The sharp downward revision to free cash flow guidance is the dominant negative signal, despite the headline revenue and EPS beat. Monitor Q3 2026 for signs of operating leverage and whether the accelerated investment spend in EV charging and banking begins to narrow; if FCF conversion does not improve, the stock could face further pressure. The $304M cash position and reaffirmed revenue/EBITDA guidance provide a floor, but the heavy investment phase justifies a cautious near-term stance.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Nayax Q2 2026 revenue of $122.6M (+28% YoY) beat consensus by 1.3%, while adjusted diluted EPS of $0.144 beat the $0.13 estimate by 10.8% on strong recurring revenue growth. However, the company slashed its 2026 free cash flow conversion guidance from ~40% to 5-10% of Adjusted EBITDA, citing accelerated investments in EV charging, financial services, and supply chain, which offsets the positive operating metrics and creates a mixed outlook.
Key Financial Metrics

- Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.144 beat consensus $0.13 by 10.8%.
- GAAP net loss of $10.1M vs prior-year net income of $11.7M, driven by $12.4M in stock-based compensation.

Financial Impact
Revenue beat by ~$1.6M (1.3%) and EPS beat by $0.014 (10.8%), but FCF guidance cut from ~40% to 5-10% of Adjusted EBITDA implies up to $30M lower FCF than previously expected at the midpoint.
Risk Factors
- Free cash flow guidance cut signals a prolonged investment cycle that may delay margin expansion.
- High stock-based compensation ($12.4M in Q2) continues to depress GAAP profitability.
- Hardware margin compression (28.1% vs 35.4%) due to Lynkwell mix and freight costs.
- Execution risk on EV charging expansion and U.S. bank charter application.
