With a market cap of $23.1 billion, Atlanta, Georgia-based Corpay, Inc. (CPAY) operates as a payments company that helps businesses and consumers manage vehicle-related expenses, lodging expenses, and corporate payments in the United States and internationally.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks", and CPAY fits this description perfectly. The company offers vehicle payment solutions, prepaid food and transportation vouchers and cards, corporate payment solutions, virtual cards, cross-border solutions, and serves business, merchant, consumer, and payment network customers.

CPAY currently trades 21.6% below its all-time high of $400.81 recorded on Feb. 6. Corpay's stock has declined 9.4% over the past three months, notably underperforming the Nasdaq Composite’s ($NASX) 11.7% uptick during the same time frame.

In the long term, CPAY stock has declined 7.1% on a YTD basis, underperforming the Nasdaq’s 1.2% increase. However, shares of CPAY grew 24.6% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming NASX’s 9.4% returns over the same period.

To confirm its recent downturn, CPAY has been trading below its 200-day moving average since early April, with some fluctuations, and dropped below its 50-day moving average in the previous trading session.

CPAY stock prices remained mostly flat in the trading session after the release of its better-than-expected Q1 earnings on May 6. The company’s net revenues increased 7.5% year-over-year to approximately $1 billion, mainly driven by solid performance in its Corporate Payments segment, and surpassed the Street’s estimates as well. Its adjusted EBITDA margin came in at 55.2%, flat year-over-year, and its adjusted EBITDA came in at $555.4 million. The company’s adjusted net income grew 7.2% year-over-year to $322.9 million, and its adjusted EPS increased 10% from the prior year’s quarter to $4.51 and surpassed the consensus estimates.

Its peer, PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL) has declined 19.7% in 2025 and has surged 16% over the past year, underperforming Corpay.

Among the 17 analysts covering the CPAY stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $393.13 suggests a 25% upside potential from current price levels.
