International Money Express stock downgraded by Northland on WU acquisition

Investing.com - Northland downgraded International Money Express (NASDAQ:IMXI) from Outperform to Market Perform and set a price target of $16.00, matching the acquisition offer from Western Union . The stock, which has declined nearly 50% over the past six months according to InvestingPro data, currently trades at $14.91 with a market capitalization of $447.55 million.

The downgrade follows the announcement that Western Union will acquire International Money Express for $16.00 cash per share, with the transaction expected to close within the next 9-12 months.

International Money Express reported second-quarter 2025 revenue of $161.1 million, representing a 6.1% year-over-year decline, according to the analyst note.

The company’s adjusted EBITDA for the same period was $28.8 million, down 7.4% compared to the previous year, with performance impacted by lower service fees resulting from a decreased number of transactions.

Northland’s price target adjustment to $16.00 directly aligns with the cash offer from Western Union, reflecting the firm’s view that the stock is now fairly valued based on the pending acquisition.
