Worldline bought 3 major companies in the last decade, Equens, Six Payment services and Ingenico for about 15B, and was worth around 8B. Today it is worth two billions euro. And there are plenty of smaller transactions not included in the above numbers. So, looking for buyers interested in Worldline would be a solution, with a deep transformation of the current management, so as to actually integrate the various organizations, which looks more like a holding today, than a unite company. Endless processes, anything takes months.. Job protection and political discussions are constant. Lack of vision, vertical organization, French employees are highly privileged, at some level, only French individuals, all the “””experts””” teams etc. are in France and are not experts at much… AI team is irrelevant, Security no comments..

They won’t recover and improve, no signs of any positive transformations. One case of an Organization unfit for growth, in the general meaning of an organization and organizations theory, which is a fundamental factor in any company.

FY 2024 results are going to be presented tomorrow, the stock value, is uneventful and stable, and does not show any expectation in the revenues and performances of the company.
