Shift4 Payments Stock Soars 19% on March 24, 2026, as FOUR Shares Surge From 52-Week Lows Amid Short Squeeze

Shares of Shift4 Payments Inc. (NYSE: FOUR) rocketed nearly 19 percent on Tuesday, closing at $52.50 after touching an intraday high of $55.46, as the payment technology company rebounded sharply from recent 52-week lows and drew renewed investor attention following a period of pressure tied to cautious 2026 guidance.

The stock opened at $43.79 on March 24 and traded in a wide range of $43.44 to $55.46 before settling up $8.47, or 19.24 percent, on heavy volume exceeding 7.1 million shares — more than double recent daily averages. The surge erased much of the ground lost in recent sessions and lifted the company's market capitalization back above $4 billion from levels near $3.6 billion earlier in the month.
