Narrowing the focus, FISV has also lagged behind the Global X FinTech ETF (FINX). The exchange-traded fund has declined about 11.1% over the past year. Moreover, the ETF’s 11.9% losses on a YTD basis outshine the stock’s dip over the same time frame.

The company’s adjusted revenue was $4.7 billion, falling short of Wall Street forecasts of $4.8 billion. FISV expects full-year adjusted EPS in the range of $8 to $8.30.
For the current fiscal year, ending in December, analysts expect FISV’s EPS to decline 5.8% to $8.14 on a diluted basis. The company’s earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing the forecast on another occasion.
