Talking point: On an earnings call, chief financial officer Dave Schwartz said the revised forecast is due to longer lag times in generating revenue with larger clients and ending a relationship with a big, unnamed customer. In the second quarter, Nuvei’s quarterly net income dropped by more than half to US$11.6 million from US$35.1 million last year. It posted diluted earnings per share of US$0.39, missing analyst expectations of US$0.44 a share, according to estimates compiled by FactSet. Nuvei shares closed down nearly 40 per cent on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
