In other recent news, Flywire’s fourth-quarter earnings and forward guidance have prompted several analyst downgrades. The company’s earnings report revealed a shortfall in expectations, with guidance for 2025 revenue growth projected at 10-14%, below the anticipated 20% or more. This has led to a wave of downgrades from major firms. Goldman Sachs downgraded Flywire to Neutral and set a price target of $15, while Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James moved their rating from ’Strong Buy’ to ’Outperform’ with a price target of $17. JPMorgan also maintained a Neutral rating, lowering their price target to $16, and BTIG downgraded the stock to Neutral due to challenges in key markets like Canada and Australia.

UBS further downgraded Flywire from Buy to Neutral, reducing the price target to $15 from $25, citing the company’s revised revenue growth forecast as a key factor. Flywire’s strategic review and a 10% workforce reduction aim to address these challenges. Despite these downgrades, some analysts, like those at Raymond James, still see potential in Flywire’s valuation and growth prospects. The company is also focusing on its travel segment and recent acquisition of Sertifi as part of its strategy to navigate current market conditions.
