supplemental Information Package for further information. The Company’s method of calculating Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and may be presented on a pro forma basis. Accordingly, the Company's method may not be comparable to such other REITs.
Other Definitions
Fully diluted basis assumes the exchange of all outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in the Company’s operating partnership, or common units, the full vesting of all shares of restricted stock, and the exchange of all earned and vested LTIP units in the Company’s operating partnership for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, which is not the same as the meaning of “fully diluted” under GAAP.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a webcast and conference call at 11:00 am Eastern time on April 27, 2026 to review the first quarter 2026 performance, discuss recent events and conduct a question-and-answer session.

In addition, our anticipated qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. We assume no obligation to update publicly any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) ("Trulieve" or "the Company"), a leading and top-performing cannabis company in the U.S., today announced that it has filed applications with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to register certain state‑licensed medical marijuana operations pursuant to the expedited registration pathway established by the recent rescheduling of medical marijuana to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act.
"DEA registration for our medical business marks a historic step forward for Trulieve and the patients we serve," said Trulieve Chief Executive Officer Kim Rivers. "With over 200 dispensaries serving only medical patients, Trulieve is uniquely positioned to set the bar as a responsible operator in U.S. cannabis."
Following the reclassification of medical marijuana to Schedule III, the DEA established an expedited registration process for eligible state‑licensed medical marijuana operators. For operators that apply within 60 days, licensure to manufacture, distribute, and dispense Schedule III medical marijuana products is deemed approved unless otherwise notified.
About Trulieve
Trulieve is an industry leading, vertically integrated cannabis company and multi-state operator in the U.S., with established hubs in the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest, anchored by cornerstone markets in Arizona, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Driven by a core mission to expand access to cannabis, Trulieve serves customers with innovative, high-quality branded products and exceptional experiences. With scaled operations in attractive markets and targeted expansion through its hub strategy, Trulieve is poised for accelerated growth. Trulieve is listed on the CSE under the symbol TRUL and trades on the OTCQX market under the symbol TCNNF. For more information, please visit Trulieve.com.
Easterly Government Properties remains a buy, supported by resilient government-backed leases and a significant margin of safety implied in the current valuation. DEA's Q1 results were solid, with FFO in line and revenue slightly beating expectations; core FFO guidance was raised at the low end, reflecting new mezzanine lending activity. The company's $1.5 billion long-term pipeline and sustainable ~7.77% yield are offset by high borrowing costs and macro risks, particularly from inflation and delayed Fed rate cuts.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEEF Brands, Inc. (CSE: LEEF) (OTCQB: LEEEF) (“LEEF” or the “Company”), a rapidly growing cannabis company, today announced that it has filed applications for registration with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) following recent federal cannabis rescheduling developments.
The applications are a key step in positioning LEEF to participate in potential interstate commerce and international export channels as regulatory frameworks evolve. To support this process, LEEF has engaged attorney Shane Pennington, Partner at Blank Rome, and a leading expert in DEA licensing and regulatory strategy.
“Rescheduling is the most significant change our industry has seen in over 50 years,” said Micah Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of LEEF Brands. “We’ve spent years building a low-cost, vertically integrated platform designed for this moment. For the first time in this industry’s history, federal policy is moving in a direction that makes what we do more valuable, not less.”
LEEF is currently profitable operating in California — one of the most competitive and lowest-priced cannabis markets in the world — driven by its vertically integrated model and in-house cultivation at Salisbury Canyon Ranch. Interstate and global exports are expected to provide an opportunity to sell into other markets at meaningfully higher prices.
LEEF’s platform includes one of the world’s largest cannabis farms and one of the highest-capacity, most sophisticated extraction labs. The Company believes this platform positions it to supply both the U.S. and global markets. While regulatory timelines remain uncertain, LEEF is actively preparing to participate as opportunities emerge.
About LEEF Brands, Inc.
LEEF Brands, Inc. is a leading California and New York-based extraction and manufacturing cannabis company. With a comprehensive supply chain, innovative manufacturing processes, a dynamic bulk concentrate portfolio, and a growing line of branded products, LEEF powers some of the largest cannabis brands in the United States.

