Q&A details guidance, Connetic pipeline
Q&A largely reaffirmed prepared remarks, detailing 2026 guidance drivers: balanced segment growth from renewals, on-track implementations, and Connetic traction for 7-9% revenue rise, back-half loaded. Connetic's pipeline grows fastest, with two-thirds targeting mid-tier banks—a fresh focus—while real-time payments stay early innings at 8% growth last year. EBITDA faces slight compression from Connetic/Speedpay investments, but management stresses prudence over conservatism. Opportunistic M&A eyes Connetic acceleration or geo gaps. Confident visibility shines; investors eye Connetic conversions.
