TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We reiterate FISV, an international e-payment processor, as a TOP PICK. It trades at 2.1x book and has managed to grow its cash reserves while aggressively buying back stock. Recently reported earnings were up 11% over the year and revenues of $4.2 billion beat analyst expectations. We recommend trailing up the stop loss (from $84.50) to $87.00, looking to achieve $123 -- upside potential over 22%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $122.76)

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly We again reiterate this Milwaukee based financial services company, with 10,000 merchant company customers as a TOP PICK.

BUY

Strong fintech business.
Good long term hold.
Steady growth and high earnings predictability.
Good share price right now.

SELL

Record high.

Better than it used to be, spinout makes a lot of sense. But at the end of the day, servicing an end market that's not growing and they're trying to sell more into it. Open to risk from other players that have pure-play solutions. More reasons to be negative than positive.

HOLD

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

Following the stock's pullback amid the CEO's departure, several analysts have increased their price targets on the company today, and we view this pullback as a good long-term buying opportunity. We continue to view the company as a high-quality name, and while there is increased uncertainty around its future given the CEO's departure, it has had four CEOs since 1984, all while its shares have generally traded up and to the right.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

With good growth expected and at 23X earnings, we think it looks good. The stock has done well over the past year and is up nicely in 2025. Note that leverage is fairly high and the Q1 may look weaker because of tough year over year comparisons as last year's Q1 was very strong. But we think it is fine overall assuming a decent holding period.
