Adyen published its H1 2026 shareholder letter and hosted its earnings call on 2026-08-13, updating investors on the year’s progress (company investor relations). Based on Adyen’s previously stated 2026 net revenue growth expectation of 20%–22% year over year in constant currency and management’s estimate that the Orb and Talon.One deals add about 1 percentage point, the company’s implied 2026 range now sits around 21%–23% (Q1 2026 update; Orb acquisition announcement).
Both transactions closed on 2026-07-01, and Adyen has said the combined investments are expected to dilute the 2026 margin by roughly 1 percentage point, including one-time transaction costs (press release).
What Adyen has confirmed for 2026
On 2026-05-06, Adyen guided to 2026 net revenue growth of 20%–22% year over year on a constant-currency basis (Q1 2026 Business Update).
On 2026-06-11, Adyen said the combined investments in Talon.One and Orb are expected to add approximately 1 percentage point to 2026 net revenue growth and dilute 2026 margin by about 1 percentage point, including one-time transaction costs. The company reiterated these points when confirming the deals closed on 2026-07-01 (acquisition update).
Adyen published its H1 2026 shareholder letter and hosted its earnings call on 2026-08-13 (investor relations).
Immediate implications for growth and margin
Reasonable inference from Adyen’s own disclosures suggests the effective 2026 net revenue growth outlook is now about 21%–23%: the prior 20%–22% range plus the estimated ~1 percentage-point uplift from the Orb and Talon.One acquisitions. This is an inference drawn from the company’s statements rather than a single explicit restatement.
For investors, the arithmetic points to a modest revenue tailwind in 2026 paired with a roughly 1 percentage-point margin headwind that includes one-time transaction costs. The mix underscores Adyen’s push to broaden its platform into promotions and billing, which may support cross-sell over time while keeping near-term profitability slightly lower than it otherwise would be.

What to watch next
Watch for Adyen’s next business update to see whether management reiterates or refines full-year expectations, including constant-currency net revenue growth and the projected ~1 percentage-point margin impact.
Integration milestones for Orb and Talon.One, evidence of cross-sell traction, and the pace of cost normalization after one-time items will be key to how the implied 21%–23% growth range and margin dilution translate into reported results across H2 2026.
