The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is $4.8 billion, relative to the year-ago quarter’s $4.9 billion. The consensus mark suggests a 1.6% fall from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The consensus estimate for merchant solutions revenues is pinned at $2.6 billion, hinting at a marginal dip from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Economic setback in Argentina is anticipated to have pressured this segment.
Other factors that are likely to have resulted in the decline include lower hardware sales and sloppy enterprise client implementations. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for merchant solutions operating income is $789.4 million against the year-ago quarter’s $962 million. It marks an 18% year-over-year plunge.
For financial solutions, the consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $2.3 billion, suggesting a 3.5% year-over-year decline. This deterioration is anticipated to have stemmed from rising non-recurring revenues. Sustained customer attrition in core banking, slower newly contracted business implementation and delays in enterprise client onboarding are factors that are likely to have led to this segment’s decline.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the financial solutions segment’s operating income is pegged at $833.8 million, while it registered $962 million in the year-ago quarter. This underscores a significant 15.9% year-over-year slide from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
The consensus estimate for earnings is pinned at $1.72 per share, suggesting a 15.7% year-over-year nose dive from the year-ago quarter’s actual of $2.04. Declining top line, elevated technology investments and operating margin contraction are anticipated to have affected the bottom line.
