Why Is FIDELITY NATL INFORM (FIS) Stock Down Today?

Fidelity National Information Services shares fell 22.83% to $30.09, marking a sharp decline following the company's decision to lower its full-year revenue outlook. The payment processing firm also announced a leadership transition, with CFO James Kehoe stepping down effective November 5.

What Happened

The stock price drop followed the release of third-quarter 2026 financial results, where adjusted earnings per share of $1.61 slightly exceeded the $1.60 estimate. Revenue of $3.454 billion also beat the $3.432 billion consensus. Despite these positive quarterly figures, management lowered its full-year outlook, prompting a reassessment of the company's trajectory.

Simultaneously, FIS disclosed that James Kehoe would step down as Chief Financial Officer. Alexandra Brooks has been appointed as the interim CFO. JPMorgan downgraded the stock to Neutral from Overweight in response to the guidance cut. The company’s dividend sustainability has become a focal point for analysts, given the significant price adjustment.
