Fiserv provides financial services technology through three primary segments (merchant acceptance, financial technology, payments and network). FI is a leading provider of financial processing and related services, like electronic funds transfers, payment processing, and loan processing. The company’s market capitalization is about $130 billion, and it serves customers around the world.

As for earnings, FI’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 report showed the company growing, even amid macro challenges like currency fluctuations. Fiserv grew revenue by 7% for the year, generating per-share earnings of $8.80 (a 17% year-over-year increase) and $5.2 billion in free cash flow. Its 2025 guidance called for up to 12% of organic revenue growth, a 15%-17% jump in adjusted EPS, and roughly $5.5 billion in free cash flow.

It’s no wonder FI shares are up 12% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
