What happened Shares of payments processor company Global Payments (NYSE: GPN) were falling today, down 11% as of 2:38 p.m. Investors might be skeptical the company can hit its numbers, given that management said its outlook assumes "continuing recovery from the pandemic worldwide and a stable global macroeconomic environment throughout 2022." Given the unpredictability of inflation, the war in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, and aggressive Fed tightening, it appears investors don't believe there will be a "stable global macroeconomic environment" in 2022.
