AI Insight: FISV Financial Trends

Operating income collapsed to $918M in Q1 2026 — the weakest in the dataset — while total debt remains elevated near $30.5B, pressuring the equity base.

Revenue grew modestly from $5,107M in Q2 2024 to a peak of $5,516M in Q2 2025, but has since slipped to $5,027M in Q1 2026.

Operating income deteriorated sharply, falling from $1,696M in Q2 2025 to $918M in Q1 2026, the lowest level across all eight quarters.

Total debt surged from $24,840M in Q4 2024 to $31,522M by Q3 2025, and remains at $30,505M in Q1 2026, while equity has eroded from $28,154M to $26,201M.

Operating cash flow in Q1 2026 dropped to $599M, matching the lowest single-quarter reading in the table, consistent with Q1 2025's $648M seasonal trough.

Operating margin compression in Q1 2026 is severe — $918M op income on $5,027M revenue is the weakest margin in the dataset; durability is key to monitor.

Debt rose $5.7B from Q4 2024 to Q3 2025 while equity contracted $2B — leverage trajectory warrants close attention if FCF generation remains subdued.

Net income of $571M in Q1 2026 is the lowest in eight quarters; confirm whether one-time charges or structural cost pressures are the driver.

AI Insight: FISV Ratio Trends

Q1 2026 marks a sharp multi-metric deterioration — operating margin collapsed to 18.3% and ROIC fell to 6.5%, both the weakest readings in the dataset.

Operating margin dropped from 24.4% in Q4 2025 to 18.3% in Q1 2026, the lowest level across all periods shown.

ROIC contracted to 6.5% in Q1 2026 from a cycle peak of 12.8% in Q4 2024, a 6.3pp decline over five quarters.

Net profit margin fell to 11.4% in Q1 2026, down from 18.6% in Q2 2025, erasing prior profitability gains.

D/E ratio has risen from 0.92 in Q4 2024 to 1.16 in Q1 2026, reflecting increasing leverage over the period.

Q1 seasonality may partially explain weakness — Q1 2025 also saw OpMargin dip to 27.2% — but Q1 2026 at 18.3% is far steeper.

D/E peaked at 1.25 in Q3 2025 and remains elevated at 1.16; further leverage expansion would pressure financial flexibility.

ROA dropped to 2.8% in Q1 2026, matching Q3 2024's trough — watch whether Q2 2026 recovers toward the 4–5% range.
