Event Summary

Faruqi & Faruqi, a national securities law firm, is investigating Fiserv and encouraging investors to join a federal securities class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that Fiserv made false and misleading statements regarding its Fiserv — Clover (payment processing) platform. Specifically, Fiserv allegedly forced merchants from its older Payeezy platform to Fiserv — Clover (payment processing), temporarily boosting Fiserv — Clover (payment processing)'s revenue and gross payment volume (GPV). However, many former Payeezy merchants reportedly switched to competing solutions due to Fiserv — Clover (payment processing)'s high pricing and compatibility issues, leading to a slowdown in new merchant business and unsustainable growth. The market began to learn the truth on April 24, 2025, when Fiserv reported only 8 percent Fiserv — Clover (payment processing) GPV growth for Q1 2025, causing an 18.5 percent stock drop. Further disclosures on May 15, 2025, and July 23, 2025, about continued GPV deceleration and lowered organic growth guidance led to additional stock drops of 16.2 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively.
