On May 5, FISV shares tumbled 8.8% after reporting its Q1 results. Its adjusted EPS of $1.79 topped Wall Street expectations of $1.58. 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.

Among the 34 analysts covering FISV stock, the consensus rating is a “Hold.” That’s based on four “Strong Buy” ratings, two “Moderate Buys,” 26 “Holds,” and two “Strong Sells.”

On May 7, Baird kept an “Outperform” rating on FISV and lowered the price target to $78, implying a potential upside of 43.4% from current levels.

The mean price target of $68.35 represents a 25.7% premium to FISV’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $91 suggests an ambitious upside potential of 67.3%.
