GPN Global Payments, Inc.

Private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) is reportedly exploring a potential acquisition of Global Payments, working alongside GTCR, the company’s largest outside shareholder, according to the Financial Times. Discussions remain ongoing and may not result in a deal. The potential transaction carries an estimated enterprise value of $40 billion, which would make it one of the largest leveraged buyouts ever. Global Payments had a market capitalization of approximately $23 billion on Friday, with net debt exceeding $17 billion. No proposed purchase price or financing details have been disclosed, although a takeover would likely include a premium. Shares surged 11.6% following the report. The potential buyout comes after Global Payments shares suffered a prolonged decline following its 2025 acquisition of Worldpay from GTCR for more than $24 billion. $GPN
