Pernas Research stated the following regarding Paysafe Limited (NYSE:PSFE) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Paysafe Limited (NYSE:PSFE) is down roughly 60% since we initiated the position in February of last year, and in hindsight we were slightly aggressive with the initial sizing given the high leverage in the name. Although a relatively small error, this is a lesson we have had to relearn. Overly leveraged positions are always difficult to size. It’s important to size initially smaller than one would like and be prepared to add if there is a large selloff (provided the thesis is intact and p(default) has not increased), and be further prepared to add again. Investing is difficult, and when you choose to invest in leveraged names it becomes ten times more difficult. We still view Paysafe as a potential multi-bagger going into 2026, which explains its continued positioning in the portfolio.”
