Revenue Growth
Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Regrettably, Fiserv’s revenue grew at a mediocre 6.2% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This was below our standard for the financials sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Fiserv’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its annualized revenue growth of 3.4% over the last two years was below its five-year trend. We’re wary when companies in the sector see decelerations in revenue growth, as it could signal changing consumer tastes aided by low switching costs. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
Fiserv also reports organic revenue, which strips out one-time events like acquisitions and currency fluctuations that don’t accurately reflect its fundamentals. Over the last three years, Fiserv’s organic revenue averaged 8.3% year-on-year growth. It also grew on a two-year basis, but at a slower pace of 5.6%. Because this shorter-term number is better than its two-year revenue growth, we can see that some mixture of divestitures and foreign exchange rates dampened its headline results. 
This quarter, Fiserv reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 1.8% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 4.9%.

Key Takeaways from Fiserv’s Q2 Results
We enjoyed seeing Fiserv beat analysts’ revenue expectations this quarter. On the other hand, its full-year EPS guidance missed and its EPS fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this was a softer quarter. The stock traded down 9.7% to $48.88 immediately following the results.
Fiserv didn’t show its best hand this quarter, but does that create an opportunity to buy the stock right now?
