Adyen anticipates that much of its future growth will come from increased business with current customers, as well as attracting new clients and building out its range of financial products.
From 2026 onwards, Adyen expects these efforts to translate into around 20% annual net revenue growth in any given year.
It plans to update its annual net revenue growth objective as it gets clearer insight into forthcoming business opportunities.
Looking ahead to 2026, Adyen maintains its forecast for annual net revenue growth to fall within the low- to mid-twenties percentage range.

The company’s planned capital expenditure is set to remain capped at 5% of its net revenue.
Adyen chief financial officer Ethan Tandowsky said: “We’re excited about the opportunity ahead. By staying close to our customers and maintaining disciplined execution, we see significant potential to further expand our share in a fast-growing market.
“The scale and strength of our offering and team position us well to become one of the largest players in our industry.”
According to Reuters, Adyen is making gains compared to its American rivals by extending operations in North America and Asia—a move that contrasts with challenges faced by some European firms like Worldline and Nexi, who have “struggled” to retain customers.
The news agency also highlighted Adyen’s ability to contend with major US payments companies PayPal and Stripe, due in part to its payments platform and a pricing structure that rewards higher transaction volumes with lower fees, drawing interest from large corporate clients.
