If I add my estimate for U.S. BNPL GMV and liquidity product originations to U.S. credit card volume, it raises the pro-forma growth rate by ~1%, suggesting #FinTechs are playing a key role sustaining consumer spending growth in the U.S.
$XYZ $CHYM $DAVE $PYPL $AFRM $KLAR
In Q2, #FinTechs originated $73.4 billion in loans across BNPL and liquidity products, a 35% increase over the prior year period, an 11% jump from Q1 and the highest growth rate since at least Q1 2023.

$BILL calling for:
- 12-15% core revenue growth in FY'26 vs. 16% in FY'25
- AOI of $240-270M in FY'26 vs. $240M in FY'25
- Still an $80M GAAP operating loss in FY'25
Company needs to grow faster or make money, but can't continue to do neither.
Bought back the shares I sold and then a little bit more Intuit $INTU this morning. In a market defined by quality selling at unreasonably high prices, I think $INTU is among the highest quality, now selling at a reasonable price. Long $INTU.

Guide looks in-line(ish), stock's down about 5% after hours. At about 30x LTM FCF. Not terrible, but still not super attractive. We'll see where the dust settles. $INTU

Intuit $INTU reporting after the close. Took a little off the table above $800, would love to see it pull back further. $700 is still a little bit too rich for my blood.
Undeniable that the trend favors Square $XYZ in food and beverage - Toast's $TOST GPV spread vs. Square has fallen from +18% to +8% over the past 8 quarters.
Today, I'm realizing a personal dream of mine - I'm installing two zoysia tee boxes in my backyard. Lots of chipping, pitching and kid driving range time in my future!
Jack Henry $JKHY looking more reasonable here. But why buy it in the low 20x when you can have Fiserv $FI at 12.5x? My position in Fiserv $FI is up to 450 shares.
Jack Henry $JKHY guiding to 6.4% organic revenue growth (midpoint) in FY26 (similar to FY25) is somewhat disappointing. GAAP EPS guide is meaningless w/just $16MM in deconversion fees assumed for FY vs. $20.5MM in Q4. Interested to see stock trade tomorrow. Guessing down?
Toast $TOST is ranked #5 on my list of the Top 10 Businesses in Payments and #FinTech. Great business, but a valuation to match. Even under my aggressive assumptions, $TOST looks slightly overvalued today. Article link 👇

Based on the numbers I'm looking at, It's very apparent #FinTechs and their partner banks are flooding the zone with short-term liquidity in the form of #BNPL and EWA products like Cash App Borrow $XYZ, MyPay $CHYM and ExtraCash $DAVE. $KLAR GMV +19% in Q2 vs. +13% in Q1
