Nov 8 (Reuters) - Adyen (ADYEN.AS) on Wednesday cut its medium-term sales target, earning praise from analysts who said the new forecast was more realistic at a time when the digital payments sector is struggling.
The Netherlands-based company, whose clients include Netflix (NFLX.O), Meta (META.O) and Spotify (SPOT.N), said it expects net sales to grow annually between a low to high twenties percentage, while it had previously forecast percentage growth between mid-twenties and low thirties.
"Despite guidance being lowered, we see this as a positive as it's more realistic," J.P.Morgan analysts wrote in a note, adding the release is a "major relief" that will reassure investors.
"Overall targets are lowered from previous targets and while likely more realistic, they still look ambitious," Jefferies analysts said in a note.
Adyen added it would aim to improve its core profit (EBITDA) margin to above 50% in 2026.
