What's Driving This Ratingfor FIS

✓

CapEx already efficient

CapEx at 3.53% of revenue is already at or below sector maintenance level. No normalization needed — cash conversion is already strong.

↑

Margin expansion modeled

Current EBIT margin is 13.55% — below the sector mature average of 25.00%. Model expands margins as the business scales and operating leverage kicks in. Year 10 EBIT reaches $3.0B (22.00% margin).

⚠

Analyst growth decelerates sharply

Revenue growth drops from 22.58% in Year 1 to 3.75% by Year 5 (per analyst consensus). This growth deceleration is a key reason the model may undervalue the stock if growth re-accelerates.

↔

Perpetuity and exit methods disagree

Perpetuity growth gives $122.85/share (22.6x terminal FCF) while exit multiple gives $178.41/share (37.3x terminal FCF). The 28x EV/EBITDA exit reflects current market multiples, while the perpetuity method with 3.75% growth is more conservative. The base case averages both methods.

🎯

Market pricing in lower growth than model

The market implies only 0.50% perpetual growth — 325bps below the model's 3.75%. This suggests the market sees headwinds or risks not in the model.

✓

Strong cash flow conversion

Year 10 FCF/EBITDA conversion of 74.98% indicates efficient cash generation. FCF reaches $4.3B by Year 10 (31.67% FCF margin).

WACC Calculation

WACC = (E/V × Re) + (D/V × Rd × (1-Tc))

WACC = (86.62% × 8.59%) + (13.38% × 6.79%)

= 8.35%
