Jefferies Reiterates Buy on Fiserv Inc (FISV) Following 4Q Report

Jefferies reiterated a Buy rating and $127.00 price target on Fiserv Inc (NASDAQ: FISV) following the company's 4Q earnings report. FISV's Q4 results included revenues of $1,431M, which came in ~2.2% below Street at $1,463M.

Analyst Ramsey El-Assal commented, "FISV's Q4 earnings were soft on revs (hurt by an unexpected miss in International). Slightly lower operating margins than our model were offset by a lower share count, which drove in-line Q4 EPS. We believe F17 organic revenue guidance of 4.0%-5.0% growth is somewhat conservative, and we like the solid FY EPS guidance (ie, $5.10 at the midpoint vs. Street at $4.97; though helped quite a bit by a lower ongoing tax rate). Maintain Buy."
