Fiserv’s Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is expected to rise 10.2% from the same quarter last year to $5.4 billion.
We anticipate Merchant Solutions to generate $3 billion in revenues, indicating 20% year-over-year growth. Growth of Clover is likely to have been the primary mover of this segment’s revenues. We are pretty bullish on Fiserv’s newly launched Commerce Hub plug-in, built on Adobe Commerce, to have benefited this segment as well.
Our estimate for revenues from Financial Solutions is $2.6 billion, hinting at a 6.3% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Higher demand for real-time payments and surging transaction volumes of STAR and ACCEL debit networks are expected to have supported this segment.
We have anticipated $4.7 billion in revenues generated from Processing and Services, indicating a 10% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual. For the Product segment revenues, our expectation is $1.2 billion, implying a 20.5% year-over-year surge.
The consensus estimate for EPS is pegged at $2.66, indicating a 15.7% year-over-year increase.
