Talking point: The company had tempered expectations last quarter by lowering its outlook for the year, citing “higher volatility and lower volume in digital assets and cryptocurrencies, and a more cautious view of the macroeconomic environment.” Nuvei is maintaining its cautious outlook for the rest of 2022. It expects US$117 billion to US$121 billion in total payments volume and between US$820 million and US$850 million in revenue. Despite Thursday’s uptick, Nuvei shares have dropped more than 50 cent this year, underperforming the overall market.
