Keefe, Bruyette & Woods lowers Fiserv stock price target on weak outlook

Investing.com - Keefe, Bruyette & Woods lowered its price target on Fiserv (NYSE:FI) to $170.00 from $200.00 on Friday, while maintaining an Outperform rating on the financial technology company.

The price target reduction follows Fiserv’s second-quarter 2025 earnings call, where management discussed factors behind weaker 2025 guidance, primarily driven by challenges in the Merchant segment and macroeconomic concerns.

Fiserv shares fell over 18% following the guidance adjustment, with InvestingPro data showing a steep 15.5% decline in the past week and a 32.9% drop over six months. The RSI indicates the stock is now in oversold territory, reflecting investor disappointment with the outlook change and weaker performance in the Merchant segment.

KBW noted that Fiserv will likely become a multi-quarter "show me" story rather than a shorter-term one, with few imminent catalysts for the shares, causing the stock to move lower in the firm’s priority ranking.

Despite these challenges, KBW highlighted that Clover metrics performed in line with expectations, and headwinds affecting the company this year should become tailwinds for 2026. Trading at a P/E of 23.5x, with analyst targets ranging from $125 to $250, the current discounted valuation makes shares attractive for long-term investors.
