Did FIS Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
No. Fidelity National Information Services reported Q4 2025 earnings of $1.68 a share on Feb 24, 2026, missing the $1.69 consensus estimate by 0.5%. Revenue was $2.8B against a $2.7B estimate.
Fidelity National Information Services delivered a headline-grabbing fourth quarter, matching the Street's $1.68 adjusted EPS consensus exactly while blowing past revenue expectations by 11.67%, with sales climbing 8.2% year-over-year to $2.81 billion against a consensus of $2.52 billion. The standout driver was broad-based segment strength, with Banking Solutions revenue rising 9% to $1.87 billion and Capital Market Solutions up 8% to $883 million, the latter expanding Adjusted EBITDA margins by 227 basis points to 57.4% on favorable revenue mix and operating leverage. A transformative strategic pivot added further dimension to the print, as FIS closed its acquisition of the Issuer Solutions Business in early January 2026 while simultaneously exiting its remaining 45% Worldpay stake, a move management says positions the company to hold the most comprehensive financial data set spanning the entire money lifecycle. Looking ahead, FIS projects 2026 adjusted revenue growth of 30-31% and Adjusted EPS growth of 8-10%, though the company plans to temporarily pause <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/02/19/citigroup-vs-wells-fargo-which-wins-on-dividends-buybacks-interest-rate-exposure/">share repurchases and capital returns</a> to accelerate deleveraging toward a 2.8x gross leverage target.
