Where CPAY is headed
Corpay in 2028 looks nothing like the FLEETCOR most US investors remember. The fuel card business that built the company is now the smallest growth contributor in the mix, while Corporate Payments, cross-border FX, and the AP automation suite are doing the heavy lifting. Cross-border alone has been growing north of 30% on volume, and management has been steadily acquiring its way into the corners of B2B payments that legacy banks refuse to service properly. The Avid Exchange tuck-in, the Paymerang deal, the GPS Capital Markets purchase, these are not random bolt-ons, they are a deliberate assembly of a full-stack B2B payments operator that competes with Bill.com (NASDAQ:BILL), Coupa, and the treasury arms of JPMorgan and Citi at a fraction of the price tag.
