On August 4, Fidelity National Information fell 7.08% in pre-market trading, trading at $41.89/share, with turnover of $568,900. The decline was triggered by the company's Q2 earnings release and a downward revision to full-year profit guidance.
The company reported Q2 adjusted net income of $763 million, slightly missing the IBES consensus estimate of $766.1 million. More critically, Fidelity National Information lowered its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $6.15-$6.24, down from the prior range of $6.22-$6.32, and below the FactSet consensus estimate of $6.28. The guidance cut signals growing headwinds to near-term profitability and has weighed heavily on investor sentiment.
Notably, multiple analysts had already trimmed their price targets on the stock in recent months, with Goldman Sachs cutting to $53 from $57, Keefe Bruyette & Woods to $60 from $65, and BNP Paribas maintaining an Underperform rating with a $37 target. The average analyst price target stood at $55.68 prior to this report.