Approval timelines are tracking to Compass’ fastest projected expectations, supported by regulatory acceleration including a rolling New Drug Application (NDA) submission and the Commissioner’s National Priority Review Voucher (CNPV).
NDA rolling submission underway: FDA granted Compass NDA rolling submission and review request, based on strength of positive Phase 3 data. Rolling submission and review are underway, with sections of the NDA already submitted. 26-week (Part B) data from COMP006, expected in early Q3 2026. The final NDA submission remains on track for Q4, aligned with the Company’s previously defined accelerated timing. Post-NDA filing momentum: CNPV awarded for COMP360, Compass’ proprietary formulation of synthetic psilocybin for TRD, which has the potential to accelerate filing review time to be completed within 1-2 months. White House Executive Order on psychedelics treatments directs the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to initiate and complete review of psychedelic treatment that has successfully completed Phase 3 trials so that rescheduling may proceed as quickly as possible. Advancing toward commercial launch
Launch readiness: Compass will be launch ready by the end of the year and has assembled a highly experienced commercial leadership team. The team is advancing comprehensive launch preparedness efforts, including KOL and HCP education, payer engagement, and ongoing initiatives to support a timely federal and state rescheduling process. Delivery infrastructure readiness: COMP360 is expected to fit seamlessly across diverse healthcare settings within the current infrastructure of over 7,300 centers1 offering multi-hour treatments Treatment centers are growing rapidly, and existing centers are already scaling in anticipation of a COMP360 launch and additional multi-hour psychedelic treatments coming to market. COMP360’s transformative clinical profile
COMP360 has the potential to offer a highly differentiated, transformative clinical profile and is expected to be a blockbuster opportunity. COMP360 is the first classic psychedelic2 to consistently achieve a highly statistically significant result and clinically meaningful effect in 3 large late-stage trials involving more than 1,000 participants living with TRD, with a generally well-tolerated and safe profile. COMP360 demonstrates effects as quickly as within one day after administration with durability lasting at least through 6 months for those who achieve a clinically meaningful response after one or two doses. Financial Highlights
Research and development expenses were $26.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $30.9 million during the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower development expenses, reflecting reduced clinical trial costs as our Phase 3 program for COMP360 psilocybin therapy in TRD progresses toward completion, as well reduced discovery program expenses following the termination of certain programs in connection with the reorganization that took place in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the related contract terminations in 2025. General and administrative expenses were $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $18.7 million during the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower legal and professional fees, driven by higher financing-related costs in 2025, including those associated with warrant issuances, which were expensed as incurred, whereas a greater portion of such costs in 2026 were capitalized. This decrease was partially offset by increased consulting and legal advisory expenses. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $91.2 million, or $0.71 net income per share (basic) and $0.30 net loss per share (diluted), compared with a net loss of $17.9 million, or $0.20 net loss per share (basic) and $0.24 net loss per share (diluted), during the same period in 2025. The increase in net income was primarily driven by a $130.9 million non-cash gain on fair value adjustment related to our warrants, compared with $19.5 million during the same period in 2025. As the fair value of the warrants fluctuates with our share price, this adjustment can result in significant variability in our reported net income or net loss. Cash and cash equivalents were $466.0 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $149.6 million as of December 31, 2025. Debt was $50.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared with $31.6 million as of December 31, 2025. Financial Guidance
The current cash position is expected to be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into 2028.

Federal bond yields act as financial gravity—when they surge, stable, cash-flowing real estate automatically goes on sale. DEA's Government Shield: Easterly secures 86% of its rental revenue directly from the U.S. government, creating a recession-resistant dividend.

