Global Payments releases new POS for retail sector

ATLANTA - Global Payments Inc. (NYSE: GPN), a prominent provider of payment technology and software solutions with annual revenue of $10.1 billion, has introduced its Genius for Retail solution, a new point-of-sale (POS) system tailored to meet the needs of small and medium-sized retail businesses. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong financial health rating of GOOD and appears undervalued at current market prices. This launch comes on the heels of the company’s Genius for Restaurants solution, which debuted in May.

The Genius for Retail solution is designed to be user-friendly, allowing for quick setup and operation for various retail outlets such as sporting goods, gift shops, boutiques, and cafes. It includes advanced payment capabilities, enabling merchants to accept various forms of payment, including cards, mobile wallets, and gift cards, both in-store and on the go.

In addition to payment processing, the POS system offers comprehensive business management tools. Retailers can manage inventory, invoicing, employee schedules, and customer insights from one platform. The system also incorporates customer engagement features like promotions and profile management to encourage repeat business, as well as order-ahead capabilities for customer convenience.

According to Bob Cortopassi, President and COO of Global Payments, the Genius for Retail solution represents a significant investment in providing a unified and comprehensive POS platform for merchants worldwide. The company, which maintains healthy profit margins of 63% and has demonstrated consistent profitability over the last twelve months, aims to leverage its understanding of the retail market to support business growth for small and medium-sized shops.

Terry Roberts, President of Merchant Solutions at Global Payments, highlighted the POS system’s potential to optimize business performance and provide retailers with a competitive edge through features that help manage operations, increase sales, and inform business decisions.

The Genius for Retail solution is currently available to U.S. merchants, with plans to introduce additional retail configurations later in the year, including versions for age-restricted products and service businesses. Global Payments intends to launch the solution in more geographies throughout 2025.

In other recent news, Global Payments Inc. has announced the sale of its payroll business to Acrisure for $1.1 billion. This strategic move is part of the company’s efforts to streamline operations and focus on its core financial technology services. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2025, with the proceeds being used to return capital to shareholders. Analysts from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and BMO Capital Markets have maintained their Market Perform ratings for the company, setting price targets of $81 and $86, respectively.
