Fidelity National Info (NYSE:FIS) Stock

Fidelity National Info

Fidelity National Information Services provides core processing and ancillary services to banks, but its business has expanded over time. By acquiring SunGard in 2015, the company now provides record-keeping and other services to investment firms. With the acquisition of Worldpay in 2019, FIS was providing payment processing services for merchants and holding leading positions in the United States and United Kingdom. But the company sold off a majority interest in Worldpay and now has only a minority stake.

Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>) on Thursday unveiled two strategic moves—acquiring Global Payments&#8217; Issuer Solutions unit and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/b44859301/fis-announces-sale-of-worldpay-stake-and-strategic-acquisition-of-global-payments-issuer-solutions" rel="noreferrer noopener">selling its remaining stake in Worldpay.</a>
What Happened: The Jacksonville, Florida-based firm agreed to purchase Global Payments&#8217; Issuer Solutions arm in a transaction valued at $13.5 billion. The deal includes $1.5 billion in projected tax-related benefits, resulting in a net outlay of $12 billion.
Simultaneously, Fidelity National will offload its 45% stake in Worldpay to Global Payments for $6.6 billion in pre-tax proceeds.
Fidelity National CEO Stephanie Ferris described the acquisition as a &#8220;high-margin&#8221; growth opportunity.

Why It Matters: The Issuer Solutions platform processes over 40 billion transactions annually, serving clients across more than 75 countries.
It is expected to bolster Fidelity National&#8217;s existing suite of services in debit and banking infrastructure. It could also broaden access to a $28 billion global issuer market—including $15 billion in the U.S. alone.
&#8220;Issuer Solutions&#8217; globally scaled credit processing capabilities are highly complementary to FIS&#8217; established debit processing capabilities, strengthening our broader banking and capital markets offering,&#8221; Ferris said.
Separately, GTCR—which acquired a 55% majority stake in Worldpay from Fidelity National in 2023—will now sell the payments<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44859362/gtcr-announces-sale-of-worldpay-to-global-payments-for-24-25-billion-in-conjunction-with-transform" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> firm to Global Payments for $24.25 billion.</a> The private equity firm will receive 59% cash and 41% stock consideration as part of the Worldpay transaction.
Upon closing, GTCR will own shares representing 15% of Global Payments&#8217; outstanding shares.
CEO Charles Drucker will continue to lead the Worldpay team through the transition and future integration.
What&#8217;s Next: Fidelity National intends to finance the acquisition with $8 billion in new debt alongside proceeds from the Worldpay sale.
The purchase price for Issuer Solutions reflects a valuation of approximately 9 times expected 2025 EBITDA. The Worldpay sale to Global Payments stands at about 10.5 times expected 2025 EBITDA.
These two interlinked transactions are expected to close in the first half of 2026.
Following completion, Fidelity National plans to momentarily pause share repurchases and M&amp;A activity to prioritize reducing its debt.
1Q 2025&nbsp;Update
Fidelity National will release official earnings release scheduled for May 6. The company said it reported total preliminary revenue of about $2.5 billion versus the estimate of $2.57 billion. The <a href="https://www.investor.fisglobal.com/news-releases/news-release-details/fis-reports-full-year-2024-results-and-2025-outlook-confirms#:~:text=Full%2DYear%202024%20Financial%20Results&amp;text=approximately%20%2410.1%20billion.-,GAAP%20net%20earnings%20attributable%20to%20common%20stockholders%20from%20continuing%20operations,by%204%25%20recurring%20revenue%20growth." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">prior view</a> was $2.485 billion- $2.51 billion. This reflected adjusted and recurring revenue growth of around 4%.
Adjusted EBITDA came in at roughly $958 million, while adjusted earnings per share stood at approximately $1.21 versus the analyst consensus estimate of $1.28 (prior view: $1.17&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;$1.22).
Price Action: FIS shares are trading lower by 0.93% to $68.00 premarket at last check Thursday. GPN shares are trading lower by 2.29% to $82.19.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fidelity National Info 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 Fidelity National Info'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fidelity National Info's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.68%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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>Comparing Fidelity National Info'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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fidelity National Info's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.95%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Comparing Fidelity National Info P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Fidelity National Info has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 91.93 of the Financial Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740773733_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Fidelity National Info Through 12 Analysts

Shares of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>) are quiet Wednesday. This follows yesterday&#8217;s sell-off of 11.5%. The shares closed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43671119/analysts-lower-price-forecasts-for-fidelity-national-amid-banking-revenue-miss-details">around the $73 level</a>.
In financial markets, some price levels are more important for stocks than others and this is the case with the $73 level for Fidelity National. This is why it is our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
This level was resistance for the stock in March and April 2024. There was a large amount of sell interest at this level. Every time the stock rallied to it, the sellers overpowered the buyers and pushed the shares lower.
But in May 2024, the buyers finally took out the resistance and the price moved higher. When this happened, many who sold regretted their decision to do so and decided to buy their shares back if they could at the same price they were sold for.
So, when the stock returned to this level in June 2024, they placed buy orders. And there were so many of these orders, that it created support.

Seller's remorse can turn price levels that had been resistance into support. This happens if there are enough remorseful sellers placing buy orders at the price that had previously been resistance.
The same type of price action occurred at the $77.50 level. It was resistance from June 2024 through August 2024. Then it converted into a support level in January 2025.
Seller's remorse can also keep support levels intact for an extended period of time.
The $67.50 level was support in March 2024. Then it became support again in May 2024.
This happened because a number of the traders and investors who sold in March came to regret doing so when the price rallied soon after. Some decided that if they can buy their shares back at the same price they were sold for, they would.
When the stock returned to this level in May, they placed buy orders. And there were so many that it created support at the same price that had been support before.
As you can see on the chart below, yesterday's massive selloff came to an end when Fidelity National reached levels around $67.50. This wasn't a coincidence. It's an example of a stock finding support at a price level that had been support in the past.

The best traders know that some price levels are more important than others. This allowed them to profit on yesterday's selloff because they could sense where the stock would find a bottom. If a stock is in decline, there is a good chance it will at a price that had previously been support or resistance.