A long-awaited change in U.S. federal marijuana law occurred in late April, when the Drug Enforcement Administation rescheduled marijuana from its high-risk Schedule I to a Schedule III designation, which is for drugs with accepted medical use and low potential for dependence. The move was initially seen as a historic change for the drug and the industry that's grown up around it.
However, the impact thus far has been relatively muted. Nevertheless, the reform will make a difference to certain cannabis companies. Let's look at how it might -- or, more appropriately, might not -- affect one of Canada's top marijuana companies, Canopy Growth (CGC 0.49%).
Image source: Getty Images.
Medical relief The very large catch in the DEA's rescheduling of cannabis is that it applies solely to medical marijuana, not the recreational variety. And medical is restricted, logically enough, to users deemed to have at least one affliction that the drug can treat.
Nevertheless, for some purveyors of pot destined for healthcare use, this is going to make a difference both operationally and financially.
The most crucial of these changes, arguably, is that, in the shift from Schedule I to III, medical product sales are no longer subject to Internal Revenue Service Section 280E. That means companies selling them are no longer limited to deducting only their cost of goods sold; they can also deduct standard business expenses (marketing/advertising, rent, salaries, insurance, and so on).
While this might not exactly result in a windfall for cannabis companies, it provides plenty of relief for those involved in the medical segment. But again, there's a catch here -- Health Canada, that country's healthcare regulator, narrowly limits cannabis export permits to certain medical or research uses. Therefore, north-of-the-border cannabis companies don't have an easy channel to the U.S. for medical products.
Canopy Growth, of course, is a presence on the U.S. market anyway, albeit at some distance. It has an affiliate, Canopy USA, in which it holds only a non-controlling interest, to maintain its clutch of American assets (including medical pot businesses). Of course, there's a catch: The parent company cannot consolidate Canopy USA's results into its own.
So ultimately, we don't have a good fix on how much medical weed Canopy's U.S. "affiliate" sells. Also, absent more meaningful legal reform, this situation won't change, and these sales will remain unconsolidated.
This company needs more than a legal shift It's likely that this situation is a major reason Canopy Growth officials haven't broken out the party hats. The change will directly affect it when, or if, it graduates to a controlling interest in Canopy USA. Only then can the unit's results be incorporated into its own.
So what are we left with here? Canopy Growth is one of Canada's top pot companies, but given the industry's many struggles, that's not an enviable position. Net profits have been very far and few between, and net losses have been considerable at times. The company's free cash flow habitually runs negative as well.

A clutch of acquisitions hasn't helped lift it into the black; meanwhile, frequent (and often substantial) secondary share issues have left early investors much diluted and, surely, more than a little disappointed.
Legalization in the U.S., or at least a fuller rescheduling of marijuana, is the pearl that many a Canadian pot company with an eye on this country clutches to.
However, I'm not convinced this will be a magic success maker for any weed business, least of all Canopy Growth; the U.S. market is already competitive, and those Canopy USA units aren't collectively powerful enough to dominate what's still a fragmented industry.
The Great Marijuana Rescheduling of 2026, which in the end wasn't so great, isn't going to affect Canopy Growth in any material way. At least, not soon. And given how the company continues to perform, I don't think its stock is a buy.
REITs are looking increasingly compelling in the current environment. I detail my favorite 7%+ yielding REIT investment opportunities right now. I share the risks and the upside potential for both of them.
If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Royalty Pharma (RPRX - Free Report) . This company, which is in the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.
This company has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 7.59%.
For the last reported quarter, Royalty Pharma came out with earnings of $1.46 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.33 per share, representing a surprise of 9.77%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $1.11 per share and it actually produced earnings of $1.17 per share, delivering a surprise of 5.41%.
Price and EPS Surprise
With this earnings history in mind, recent estimates have been moving higher for Royalty Pharma. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the company is positive, which is a great sign of an earnings beat, especially when you combine this metric with its nice Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Royalty Pharma has an Earnings ESP of +2.05% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner.
When the Earnings ESP comes up negative, investors should note that this will reduce the predictive power of the metric. But, a negative value is not indicative of a stock's earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Codexis (CDXS - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 7. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis producer of custom industrial enzymes is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +36%.
Revenues are expected to be $14.98 million, up 98.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 92.86% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Codexis?For Codexis, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +41.94%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that Codexis will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Codexis would post earnings of $0.01 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.11, delivering a surprise of +1,000.00%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Codexis appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, Royalty Pharma (RPRX - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $1.22 per share for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +15.1%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $891.22 million, up 6.2% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Royalty Pharma has been revised 2.3% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of +2.05%, reflecting a higher Most Accurate Estimate.
When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP indicates that Royalty Pharma will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.

