EVERTEC (EVTC) Is Up 5.8% After Raising 2026 Revenue Outlook And Expanding Buybacks - What's Changed

Simply Wall St · 2d ago
  • In early August 2026, EVERTEC, Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 results showing higher sales of US$274.82 million but sharply lower net income of US$5.41 million year-on-year, while also raising full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of US$1.09 billion and expanding its share repurchase authorization to US$150 million.
