Fidelity National Info ( (FIS) ) has issued an update.

On January 9, 2026, FIS completed the acquisition of Global Payments’ Issuer Solutions business, formerly TSYS, and simultaneously sold its remaining 45% minority stake in merchant acquirer Worldpay to Global Payments, transactions originally agreed in April 2025. The Issuer Solutions unit, valued at $13.5 billion on an enterprise basis, was acquired in exchange for FIS’s Worldpay interest plus about $7.7 billion in cash, while Worldpay was valued at $24.25 billion, with customary post-closing price adjustments applying to both assets. The deal, formally announced via press release on January 12, 2026, transforms FIS into a scaled fintech leader in issuer processing, consolidating what it describes as the world’s largest issuing business under the new FIS Total Issuing Solutions brand, processing more than 40 billion transactions annually for over 150 financial institutions and corporates in more than 75 countries. By replacing a non-cash-generating minority equity stake with high-margin recurring revenue, a broader suite in credit processing, fraud, loyalty and value-added services, and a far larger addressable issuer market of roughly $28 billion, FIS expects the transaction to strengthen its financial profile, create robust revenue and cost synergies and add an estimated $500 million in incremental adjusted free cash flow in 2026, rising to $700 million by 2028.

The most recent analyst rating on (FIS) stock is a Buy with a $90.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Fidelity National Info stock, see the FIS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on FIS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, FIS is a Neutral.

Fidelity National Info’s overall stock score is driven by strong earnings call results and stable financial performance. However, technical indicators suggest a bearish trend, and the high P/E ratio raises valuation concerns. The company’s strategic investments and improved cash flow generation are positive, but profitability and market momentum need improvement.
