$DECK back at multi year low valuations but concern is the classic value trap risk that margins and ROC are at cyclical peaks. Growth has really fallen off too from 15-18% in 2023-2025 to just 7% in 2026. https://t.co/jvT5HnDjnH

Global Payments $GPN approved a $2.5bn buyback, including a $550m in accelerated purchases, and expects to return over $2bn to shareholders in 2026. The target is still $7.5b in capital returns through 2027. Nice. And what’s also nice is the msd topline growth and 150bps margin expansion guided for this year. c. 6.5x 2026 EV/EBITDA.
