Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Fiserv stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Fiserv has outperformed the S&P 500 index on a year-to-date basis. Meanwhile, estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company's Q2 earnings release. The company has positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. We note that the company has a leading position in the financial and payments solutions business along with broad and diverse customer base, strong product portfolio and high recurring revenues. We believe that these along with new customer win will  drive future growth for the company. The company is also expected to benefit from its five year cost cutting program. Nonetheless, we continue to be wary of stricter regulations in the banking/financial services industry and stiff competition." (7/19/2017)
• 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "FISV remains focused on drivers of incremental growth, which are off to a slower start than expected, which management attributes to timing. The drivers and their adoption rate are Agiliti (Low Adoption), Mobiliti (Moderate), DNA (High), EMV (High), Now Network (Moderate), and Integrated Payments (Low). These growth drivers are expected to add 25-40bps to annual revenue growth in 2017, 30-60bps in 2018, and 40-70bps in 2019." (6/20/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "FISV's Q4 earnings were soft on revs (hurt by an unexpected miss in International). Slightly lower operating margins than our model were offset by a lower share count, which drove in-line Q4 EPS. We believe F17 organic revenue guidance of 4.0%-5.0% growth is somewhat conservative, and we like the solid FY EPS guidance (ie, $5.10 at the midpoint vs. Street at $4.97; though helped quite a bit by a lower ongoing tax rate). Maintain Buy." (2/9/2017)
