of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 51 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 69 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as accelerating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.
Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

In the company’s own words
FIS is a financial technology company providing solutions to financial institutions, businesses and developers. We unlock financial technology to the world across the money lifecycle underpinning the world's financial systems. Our people are dedicated to advancing the way the world pays, banks and invests, by helping our clients to confidently run, grow and protect their businesses. Our expertise comes from decades of experience helping financial institutions and businesses of all sizes adapt to meet the needs of their customers by harnessing where reliability meets innovation in financial technology. Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, FIS is a member of the Fortune 500 and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. FIS is incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia as Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., and our stock is traded under the trading symbol "FIS" on the New York Stock Exchange.
Our growth continues to be driven by the expansion of our clients' businesses, our internal development of innovative solutions, our focused sales and marketing efforts and our deepening reach across global financial ecosystems. Strategic acquisitions and partnerships have further enhanced our offerings, diversified our client portfolio, and expanded our reach into new and attractive markets aligned with our long-term objectives. As we advance our transformation into a platform company, we are embedding artificial intelligence ("AI") across our solutions and operations. We have shifted to a functional operating model, streamlining decision-making, fostering closer collaboration across the organization and with our clients. By reallocating resources toward high-value, integrated client experiences and modernizing our technology infrastructure, we are strengthening our competitive position and operational resilience.
On January 31, 2024, we completed the sale (the "2024 Worldpay Sale") of a 55% equity interest in our Worldpay Merchant Solutions business to private equity funds managed by GTCR, LLC (such funds, the "Buyer"). FIS retained a non-controlling 45% equity interest in a new standalone joint venture, Worldpay Holdco, LLC ("Worldpay"), following the closing of the 2024 Worldpay Sale. In connection with the 2024 Worldpay Sale, FIS and Worldpay entered into commercial agreements, preserving a key value proposition for clients of both businesses and reducing potential dis-synergies. FIS and Worldpay also entered into additional agreements as described in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.
On April 17, 2025, FIS entered into definitive agreements to (i) buy the Issuer Solutions business (the "Issuer Solutions Business") from Global Payments Inc. ("Global Payments") ("the Issuer Solutions Acquisition") and (ii) sell its remaining equity interest in Worldpay to Global Payments (the "2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale"). The transaction closed on January 9, 2026. We funded the Issuer Solutions Acquisition through a combination of approximately $7.7 billion of new debt and the 2026 Worldpay Minority Interest Sale.
