Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Financials is in steady. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.

View RiskFIS's growth trajectory relies on achieving adjusted revenue growth of 30-31% in 2026. Recent financial performance has weakened, dropping to the bottom half of its industry. Revenue grew 29% year over year, and the last quarter beat expectations. FIS trades at 6.3× P/E versus a peer median of 12.3×. The price reflects less growth than forecasted, indicating expectations look modest versus our view. A specific risk is the 18% probability of a miss on the next quarter's outlook. Peer multiples imply a price about 32% above where it trades. This read is provisional.
Trailing returns as of 2026-09-14. FIS is total return (includes dividends); the S&P 500 benchmark is price return (the index excludes dividends).

A consensus fair price across 14 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-09-14. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.

Below average on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
