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

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Fiserv's financial and payment solutions business is backed by a broad customer base, expanding product portfolio and key contract wins. Product-oriented acquisitions are also leading to a steady flow of customers. Investment in digital-oriented technologies is improving its competitiveness. The company is expected to benefit from its five year cost cutting program. Estimates have also been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q3 earnings release. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. However, we continue to be wary of stricter regulations in the banking/financial services industry, stiff competition and its highly leveraged balance sheet. Notably, the company has underperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis." (10/16/2017)
• 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)