2026 Financial Outlook
Royalty Pharma has provided guidance for full year 2026, excluding new transactions and borrowings announced after the date of this release, as follows:
Provided May 6, 2026PreviousPortfolio Receipts$3,325 million to $3,450 million$3,275 million to $3,425 millionPayments for operating and professional costs5.5% to 6.5% of Portfolio Receipts5.5% to 6.5% of Portfolio ReceiptsInterest paid$350 million to $360 million$350 million to $360 million Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty Receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts. The above Portfolio Receipts guidance provided on May 6, 2026 includes expected Royalty Receipts growth of 4% to 8% in 2026.
Royalty Pharma’s full year 2026 guidance reflects an estimated foreign exchange impact of approximately +1% to Portfolio Receipts, assuming current foreign exchange rates prevail for the rest of 2026.
Payments for operating and professional costs in 2026 are expected to decrease as a percentage of Portfolio Receipts, compared to 8.9% in 2025, primarily due to extinguishment of the management fee following the completion of the internalization transaction on May 16, 2025.
Total interest paid is based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing notes and the quarterly interest payment schedule for the term loan assumed as part of the internalization transaction. In 2026, Royalty Pharma anticipates interest paid to be approximately $350 million to $360 million.(5) Interest paid in the third quarter of 2026 is anticipated to be approximately $175 million. De minimis amounts are anticipated in the second and fourth quarters of 2026. These projections assume no additional debt financing in 2026, including no drawdown on the revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2026, Royalty Pharma collected interest of $6 million on its cash and cash equivalents, which partially offset interest paid.
Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view of its prospects. This guidance assumes no major unforeseen adverse events or changes in foreign exchange rates and excludes the contributions from transactions announced subsequent to the date of this press release.

Portfolio Receipts
Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents Royalty Pharma’s ability to generate cash from Royalty Pharma’s portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that is deployed to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty Receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty Receipts includes variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma.
Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include royalty receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts that were received on an accelerated basis under the terms of the agreement governing the receipt or payment. Portfolio Receipts also does not include proceeds from equity securities or proceeds from purchases and sales of marketable securities, both of which are not central to Royalty Pharma’s fundamental business strategy. 2025 Portfolio Receipts does not include the $511 million of proceeds from the sale of the MorphoSys Development Funding Bonds, as the transaction was treated as an asset sale.
Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from Royalty Pharma’s GAAP condensed consolidated statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of Royalty Receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to the Legacy Investors Partnerships.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are non-GAAP liquidity measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are important non-GAAP measures used to analyze liquidity because they are key components of certain material covenants contained within Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement. Royalty Pharma cautions readers that amounts presented in accordance with the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies or analysts. These non-GAAP liquidity measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Royalty Pharma’s results as reported under GAAP.
The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow used by Royalty Pharma are the same as the definitions in the credit agreement. Noncompliance with the interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and Portfolio Cash Flow ratio covenants under the credit agreement could result in lenders requiring the company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If Royalty Pharma cannot satisfy these covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are critical to the assessment of Royalty Pharma’s liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are used by management as key liquidity measures in the evaluation of the company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to funding of acquisitions, debt repayments, dividends and other discretionary investments. Further, these non-GAAP liquidity measures help management, the audit committee and investors evaluate the company’s ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.
The company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP liquidity measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, being net cash provided by operating activities in Table 4.

