What are your thoughts on how Apple Pay and Google Pay are affecting the payment industry as a whole? Do you think they pose a threat to digital payment methods and companies?

Apple and Google Pay will take market share from companies such as PayPal but they do not compete with Adyen, it’s a different part of the value chain

Thanks for the write up. Is there a risk that the margins are rapidly shrinking given quarterly operating income has declined. Growth without sustaining margins would not provide stock market returns. Thoughts?

The risk is that the margin compression is permanent and not short-term. If the margins continue to decline or do not recover it would suggest that the commodization of payments has become a reality.

Good work! I'm doing a write-up on the payments industry as well, making more a comparison between Adyen and Braintree. I'm currently leaning positive on Adyen as well.

Amazing job well done! The importance of the return on the cash excess (customer transactions) and futur cash excess is huge when intrest rates stay high and will increase in the futur
