How did FIS's secondâquarter revenue and earnings compare to consensus estimates and prior quarter performance?
Answer
Based on the excerpt you supplied, the pressârelease headline and the CEOâs comment tell us that FISâŻ(NYSE:FIS) âdelivered another quarter of financial outâperformance driven by our Banking segmentâ and that the company is âraising our fullâyear outlook.ââŻThese statements indicate that the secondâquarter (Q2âŻ2025) results were better than what the market expected and stronger than the prior quarterâs results. However, the specific quantitative details that would let us directly compare the Q2âŻ2025 revenue and earnings to:
- Consensus analyst estimates (e.g., revenue and earningsâperâshare forecasts that Wall Street had published before the results), and
- Q1âŻ2025 performance (the actual revenue and earnings reported in the first quarter),
are not included in the text you provided. The release excerpt stops after the CEOâs quote and does not list the actual figures, the percentage by which the results beat consensus, or the change versus the previous quarter.
What we can infer from the language used
| Indicator | What the language suggests | What we still do not know |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | âFinancial outâperformanceâ and âpositive momentumâ imply that revenue either exceeded consensus estimates and/or rose versus Q1. | Exact revenue amount, the consensus estimate range, and the Q1 revenue number. |
| Earnings (EPS) | âOutâperformanceâ also applies to earnings, so earningsâperâshare likely beat the WallâStreet consensus and were higher than Q1 EPS. | The reported EPS, the consensus EPS estimate, and the Q1 EPS figure. |
| Fullâyear outlook | The company is raising its fullâyear outlook, which is typically done when the latest quarter beats both internal targets and external forecasts. | The magnitude of the outlook revision (e.g., new revenue/earnings guidance). |
How to obtain the missing numbers
To answer the question with the precise numbers youâre looking for, you would need to locate the complete FIS Q2âŻ2025 earnings release (or a full news article covering it). The full release normally includes a âFinancial Highlightsâ table that lists:
- Revenue for Q2âŻ2025 (and often Q2âŻ2024 for yearâoverâyear comparison)
- Net earnings (or net income) and earnings per share (EPS) for Q2âŻ2025
- Consensus analyst estimates for both revenue and EPS (often shown in a âFactSet/Refinitiv consensusâ column)
- Q1âŻ2025 results for a direct quarterâtoâquarter comparison
You can retrieve those details from:
- FISâs investorârelations website â the âPress Releasesâ or âFinancial Resultsâ section typically hosts the full earnings release PDF.
- Major financial news outlets (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, YahooâŻFinance) that often publish a âKey Metricsâ table summarizing the beat/miss versus consensus.
- FactSet, Refinitiv, or ThomsonâŻReuters consensus data feeds, which are frequently quoted in earnings articles.
Sample structure of a complete answer (once the numbers are obtained)
If the full release were available, a comprehensive answer would look like this:
| Metric | Q2âŻ2025 Actual | Q2âŻ2025 Consensus Estimate | Q2âŻ2025 vs. Consensus | Q2âŻ2025 vs. Q1âŻ2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $XâŻbillion | $YâŻbillion | +ZâŻ% (beat) | +AâŻ% (quarterâoverâquarter) |
| Net earnings / EPS | $BâŻbillion / $CâŻper share | $DâŻbillion / $EâŻper share | +FâŻ% (beat) | +GâŻ% (quarterâoverâquarter) |
Where â+ZâŻ% (beat)â indicates the percentage by which the actual result exceeded the consensus estimate, and â+AâŻ% (quarterâoverâquarter)â shows the growth relative to Q1âŻ2025.
Bottom line
- From the provided excerpt alone: We can only confirm qualitatively that FISâs Q2âŻ2025 revenue and earnings outperformed consensus estimates and improved on the prior quarterâs results.
- For a quantitative comparison: Youâll need to consult the full earnings release or a detailed earningsâcoverage article that lists the actual figures, the consensus estimates, and the Q1âŻ2025 numbers. Once those numbers are in hand, you can compute the exact percentage beats and quarterâoverâquarter changes.
