<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 6.12%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Earnings Scheduled For May 6, 2025

Stocks in the U.S. were trading sharply lower by midday Monday, while gold and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged in tandem, as a renewed political storm surrounding Federal Reserve independence shook confidence in the U.S. dollar and triggered a broad-based risk-off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44899280/are-investors-selling-us-treasuries-as-trump-attacks-powell-heres-what-latest-etf-flows-tell-you">mood on U.S. assets.</a>
The market opened the post-Easter trading week with deep losses, after President Donald Trump took to Truth Social demanding immediate rate cuts and blasting Fed Chair Jerome Powell as "Mr. Too Late," accusing him of past political bias and inflation misjudgment. 
Trump wrote that there's "virtually no inflation" and warned of an economic slowdown unless Powell acts "NOW."
The latest barrage reignited fears that central bank independence may be under direct threat, just days after reports emerged that the Trump administration is weighing Powell's removal ahead of his scheduled 2026 term expiration.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) fell as much as 1%, marking its lowest level since early 2022, as the greenback weakened against a basket of major currencies including the Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. 
The selloff has intensified speculation that foreign investors may accelerate the repatriation of capital from U.S. assets amid mounting political and monetary instability.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped 2.8% by midday, with the Nasdaq 100 falling 3%, led lower by steep losses in megacap tech and financials. Every major sector was in the red, with 490 of the 500 S&amp;P 500 stocks trading lower.
In another break from historical norms, U.S. Treasury yields climbed even as equities tanked and volatility spiked. The 30-year yield rose 7 basis points to 4.87%, signaling investor selling of government debt. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) jumped 15%. 
Gold-linked equities were the few bright spots in an otherwise brutal session. Gold prices – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – surged 2.6% to $3,410 per ounce, pushing the year-to-date gain to nearly 30%—on track for the metal's best annual performance since 2007. 
The move extends gold's stunning 2-month rally, now nearing 20%, amid persistent demand for safe-haven assets.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) gained 3.5% to trade at $88,274, echoing gold's momentum as investors seek alternatives to fiat currencies.

Upgrades

Citigroup Upgrades Fidelity National Info to Buy, Raises Price Target to $86

Wall Street saw a rebound in risk appetite on Thursday ahead of the long Easter weekend, as President Donald Trump signaled positive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">momentum in trade negotiations.</a>
Speaking ahead of a scheduled meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Trump expressed strong confidence in reaching a trade agreement with the European Union. He also hinted at progress with China, stating, "We will make a good deal with China." 
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that trade talks with Japan are moving in a highly satisfactory direction.
By midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 had climbed 0.9%, while the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.5%, recouping some losses after a 3% slide on Wednesday. The Dow Jones, however, slipped 0.9%, weighed down by a sharp 23% plunge in UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) after the company slashed its full-year earnings forecast.
Energy stocks led the day&#8217;s gains, buoyed by rising oil prices. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) rallied 4.1%, while Chevron Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>) advanced 3.5%.
Gold prices retreated nearly 1% after a strong multi-day rally, pressured by a firmer U.S. dollar and rising Treasury yields. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed six basis points to 4.34%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) edged up 0.9% to $85,000.

uniQure, Hertz Global, Eli Lilly And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Thursday

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.
