The timing of the sale, just days before the stock’s sharp decline, has raised speculation of possible insider knowledge or privileged access to market-moving information. However, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing.

Why FI stock is crashing 

Indeed, Fiserv’s stock took a steep plunge in late October after the company reported disappointing third-quarter earnings and slashed its full-year guidance.

The company posted earnings of $2.04 per share, missing Wall Street estimates, while revenue also fell short of expectations. Management cut its organic revenue growth forecast to just 3.5% to 4%, down sharply from around 10% previously, and lowered its full-year EPS outlook to roughly $8.50–$8.60.

Investors also reacted negatively to slowing growth in Fiserv’s key Clover payments platform, leadership shake-ups, and signs of operational missteps, including client pushback over fees. 

Analysts described the company’s reset as “difficult to comprehend,” warning that confidence in management and long-term growth prospects has been severely damaged.
