Fiserv, Inc.
FISV
is scheduled to report
second-quarter 2022
results on Jul 26, before the opening bell.
Let’s check out how things have shaped up for Fiserv prior to the announcement:
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.07 billion, indicating growth of 5.5% from the year-ago period’s reported figure. Strength across all segments — Merchant Acceptance, FinTech, and Payments and Network — is likely to have boosted FISV’s top-line growth.
Segment wise, growth in the Merchant Acceptance segment is expected to have been aided by strength across Fiserv’s SMB, Clover and Carat platforms, and the suite of ISV Solutions.
The FinTech segment is expected to have been aided by growing demand for digital banking and digital solution offerings, as well as strength from the addition of core account-processing clients.
The Payments and Network segment is likely to have been aided by strength in FISV’s card services, output solutions and prepaid businesses, including the benefit from debit transactions and growth in Zelle transactions. Solid transaction growth in Fiserv’s account-to-account transfers and P2P solutions is expected to have acted as a tailwind.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Fiserv’s second-quarter 2022 earnings is pegged at $1.55 per share, indicating growth of 13.1% year-over-year.