Royalty Pharma (RPRX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $1.3 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.22 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.06 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +6.56%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.33 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.46, delivering a surprise of +9.77%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Royalty Pharma, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry, posted revenues of $925 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.79%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $839 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Royalty Pharma shares have added about 30.5% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 6%.
What's Next for Royalty Pharma?While Royalty Pharma has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Royalty Pharma was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.29 on $783.05 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $5.08 on $3.45 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Biomedical and Genetics is currently in the bottom 40% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 7.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.76 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -2.6%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $222.47 million, up 20.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Have you been paying attention to shares of Royalty Pharma (RPRX - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 7.6% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $50.82 in the previous session. Royalty Pharma has gained 30.5% since the start of the year compared to the -7.3% gain for the Zacks Medical sector and the -1.6% return for the Zacks Medical - Biomedical and Genetics industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on May 6, 2026, Royalty Pharma reported EPS of $1.3 versus consensus estimate of $1.22 while it beat the consensus revenue estimate by 5.95%.
For the current fiscal year, Royalty Pharma is expected to post earnings of $5.08 per share on $3.45 in revenues. This represents a 5.18% change in EPS on a 5.95% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.41 per share on $3.63 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 6.35% and 5.36%, respectively.
Valuation MetricsThough Royalty Pharma has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for Royalty Pharma? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Royalty Pharma has a Value Score of B. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are C and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 9.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 21.7X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 10.6X versus its peer group's average of 13.9X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 3.22. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.
Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Royalty Pharma currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Royalty Pharma passes the test. Thus, it seems as though Royalty Pharma shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.
Investors with an interest in Medical - Biomedical and Genetics stocks have likely encountered both Royalty Pharma (RPRX - Free Report) and Amgen (AMGN - Free Report) . But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
Everyone has their own methods for finding great value opportunities, but our model includes pairing an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system with a strong Zacks Rank. The proven Zacks Rank puts an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, while our Style Scores work to identify stocks with specific traits.
Royalty Pharma has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Amgen has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that RPRX likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than AMGN has recently. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors analyze a variety of traditional, tried-and-true metrics to help find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.
RPRX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 9.92, while AMGN has a forward P/E of 14.84. We also note that RPRX has a PEG ratio of 3.22. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. AMGN currently has a PEG ratio of 3.35.
Another notable valuation metric for RPRX is its P/B ratio of 3. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, AMGN has a P/B of 19.35.
These metrics, and several others, help RPRX earn a Value grade of B, while AMGN has been given a Value grade of C.
RPRX is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that RPRX is likely the superior value option right now.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Paysafe's ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, Paysafe's credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on Paysafe's revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Paysafe's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Paysafe class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2745 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

New MoonPay-powered product enables players to seamlessly deposit in stablecoins and cryptocurrencies at iGaming and daily fantasy sports brands
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform, today announced the launch of Pay with Crypto, a new crypto payment method for iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports brands in the U.S. market. Powered by MoonPay, the leader in global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, Pay with Crypto allows iGaming brands’ customers to use their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency to effortlessly fund their player accounts, where permitted.
With a reported ~70.4m American adults owning cryptocurrency and with Paysafe’s own research indicating that 83% of U.S. players have appetite for crypto payments, the company has responded to meet this demand with Pay with Crypto. Whether a player wants to fund their iGaming account using USD Coin (USDC), another stablecoin, or any major cryptocurrency, Paysafe’s new payment option for operators’ cashiers enables their crypto deposit to be rapidly converted to U.S. dollars to allow play.
After selecting Pay with Crypto and their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency, players simply connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund the deposit, with the MoonPay Commerce Checkouts technology also supporting transactions via QR code using users’ phones. Once transactions have been verified, Pay with Crypto instantly converts crypto deposits into U.S. dollars to fund the player account.
The flexibility embedded in the Pay with Crypto solution also extends to operators, which can choose to settle payments almost instantly in stablecoins in their business’s crypto wallet, or settle in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency through MoonPay’s Virtual Accounts powered by Iron.
Operators can upgrade their cashiers with Pay with Crypto through a single, streamlined integration of the Paysafe Gateway, which has been developed specifically for iGaming and leverages the company’s 30 years’ global experience. With the Gateway already boasting frictionless card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the PaysafeCash eCash solution, a Pay by Bank product, and 30+ local payment methods, the addition of Pay with Crypto sees Paysafe continue to diversify its offering to meet evolving transactional preferences.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: “Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the U.S. from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we’re seeing this shift gather pace in the country’s iGaming market. Against this backdrop, we’re delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers’ changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play.”
Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: “Crypto rails are making payments faster and more efficient, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility. People shouldn't have to convert their digital assets just to make a purchase – they want to use what they already have. Paysafe brings that experience to more people through trusted, regulated platforms.”

