Riley analyst Hal Goetsch, on February 27, reduced his target price on Shift4 Payments by 8.4% to $120 (from $131), but retained the firm\u2019s Buy recommendation on the stock. This update comes on the heels of the release of FOUR\u2019s Q4 2025 results, which B. Riley had mixed feelings about. Management\u2019s 2026 guidance also missed the firm\u2019s expectations, likely due to cautious assumptions amid ongoing acquisition integration and a higher cost of debt.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\"><!-- HTML_TAG_START -->Shift4 Payments released its Q4 2025 results on February 26, which showed adjusted diluted earnings per share declining 3.6% YoY to $1.60. This figure is in line with analyst expectations (albeit already tempered). The earnings decline was due to significantly higher interest expense (more than 2x vs. Q4 2024), as the company took on debt to temporarily finance its acquisition of GlobalBlue. The higher interest expense more than offset the 51% increase in revenue.<!-- HTML_TAG_END --><\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"article-figure-image\" class=\"yf-750ceo\">\n<div class=\"image-container yf-lglytj\" style=\"--max-height: 512px;\">\n<div class=\"image-wrapper yf-lglytj\" style=\"--aspect-ratio: 768 \/ 512; --img-max-width: 768px;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/nl_rP3FTocUd7tKKXmeKCw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/insidermonkey.com\/7ffda457565139c481d660200b662c3a\" alt=\"B.
