Why Does FI Stock Spark Debate?

Powering over 1 billion accounts and processing more than 12,000 financial transactions per second globally, Fiserv (NYSE: FI) provides payment processing and financial technology solutions that enable merchants, banks, and credit unions to accept payments and manage financial transactions.

One Positive Attribute:

1. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth

We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Fiserv’s EPS grew at a remarkable 18.3% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 7.9% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded.

One Reason to be Careful:

Lackluster Revenue Growth

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a stretched historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Fiserv’s annualized revenue growth of 7% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak.