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Paysafe Limited (“Paysafe” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PSFE) and reminds investors of the April 7, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Paysafe’s ecommerce business had significant exposure to a single high risk client; (2) as a result, the Company’s credit loss reserves and/or write-offs were understated; (3) Paysafe had an undisclosed issue with higher risk Merchant Category Codes, making its client services difficult to bank; (4) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s revenue growth and overall revenue mix; (5) as a result, Paysafe was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for fiscal year 2025; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
On November 13, 2025, before the market opened, Paysafe announced third quarter financial results, including revenue of $433.8 million, which missed consensus estimates by $5.8 million, and a net loss of $87.7 million, a steep drop from the prior year period wherein the Company’s net loss was only $12.98 million. The Company also slashed full year 2025 expected revenue to $17 million at the midpoint, and adjusted EPS $0.50 at the midpoint.
The Company further revealed that its credit loss expense for the quarter was $13,220 “primarily [as] the result of a specific provision for expected chargebacks related to an individual merchant in the Merchant Solutions segment.” The report revealed write-offs of $9,924 “driven by the write off of irrecoverable amounts receivable in the Merchant Solutions segment.”
On the same date, the Company held an earnings call during which CEO Bruce Lowthers revealed the Company “had a last-minute client that had to shut down that caused several million-dollar write-down in Q3.” Lowthers further revealed the Company is in a market tier with “higher risk MCC [Merchant Category Codes] codes.” Lowthers explained “those things sometimes are a little difficult to bank” and “sometimes the banks aren’t open to the additional risk” “so, we’ve had a little bit of challenge with that with some of those MCC codes.”
On this news, Paysafe’s stock price fell $2.80, or 27.6%, to close at $7.36 per share on November 13, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.

Global payments platform Paysafe now enables iGaming operators and daily fantasy sports brands in the U.S. market to accept crypto payments.
The company’s new Pay with Crypto payment method lets iGaming brands’ customers fund their player accounts with stablecoins or cryptocurrency, where permitted, and then converts that crypto deposit to U.S. dollars to allow play, Paysafe said in a Tuesday (April 7) press release.
The solution is powered by global crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure firm MoonPay, according to the release.
For operators, Pay with Crypto offers a choice of settling payment almost instantly in stablecoins in their business’s crypto wallet or settling in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency, per the release.
The use of cryptocurrency is evolving from investment to payments, Zak Cutler, president of global gaming at Paysafe, said in the release.
“Against this backdrop, we’re delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers’ changing transactional preferences — the future of how they pay when they play,” Cutler said.

MoonPay Founder and CEO Ivan Soto-Wright said in the release that crypto rails make payments faster and more efficient.
“People shouldn’t have to convert their digital assets just to make a purchase — they want to use what they already have,” Soto-Wright said. “Paysafe brings that experience to more people through trusted, regulated platforms.”
Pay with Crypto joins several other payment methods enabled by Paysafe Gateway, which was developed specifically for iGaming. Paysafe Gateway also enables card payments, the Skrill digital wallet, the PaysafeCash eCash solution, a Pay by Bank product and more than 30 local payment methods, according to the release.
Payments increasingly sit at the center of a makeover of the sector in which sportsbooks and online gaming platforms compete for player loyalty, Cutler told PYMNTS in an interview posted in February 2025.
“Payments aren’t just a back-end function — they’re a strategic growth driver,” Cutler said. “The more seamless the process, the higher the conversion, retention and overall user satisfaction. That’s where the industry is headed.”
Paysafe reported in March that volumes in iGaming during the U.S. football season reached record levels, underscoring steady demand in entertainment-driven categories.
In 2025, the company’s North American iGaming business saw 50% processing revenue growth, Paysafe said in a March 3 earnings report.

