Positive Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Marqeta reported third-quarter 2026 net revenue of $176 million, up 8% year over year, and total processing volume of $126 billion, up 29%. GAAP net income was $115 million, compared with a net loss of $4 million a year earlier, but it includes a $107 million non-cash income tax benefit, so the profit figure overstates core operating results. Guidance calls for fourth-quarter net revenue growth of 3% to 5% and full-year 2026 growth of 11% to 12%.
