Adjusted EPS came in at $2.04, well below the $2.72 consensus estimate. Revenue landed at $5.26 billion against an expected $5.52 billion. The miss was broad-based, with Merchant Solutions delivering $2.59 billion in revenue (up 5% year over year) while Financial Solutions contracted 3% to $2.33 billion. That segment weakness is the real concern here. Financial Solutions represents a meaningful portion of the business, and a year-over-year decline signals headwinds in areas where Fiserv has historically driven consistent growth.
