Oppenheimer cuts Fiserv stock price target to $91 after earnings miss

Investing.com - Oppenheimer lowered its price target on Fiserv (NYSE:FI) to $91.00 from $178.00 on Thursday, while maintaining an Outperform rating following the company’s third-quarter earnings miss. The stock currently trades at $69.20, down sharply from its previous close of $126.17, with InvestingPro data showing a 43% plunge over the past week.

Fiserv significantly underperformed expectations in the third quarter of 2025 and reduced its financial outlook for the year, prompting the substantial 49% reduction in Oppenheimer’s price target. InvestingPro data reveals that 7 analysts have revised their earnings downwards for the upcoming period, reflecting widespread concerns about the company’s near-term prospects.

The financial technology company announced a major leadership reorganization, appointing Takis Georgakopoulos and Dhivya Suryadevara as Co-Presidents and Paul Todd as CFO.

Management attributed the disappointing results to several factors, including slowing cyclical growth in Argentina, overly optimistic assumptions in previous guidance, deferred investments, and de-prioritization of certain initiatives.

Despite the setback, Oppenheimer maintained its Outperform rating, noting that with shares down by double digits and expectations reset, Fiserv’s valuation at 9x reduced 2026 EPS estimates offers upside potential, particularly with Clover still growing volume at high-single to low-double-digit rates.
