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.
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.
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.
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.
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%.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
