Fiserv reports organic revenue growth in 2025 and sees more to come in 2026

Exceeding the $4.9 billion in revenue that analysts had anticipated, Fiserv reported Q4 2025 sales of $5.3 billion, a 1% year-over-year increase. With respect to profitability, Fiserv reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.99, surpassing analysts' expectations of $1.90.

In addition to addressing the company's recent performance, management provided guidance for 2026: organic revenue growth of 1% to 3% year over year and adjusted EPS of $8.00 to $8.30. For context, Fiserv had reported year-over-year revenue growth of 4% for 2025.

Investors believe this fintech stock is back on track

Following the company's October reporting of vastly disappointing third-quarter 2025 financial results, Fiserv stock plunged, resulting in a 67% decline in 2025. Today's Q4 2025 financial results presentation, however, suggests to investors that the One Fiserv strategic initiative to reposition the company for growth is a success.

While Fiserv's news today is encouraging, prudent investors will want to wait for further evidence that the company is back in growth mode -- whether that's seen in its presentation at its Investor Day event in May or in subsequent quarterly financial results presentations. In the meantime, those eager for exposure to the industry have plenty of other fintech stocks to consider.
