WFMS is a joint venture that is owned 40% by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and 60% by Wells Fargo Bank.
The Company acquired its 40% ownership in WFMS through its 2019 merger with First Data Corporation. The joint venture is expected to expire on April&nbsp;1, 2025.
Upon expiration, the Company expects to receive a cash payment or assets equal to the value of its share of the joint venture, as determined in accordance with an agreed upon contractual valuation and separation process.
The Company estimates the impairment charge to be in the range of $400&nbsp;million to $600&nbsp;million.&nbsp;The Company does not expect the impairment to impact the Company&rsquo;s 2024 adjusted earnings per share because it is a&nbsp;non-cash&nbsp;impairment charge.
In addition, the Company does not expect to change its previously communicated medium-term performance outlook for 2025 and 2026 for organic revenue growth of&nbsp;9-12%&nbsp;or adjusted earnings per share growth of&nbsp;14-18%&nbsp;as a result of the expiration of the joint venture.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have $500 Today

Payments company Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) was hit with an antitrust lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday that analysts say could take years to sort out and will likely hurt shares<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41009461/visa-shares-are-moving-lower-today-what-you-need-to-know"> in the short term.</a>
 What Happened: The DOJ alleged Visa<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40996656/visa-reportedly-faces-doj-antitrust-lawsuit-alleging-monopolization-of-us-debit-card-market-amid"> used anticompetitive practices</a> in the debit network market in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in New York on Tuesday.
Visa controls over 60% of the U.S. debit transactions market, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged Visa illegally operates a monopoly by using exclusionary agreements with banks and merchants to prevent competition in the market.
"We allege that Visa has unlawfully amassed the power to extract fees that far exceed what it could charge in a competitive market," Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said.
Garland said merchants and banks pass these costs on to consumers.
"As a result, Visa's unlawful conduct affects not just the price of one thing — but the price of nearly everything."
The DOJ said it is seeking to "restore competition" to the market.
As Visa stock falls, analysts are weighing in with short-term and long-term repercussions for the company.
Goldman Sachs on Visa: Anti-competitive allegations against Visa were "broader in scope" than reported allegations from the Department of Justice were expected to be, Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance said in a new investor note.
The analyst said the lawsuit accused Visa of using incentive pricing, limiting the ability of alternative networks, threatening to terminate partnerships and entering into agreements with financial incentives to partners.
"The DOJ alleges that through these practices, Visa has abused its monopolistic power to maintain high fees on debit transactions, and limit competition and innovation in debt markets," Nance said.
The analyst has a Buy rating on Visa with a $317 price target.
The DOJ is seeking to restore a competitive market to the space, the analyst added.
"We believe this litigation is likely to be an overhang for near-term performance, particularly as the scope of the lawsuit is broader than we expected."
The analyst said the financial implications could be a 1.8% impact on earnings per share for every 5% loss in U.S. debit market share.

JPMorgan on Visa: The DOJ antitrust lawsuit against Visa could take years to be completed, and will likely hurt the stock in the near-term, JPMorgan analyst Tien-tsin Huang said.
"The DOJ is arguing that Visa's contracts and pricing structure prevent other networks (including Mastercard, FI's STAR/Accel, FIS's NYCE, etc.) as well as ‘fintech debit networks' (Apple, Block and PayPal) from competing on a level playing field," Huang said.
The analyst said the lawsuit is complicated but the items covered aren't too surprising as they are common practices in the payments sector.
"We suspect a resolution here will be multiple years in the making given historical precedent but wouldn't be surprised to see some ongoing weight on Visa's shares near-term given, on the margin, regulatory attention likely pressure pricing power."
The analyst has an Overweight rating on Visa with a $320 price target.
Huang said the lawsuit could provide overhang benefits to Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>), Fiserv Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>) and Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>).
"We reiterate our preference for top-pick Mastercard, but note that Vis has effectively navigated various regulatory headwinds both domestically and overseas."
The analyst said Fiserve and Fidelity National Information Services could benefit from measures taken in the debit market, while Mastercard could benefit given its lower market share in debit (25% vs. Visa's 60%) and actions taken to make the two companies more competitive.
"Visa being the largest domestic payment company, sitting at the center of transactions between multiple parties means it must delicately balance these dynamics while not overreaching competitively – a challenging task, and it falls to the court to decide what side of the line Visa falls on in this case."
 V Price Action: Visa stock is down 1.31% to $269.22 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $227.78 to $293.07. Visa stock is up 13% year-to-date in 2024.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Fiserv 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Fiserv's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>) short percent of float has risen 12.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 7.78 million shares sold short, which is 1.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.25 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Fiserv Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1725300019_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fiserv has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Fiserv's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fiserv's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.85%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
