Why Was FISV Stock Falling?

Fiserv’s shares were on a losing streak following a lackluster second-quarter (Q2) report. 

Fiserv posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.84, missing consensus estimates, while revenue of $4.96 billion was down 4% year-over-year and below the Street forecast. 

The company’s merchant solutions revenue declined 1%, while financial solutions revenue fell 8% organically. Fiserv also cut its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to between $7.20 and $7.40, from $8 to $8.30 previously, and lowered its organic revenue growth forecast to flat to down 1%, versus prior guidance of 1%-3%.

Wall Street Lowers Targets On FISV Stock

The company also attracted a series of Wall Street price target cuts following the results. 

Most recently, Stephens resumed coverage of Fiserv with an ‘Equal Weight’ rating and $57 price target, implying an upside of about 8% from its last close. The analyst said that the company needs to regain momentum as Clover, its cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) and merchant platform, is posting negative growth. 

Last week, various analysts lowered targets on Fiserv. Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance cut the price target on the company to $54 from $60 and maintained a ‘Neutral’ rating on the shares. The analyst said that while Fiserv's reset was largely anticipated, reduced visibility into the turnaround was a concern as higher investment spending, weaker revenue expectations, and continued margin pressure push the story into show-me territory until growth stabilization emerges. 

As per data from Koyfin, FISV stock has a 12-month average price target of $62.18, implying an upside of about 18% from its last close. Of the 37 analysts covering the stock, a whopping 35 have a ‘Buy’ or higher rating.
