Flywire shares have returned 59.1% over the past 12 months, raising the question of whether the payments company's $21.57 share price is still justified by the returns it earns on capital. An Excess Returns model assumes stable earnings of $1.27 per share on a book value of $7.42 per share, expected to reach $9.03. Against a cost of equity of $0.66 per share, that implies an excess return of $0.61 per share and an average return on equity of 14.04%. The model puts intrinsic value meaningfully above the current price. Flywire trades at 33.5x earnings. Morgan Stanley has raised its 2027 and 2028 estimates for recurring licensing and subscription revenue. Views are split. Bulls point to education revenue outside the Big 4 markets growing more than 40% year over year in the first quarter of 2026. Bears see the stock as 20% overvalued, citing a gross margin drop of about 400 to 450 basis points.
Flywire reported third-quarter revenue of $250.3 million, up 25.1% from $200.1 million a year earlier. Total payment volume rose 27.7% to $17.8 billion. Net income reached $74.5 million, against $29.6 million last year. It includes a non-cash tax benefit of about $39.2 million, which the company does not expect to recur. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 39.2% to $79.5 million, with margin up about 310 basis points to 32.5%. Flywire raised its 2026 growth guidance for FX-neutral revenue less ancillary services by 2 points at the midpoint. The company signed about 180 new clients across 31 countries. Board member Alex Finkelstein resigned effective October 29, 2026, after serving since 2011.
Flywire expanded its partnership with Davidson Hospitality Group on 9 September, rolling out its payment and e-signature platform across Davidson's full hotel portfolio. Properties using the tools saw signature turnaround times drop by roughly 75% and achieved savings on processing fees within months. The deal follows a strong second quarter in which Flywire's revenue rose 27.2% year over year to $167.7 million, and total payment volume jumped 38.2% to $8.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 44.5% to $24 million, lifting the margin to 14.6%. The company raised its full-year revenue growth guidance by 300 basis points at the midpoint. However, gross margin slipped to 53.4% from 57% a year earlier. Flywire remains unprofitable on a GAAP basis, posting a net loss of $8.1 million in the quarter.
Flywire reported second quarter results that beat analyst expectations on revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The company posted revenue of $163.8 million, up 28.5% year-on-year and 4.5% above estimates. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $24.04 million, beating forecasts by 11.4%. CEO Michael Massaro attributed the performance to broad-based growth across education, travel, and B2B payments. The company's guidance for third quarter revenue of $231 million exceeded analyst estimates of $229.1 million. During the earnings call, analysts probed management on proposed US visa regulations, business mix at $1 billion revenue, cross-sell opportunities, margin dynamics between domestic and cross-border volumes, and AI implementation costs. Flywire said its guidance assumes a prudent 30% visa decline and noted that digital transformation investments are driving productivity gains.
Flywire exceeded second-quarter expectations, with revenue less ancillary services rising 28% year-over-year to $164 million and adjusted EBITDA reaching $24 million. Transaction revenue increased 35% to $135.9 million, supported by 43% growth in transaction payment volume. Travel, hospitality, healthcare, and B2B payment-processing drove growth. The company raised its 2026 outlook to 21%–27% FX-neutral revenue growth and approximately 23% adjusted EBITDA margin at midpoint. Flywire projects more than $50 million in GAAP net income and 70%–75% free-cash-flow conversion. The company remains cautious about international education due to visa and regulatory pressures, but is diversifying geographically and expanding its Student Financial Services platform, hospitality business, and AI-driven automation initiatives.
