Shift4 Payments, Inc. (FOUR) experienced a significant intraday plummet of 15.76% on Thursday, as the stock price sharply declined during the trading session.
The dramatic drop follows the company's release of its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, which revealed both adjusted earnings per share and revenue falling short of Wall Street expectations. According to the earnings report, Shift4 posted adjusted EPS of $1.60 for Q4 2025, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.62. Quarterly revenue came in at $1.189 billion, also below the $1.204 billion estimate.
More critically, the company provided a disappointing outlook for fiscal year 2026, forecasting adjusted EPS between $5.50 and $5.70, well below analysts' estimates of $6.40. The weak guidance, combined with the Q4 misses, triggered a negative investor response that pushed the stock to an over two-year low during Thursday's trading.
