FI’s earnings surprise history has been decent. It has outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing quarters, the average surprise being 2.9%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $4.9 billion, suggesting a 7.2% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual.

We anticipate Financial Solutions revenues to increase 6.3% to $2.4 billion from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Revenues from Target and Verizon in issuing, embedded finance with DoorDash, multiple Finxact clients, XD migrations and early adopters of CashFlow central are expected to have fueled this segment’s revenues.
Revenues from Merchant Solutions are expected to be $2.5 billion, growing 12.7% year over year. We expected strong growth in Clover to have improved this segment’s revenues. The estimate for Corporate and other revenues is pegged at $330 million, implying a 4.3% fall from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Our estimate for Processing and Services revenues is $4.3 billion, indicating 7.7% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Our estimate for revenues from the Product segment is pegged at $988.5 million, suggesting an 11.9% increase on a year-over-year basis.
