FI’s earnings surprise history has been decent. It has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and matched in one, the average surprise being 1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $4.6 billion, suggesting 6.4% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. The rise is likely to have been driven by a strong distribution network, diverse client base and product portfolio.
Our estimate for Processing and Services revenues is pegged at $4 billion, indicating 9.1% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual. We anticipate revenues from the Product segment to be $888.9 million, indicating 1.7% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
We expect Merchant Acceptance and Financial Technology revenues to grow 6.7% and 15% year over year to $2 billion and $911.2 million, respectively. The estimate for adjusted Payment and Network is pegged at $1.6 billion, indicating a 3.9% decline from that reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus estimate for EPS is pegged at $1.8, up 12% year over year. The rise is likely to have resulted from a strong revenue performance and efficiencies driven by technology.
