Executive summary

Corpay provides business payment services, including fuel cards for vehicle fleets, corporate payment solutions, lodging and cross-border payments. Customers use its products to control spending and to pay suppliers and employees. The company earns revenue from fees charged to merchants and customers, interchange on card transactions, and foreign exchange margins, so payment volumes and fuel prices influence its results.

It does not pay a dividend. Looking at the numbers, trailing revenue is $5.0 billion, and it expanded at 9.7% a year across three years. Operating margin is 43.7%, while return on invested capital is 10%. Leverage, measured as net debt to EBITDA, is 4.5 times.

StocksXray gives Corpay, Inc. an X-Ray Score of 54 out of 100 (high confidence), ahead of 66% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is profitability (67) and its weakest is financial health (22).

Our fair value blend is $491.47 (range $324.87 to $454.95). At $399.84 the stock trades 19% below that blend, so the label is "Fair" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
