Is it correct that Adyen hasn't developed their own A2A payment option? (think I heard on some expert call). And now $FOUR owns Global Blue and soon an A2A biz which is attractive for big ticket purchases/luxury goods?

What price would you guys buy $NCMI at? Stock plunging from terrible acquisition. But there’s a price for everything. Last terrible acquisition I followed was $BTU and their stock collapsed too and they got out of the deal. Stock re-rated hard. https://t.co/ecUOLwfD4H
