NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 18:16 ET — Market closed
- Fiserv ended the last trading session of 2025 slightly lower as U.S. stocks finished the year on a down note.
- Tigress Financial cut its price target on Fiserv while keeping a buy rating.
- Investors face a Jan. 5 deadline tied to lead-plaintiff bids in a securities class-action case, law firms said.
Fiserv shares closed down 0.55% at $67.17 on Wednesday, the final trading day of 2025, after Tigress Financial cut its price target to $95 from $250 while keeping a buy rating. 1
The move matters because Fiserv is trying to steady investor confidence after a bruising year that forced analysts to reset expectations for the payments and financial-technology company. 2
Fiserv finished 2025 down 67%, putting it among the S&P 500’s biggest laggards and leaving investors focused on the next clear marker for execution and guidance. 3
Wall Street ended 2025’s final session lower in holiday-thin trading, with the S&P 500 down 0.74% and the Nasdaq off 0.76% on Wednesday, a backdrop that kept risk appetite muted into year-end positioning. 4
Payments and fintech names also weakened in the late-year drift, with PayPal and Fidelity National Information Services down 1.22% and 1.06%, respectively, on Wednesday as Fiserv slipped 0.55%. 5
In its note, Tigress analyst Ivan Feinseth described the post–third-quarter “projection reset” and pullback as “a compelling opportunity to buy.” A price target is an analyst’s estimate of where the stock could trade over the next year, often used as a shorthand for expected upside or downside. 2
Separately, law firm Kirby McInerney said investors have until January 5, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff — the investor who represents the class — in a pending federal securities class action tied to Fiserv. 6
Fiserv has been under pressure since late October, when the company cut its annual growth forecast after results missed estimates, triggering a sharp selloff and a wave of downgrades. 7
The company also outlined leadership changes and a board refresh during that period, including the appointment of Paul Todd as chief financial officer and incoming board changes effective January 1, 2026. 8
Before next session, traders will be watching whether Thursday’s holiday break leads to any follow-through in the stock when U.S. markets reopen Friday, and whether more sell-side target revisions land after the Tigress move.
The next major company-specific catalyst is the fourth-quarter earnings report and any fresh outlook for 2026. Market calendars list early February as the expected window, while Fiserv’s investor events page has not posted an upcoming earnings date. 9
Technically, the stock is hovering in the high-$60s and remains sensitive to headline risk after last year’s collapse. Investors will likely key on whether shares can reclaim the $70 level, while any renewed volatility around legal or guidance headlines could put last year’s lows back in focus.
