February 05, 2025 at 09:01 am ESTFeb 5 (Reuters) – Payments firm Fiserv on
Wednesday beat Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter profit,
helped by strong demand in its banking and payments processing
unit, sending its shares up 3.2% in premarket trade.
Consumer spending remained robust in the reported quarter,
fueled by the Federal Reserve’s rate-cut cycle and hopes of a
soft landing for the economy, where inflation falls without
triggering a recession or significant job losses.
The Wisconsin-based company collects fees from merchants,
banks and credit unions for processing transactions. Such fees
are determined by consumer spending volumes.
Processing and services revenue, which makes up more than
four-fifths of Fiserv’s revenue, rose 5.8% to $4.26 billion in
the quarter.
Total revenue jumped 6.8% to $5.25 billion in the quarter,
compared with analysts’ estimates of $4.96 billion, as per data
compiled by LSEG.
On an adjusted basis, Fiserv earned $1.44 billion, or $2.51
per share for the quarter ended in Dec. 31, compared with $1.32
billion or $2.19 per share in the year-ago period.
Analysts were expecting a profit of $2.48 per share for the
quarter.
The company also said it expects adjusted profit between
$10.10 and $10.30 per share in 2025, compared with analysts’
estimates of $10.21 apiece. Fiserv also expects organic revenue
growth in the range of 10% to 12% in 2025.
Shares of Fiserv gained 54.6% in 2024, compared with a 34.5%
rise for peer FIS in the corresponding period.
