Fiserv, Inc. reported third-quarter 2026 total revenue of $5,196 million, down 1% year-over-year from $5,263 million in Q3 2025, and an operating loss of $(5,494) million compared to operating income of $1,436 million in the prior-year period. Net loss attributable to Fiserv was $(5,941) million, or $(11.17) per diluted share, heavily impacted by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $6,452 million ($3,692 million in Merchant Solutions and $2,760 million in Financial Solutions) triggered by sustained declines in the company's share price and market capitalization. Operational performance was also pressured by lower Argentina settlement anticipation revenue, reduced high-margin data/analytics and software license sales, and elevated costs associated with the One Fiserv transformation program.
This filing reflects a significant operational and financial reset for Fiserv, headlined by a $6.45 billion non-cash goodwill impairment reflecting macroeconomic and competitive pressures across core fintech and processing units, alongside ongoing SEC and DOJ investigations related to past guidance.
