Diamond Hill Capital made the following comment about Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“Shares of payment and bank technology provider Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS) were weak on geopolitical and economic uncertainty. FIS is seeing softness in UK revenues (approximately 15% of its merchant segment), experiencing wage inflation in Brazil and India, and is feeling headwinds from the interest-rate backdrop due to acquisition leverage. Under the leadership of a new CFO, expectations going into 2023 have been reset and FIS reiterated its intention to return excess cash flow to shareholders through share buybacks. We continue to believe FIS is well positioned to grow organically, or via acquisition, over the long term.”
