Three Metrics

No Results

Revenue shrank 7% cumulatively over FY2023-FY2025. Operating margin dipped in FY2024 (partly due to elevated SG&A and a large tax benefit inflating net income) but recovered in FY2025 as cost of revenue fell. FCF remains positive but well below the $800M+ levels Western Union generated earlier in the decade.

Balance Sheet And Cash

Net Debt / EBITDA

1.71

Equity ($M)

$958

Total debt is $2.8B against $1.2B cash, producing net debt of $1.6B. Leverage at 1.7x EBITDA is moderate for a financial-services business with predictable cash flows. Book equity is thin at $958M — Western Union has historically operated with negative or near-zero equity due to aggressive buybacks. Goodwill of $2.1B accounts for most of total equity plus some.

Market Cap ($M)

$2,929

At $8.94 per share (April 28, 2026) and 327.6M shares outstanding, market cap sits around $2.9B. Trailing P/E of roughly 5.9x on FY2025 net income of $500M looks optically cheap, but FY2024 net income of $934M was inflated by a $316M tax benefit — normalised earnings power is closer to $500-600M, putting the multiple at 5-6x. Price-to-revenue under 1x reflects the market pricing in continued topline erosion. Whether this is a value trap or a bargain depends on whether the revenue decline stabilises.
