FIS Screens Cheap in 5 of 6 Tests as Stock Trades at 6.3x Earnings

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 22

Fidelity National Information Services now looks undervalued on 5 of 6 valuation checks, with the latest screen arguing the shares are cheap rather than fully priced.
At about 6.3x earnings, FIS trades well below its industry average near 17.9x, its peer group near 31.9x, and a modeled fair P/E of roughly 9.3x.
That discount follows a brutal 63.6% five-year share-price decline, leaving investors to judge whether the low multiple reflects opportunity or still-unresolved business risks.
Recent treasury-software recognition and product launches support the franchise, but the troubled Worldpay acquisition and ongoing restructuring remain key threats to margins, earnings quality and future cash generation.
