Shares of FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a global payment processing firm serving the fuel card market, fell following disappointing quarterly results and a modest reduction in its full-year revenue guidance. Investors had expected an acceleration of organic growth during the second half of 2016, but instead it modestly decelerated. Investor sentiment was also tarnished by a large contract loss and intensifying foreign exchange market headwinds into year end. We expect these headwinds to abate and strong earnings growth to persist.
