Why it matters

OptimistFi's case is that IDT's value depends on higher-margin growth engines replacing legacy telecom faster than competitors commoditize them, and this filing strengthens that view. Fintech revenue rose 14% to $176.0 million in FY 2026. BOSS Money digital revenue rose 21% to $119.4 million. That was 67.8% of FY 2026 Fintech segment revenue.

In 4Q26, BOSS Money digital revenue rose 22% to $33.7 million. Fintech segment Adjusted EBITDA rose 17% to $6.5 million. Digital transactions were 88.1% of total BOSS Money transactions in 4Q26. NRS revenue rose 24% to $159.4 million for FY 2026, and NRS Adjusted EBITDA rose 30% to $45.8 million. Traditional Communications Adjusted EBITDA rose 1% to $77.3 million for FY 2026, but gross profit fell 4%.

The counterargument is that adjusted net cash provided by operating activities fell to $60.9 million from $107.8 million. That keeps the case tied to execution and cash, not just reported growth.

What's next

IDT said FY 2027 consolidated gross profit is expected to be $545 million to $555 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be $176 million to $180 million. It said each operating segment will contribute to that growth. The board also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share, payable on October 14, 2026, to stockholders of record on October 5, 2026.

IDT will host an earnings conference call beginning at 5:30 PM Eastern today. A replay will be available about three hours after the call ends through October 12, 2026. A result near those ranges would support the case. A miss would weaken it.
