The company is targeting adjusted and organic revenue growth of 1% to 3% and an adjusted earnings per share of $8 to $8.30

One user said that FISV’s historical numbers indicate that “There is 0% chance they reach said guidance unless q2 is a total blow out.”

Another user pointed out, “$FISV if $FIS got crushed for lowering guidance by 0.5% then what do you think will happen to fisv when we cut guidance. We may be $30 fisv.” FISV stock last closed at $55.78. 

However, a third user said, “$FISV everyone saying Fiserv will get crushed when the lower guidance. Let’s get the facts straight, if you’ve been in the stock market at all you know they would never lower guidance in Q2 it would most likely be next quarter. People have no clue what they’re talking about, guidence will stay the same.”