On November 13, 2025, Paysafe announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2025, including revenue of $433.8 million, which missed consensus estimates by $5.8 million, and a net loss of $87.7 million, a steep drop from the prior year period wherein the Company’s net loss was only $12.98 million. Paysafe also slashed full year 2025 expected revenue to $17 million at the midpoint, and adjusted EPS $0.50 at the midpoint. On the same date, during a related earnings call, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Lowthers, revealed that the Company “had a last-minute client that had to shut down that caused several million-dollar write-down in Q3.” Lowthers further revealed the Company is “in kind of a lower-tier market, a lot of kind of travel or things that are more higher risk MCC [Merchant Category Codes] codes.” Lowthers explained that “those things sometimes are a little difficult to bank” and “sometimes the banks aren’t open to the additional risk” “so, we’ve had a little bit of challenge with that with some of those MCC codes, and we’re working our way through that.”
On this news, Paysafe’s stock price fell $2.80 per share, or 27.6%, to close at $7.36 per share on November 13, 2025.

, /PRNewswire/ -- MoonPay, the global leader in crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure, is now powering crypto payments inside Paysafe (NYSE: PSFE), a global payments platform that processed $167 billion in transactions in 2025. The integration embeds stablecoin rails directly into Paysafe's platform, giving merchants crypto payment capability alongside cards, digital wallets, eCash, bank transfers, and local payment rails.
The first product to launch from the partnership is Pay with Crypto, which allows brands' customers to use their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency to fund their accounts, where permitted. Whether a customer wants to fund an account using USD Coin (USDC), another stablecoin, or any major cryptocurrency, Paysafe's new payment option for operators' cashiers enables their crypto deposit to be rapidly converted to U.S. dollars. The solution supports e-commerce, financial services, retail, and iGaming and daily fantasy sports operators, among other verticals.
Ivan Soto-Wright, Founder and CEO of MoonPay, commented: "Crypto rails are making payments faster and cheaper, and our job is to close the gap between this technology and real-world utility."
Crypto as a Payments Rail
The integration reflects a broader shift in how stablecoin infrastructure scales. Rather than going direct-to-consumer, MoonPay is powering the crypto capability of an established payment processor, embedding stablecoin rails into traditional checkout flows. For merchants, that means gaining crypto payment functionality through Paysafe without requiring a separate integration.
Zak Cutler, President of Global Gaming at Paysafe, said: "Galvanized by the growing popularity of stablecoins, cryptocurrency is evolving in the U.S. from an investment asset into a unit of value for payments, and we're seeing this shift gather pace in the country's online gaming market. Against this backdrop, we're delighted to unveil Pay with Crypto, a forward-thinking solution that strongly positions U.S. operators for their customers' changing transactional preferences – the future of how they pay when they play."
How Pay with Crypto Works
After selecting Pay with Crypto and their preferred stablecoin or cryptocurrency, users simply connect their crypto or custodial wallet to fund the deposit, with the MoonPay Commerce Checkouts technology also supporting transactions via QR code using users' phones. Once transactions have been verified, Pay with Crypto instantly converts crypto deposits into U.S. dollars to fund the user's account.
For a daily fantasy sports operator, that means a player can fund their account with a stablecoin in seconds, expanding available deposit options without any additional integration work.
The flexibility embedded in the Pay with Crypto solution also extends to operators, which can choose to settle payments almost instantly in stablecoins in their business's crypto wallet, or settle in U.S. dollars or any major fiat currency through MoonPay's Virtual Accounts powered by Iron.
