Bulls say / Bears say
Lesaka achieved a meaningful earnings inflection in FY2026: net revenue increased 20%, adjusted EBITDA rose 41%, adjusted EPS grew 210%, and the company recorded its first full-year GAAP profit since 2022. (GlobeNewswire)
Growth is becoming more diversified beyond the merchant franchise: Consumer revenue and adjusted EBITDA rose 38% and 78% in FY2026, while Enterprise revenue and adjusted EBITDA increased 62% and 474%, respectively. (GlobeNewswire)
Management’s FY2027 outlook implies continued operating momentum, with net revenue guided to ZAR 7.0–7.7 billion, adjusted EBITDA to ZAR 1.45–1.60 billion and adjusted EPS to ZAR 7.50–8.50; the outlook also includes potential contribution from Bank Zero. (GlobeNewswire)
Merchant remains a material weak spot: FY2026 merchant revenue fell 10%, adjusted EBITDA declined 6%, and Q4 revenue and adjusted EBITDA dropped 14% and 33%, respectively. (GlobeNewswire)
The GAAP profitability inflection is still thin relative to adjusted earnings: FY2026 attributable net income was only $2.8 million versus $32.2 million of adjusted earnings, with adjustments including amortization, stock compensation, rebranding, impairments and transaction costs. (GlobeNewswire)
Execution and regulatory risk remain elevated: FY2027 guidance includes the pending Bank Zero acquisition, which still requires South African regulatory approval, while Q1 FY2027 guidance incorporates one-time merchant restructuring costs. (GlobeNewswire)
