What's happening
ACI Worldwide is being highlighted as a quality stock for its capital efficiency and cash flow, while the company is reportedly exploring a sale of its billing or Biller segment. Reports say the Biller business could be shopped at about a US$1.5 billion valuation, and ACI's consolidated 2025 results included roughly US$818 million in revenue and US$141 million in adjusted EBITDA. Sources indicate ACI has engaged advisers and that private equity firms are among the leading interested buyers as investors chase payments software and recurring-revenue businesses.
