Toast Location Gains Should Have Driven Payment Volume Higher -- Market Talk
Dow Jones
Feb 20, 2025
1743 ET - Toast's 26% increase in the total number of restaurants it provides payment services to should have driven gross payment volume higher in the fourth quarter. The developer of payment systems saw a 25% increase in gross payment volume to $42.2 billion. While this key metric beat Wall Street expectations, the growth was below the percentage rate for location gains in the period. This suggests consumer spending across restaurants remains weak in the U.S. and a concern for analysts. Toast shares are down 2.3% to $39.29 in post-market trading, despite having also beat revenue expectations in the fourth quarter. (sabela.ojea@wsj.com; @sabelaojeaguix)
