Fiserv’s Billion-Dollar Buying Spree: Can These Acquisitions Turbocharge Growth?

Fiserv Inc. confronted a challenging third quarter in 2025, prompting a strategic reset and realignment of future objectives. During the quarter, Fiserv reported total organic revenue growth of just 1%, and an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.04, exhibiting an 11% decline compared to the previous year’s $2.30. Despite the hurdles, the leadership identified areas of growth potential within its business. The company’s lower-than-expected financial performance was attributed to a combination of slowing business in Argentina, where cyclical growth had previously buoyed organic revenue, and a necessary recalibration of earlier optimistic projections concerning non-Argentinian operations. Argentina alone accounted for a substantial portion of revenue growth in prior years, but its contributions are normalizing, necessitating a shift in focus to the company’s other sectors.
