Read MoreHide Full Article
Fiserv, Inc. is scheduled to report third-quarter 2019 results on Nov 6, after market close.
While the company’s top line is likely to have benefited from solid segmental performance, the bottom line is expected to have been driven by revenue growth and operational effectiveness.

Going by segments, the consensus estimate for Payments and Industry Products revenues is pegged at $923 million, indicating growth of 9.4% from the prior-year quarter reported figure. The segment is likely to have gained from solid performance of card services, electronic payments and output solutions businesses.
The consensus mark for Financial Institution Services revenues is pegged at $606 million, indicating 5.6% increase from the year-ago quarter reported figure. The segment is likely to have been driven by the company’s account and item processing businesses.

In second-quarter 2019, adjusted earnings per share of 82 cents increased 9% year over year.
