WU

In the past six months, WU's stock price declined, reaching a new 52-week low of $6.09 on September 24, 2026, after missing quarterly earnings estimates ($0.31 EPS vs. $0.42 expected). Analysts issued a 'Strong Sell' consensus with an average price target of $7.55, and the stock fell 25.37% over 12 months. Despite this, the company maintained a quarterly dividend of $0.235 per share, yielding approximately 15.4%. Q1 2026 revenue was flat year-over-year due to a North America retail slowdown, offset by growth in Consumer Services and Branded Digital, while operating margins decreased. Western Union updated its 2026 guidance, expecting adjusted revenue growth of 4-6% and adjusted EPS of $1.25-$1.35, anticipating a stronger second half. The company also received regulatory approval to acquire International Money Express (Intermex) in August 2026 and launched its USDPT stablecoin in May 2026.
