For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. provides banking and payments technology solutions, processing services and information-based services to the financial services industry. The company came into existence, following the merger with Certegy Inc., a provider of credit cards, debit cards, other transaction processing and check risk management services to financial institutions in 2006.
FIS is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of B. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 12.2X for the current fiscal year compared to the Financial Transaction Services industry's P/E of 14.9X. Additionally, FIS has a PEG Ratio of 1.2 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 8.1X. Value investors should also note FIS' Price/Sales ratio of 3.7X.
Many value investors pay close attention to a company's earnings as well. For FIS, four analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.02 to $5.74 per share for 2025. Per share FIS boasts an average earnings surprise of 9.4%.
With strong valuation and earnings metrics, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, investors should strongly think about adding FIS to their portfolios.
