Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) delivered a solid Q2 in 2026, even as the stock sits well below where it traded a year ago.
- Revenue came in at $3.4 billion, up 5.3% on a pro forma basis.
- Banking grew 6.1%, hitting the high end of guidance,
- Capital Markets grew more slowly, up 3.2%.
- Adjusted EBITDA rose 7.4%, and margins expanded by 113 basis points.
- Adjusted EPS grew 9%, near the top of the company’s range.
- Free cash flow was the standout number, more than tripled year over year to $525 million.
- That strength let management raise its full-year free cash flow outlook by $100 million to $2.2 billion.
Despite all this, FIS trades around $42, down sharply from where it stood a year ago.
Investors seem focused on the company’s Capital Markets stumble rather than the progress elsewhere.

What the Model Says for Fidelity National Information Services Stock
We looked at FIS through the lens of its ongoing transformation: a stronger Banking and Payments engine, a Total Issuing Solutions (TSYS) deal that’s compounding faster than expected, and an early but real push into AI.
The Total Issuing acquisition is playing out well. FIS has renewed about a third of that revenue since 2025, with 72% of the portfolio now locked in through 2029 or later.
Enterprise-wide sales sold jointly across both businesses grew 35% year-over-year in the first half.
The company’s AI partnership with Anthropic is also moving from planning into actual products, particularly in fraud detection and anti-money laundering tools.
Management pointed to more than 40,000 employees now using internal AI copilots, generating over 16 million assisted actions.
The drag comes from Capital Markets, where an unexpected attrition hit tied to the UBS-Credit Suisse merger, plus weaker lending volumes, forced FIS to cut its growth outlook for that segment.
Management is now reviewing whether some underperforming Capital Markets products even belong in the portfolio going forward.

Our Valuation Assumptions
TIKR’s Valuation Model lets you plug in your own assumptions for a company’s revenue growth, operating margins, and P/E multiple, and calculates the stock’s expected returns.
Here’s what we used for FIS stock:
1. Revenue Growth: 10.6%
FIS revenue grew just 5.4% over the past year and has stayed nearly flat over the last three and five years.
But the business looks different today, with Banking, Payments, and TSYS all pulling in the same direction and cross-selling driving nearly double the revenue per client relationship.
2. Operating margins: 19.6%
Margins have expanded steadily, helped by cost savings and integration synergies from the TSYS deal.
Management has guided to 85-105 basis points of margin expansion for the full year, and expects more room to run as AI adoption reduces manual work.
3. Exit P/E Multiple: 6.5x
FIS currently trades at 8.5x forward earnings, well below its three-year average of 12x and five-year average of 12.1x.
Our model assumes further compression to 6.5x, reflecting lingering uncertainty around Capital Markets rather than any fresh setback.
Together, these assumptions point to a target price of $52.37 by the end of 2028, a 25% total return, or about 10.1% annualized.

What Happens If Things Go Better or Worse?
Companies mid-transformation rarely move in a straight line. Here’s how FIS stock might perform through 2030 under different scenarios:
- Low Case: If revenue growth slows to 7.7% and net income margins settle at 21.8%, investors still see a 19.0% total return, or 4.1% annually.
- Mid Case: With 8.5% growth and 23.9% margins, the stock could deliver a 52.1% total return, or 10.2% annually.
- High Case: If Capital Markets stabilizes faster than expected and AI products scale, revenue growth could reach 9.4% and margins 25.8%, pushing total return to 88.2%, or 15.7% annually.

The spread between these scenarios largely comes down to one thing: how quickly Capital Markets recovers, and whether the AI investments start showing up meaningfully in the numbers.
