ClearBridge Investments made the following comment about Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“We also sold out of payments and financial software maker Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS), choosing to concentrate our digital payments exposure in PayPal (PYPL), which we believe has a more attractive risk/reward at these levels and more internal levers to generate returns. We bought FIS in 2019 for its mix of offense and defense with banking software and services as a stable business and payments that could keep up with fintech. The shares outperformed the benchmark up to the sale, illustrating the resiliency of the core business; however, FIS has underperformed higher-growth payment names.”
