Is Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) A Bargain After Its Kredittbanken Cloud Win?
Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) secured a new client, Kredittbanken ASA, for its PRIME in the Cloud platform. Despite this win, FIS's share price has fallen 22.6% in the past month and 50.6% year-to-date. Analysts estimate fair value at $49.67, significantly higher than its last close at $32.44. The company aims to grow GAAP free cash flow to over $3b by 2028, but market skepticism persists.
