Fiserv reduced its adjusted earnings outlook to $7.20-$7.40 from $8.00-$8.30, citing flat to negative revenue growth.

Fiserv lowered its 2026 financial outlook, projecting adjusted earnings of $7.20 to $7.40 per share, down from a prior forecast of $8.00 to $8.30. The company now expects revenue to remain flat or decline by 1%, compared to earlier guidance of 1% to 3% organic growth.

The revised outlook follows a period of market speculation about a potential sale of its debit card payment network, which had previously lifted shares. Analysts had suggested such a deal was unlikely, contributing to the stock’s decline.

Fiserv shares fell more than 7% in early trading Thursday, reflecting investor reaction to the downgraded guidance.
