Optimum's outlook 'more aspirational than realistic' – analyst
Optimum's new multi-year outlook sees its broadband business stabilizing at 3.8 million subs by the end of 2028. That's a 'tall order,' says New Street Research, which expects broadband losses to continue.

I know this is for layoffs but just curious if anyone else is buying the stock? I got a few hundred shares this morning because it seems to have reached an all time low. I think we have good products and I can’t figure out why it’s dropped so much. I’m wondering what other people are thinking? Maybe I’m completely wrong and this stock just keeps dropping but I thought Enrique was hired to raise the share price. We lost enough value under Mr. Shock the World.
We are a meme stock
"'Misunderstood'", eh?

When do you think the PE will come in and what companies do you reckon will be the potential buyers?
Running off the dell ship. For Dell employees you saw the company at record market cap and they didn’t care to share. Market cap will be cut in half by August and then the snakes will start the layoff process all
Over again.
why is our stock down? I must feed muh family.
Stock up again today
The market loves our moves and is confident on our hiring plans and return to growth
Our closest competitor is ki-ling us.
Our team is coming up with a $699 computer to compete with the Apple $599 computer. If we’re a market leader, why didn’t we come up with the not a Chromebook device before Apple. The Apple will be better built and last a student all through high school. And Apple’s support bot is better than ours. I know, because I’ve used both.
It shows we no longer lead the PC market, we follow the trends. A sale or spinoff can’t be far off.
Disclosure: Like others said - mine is pure speculation. I own some Dell stock but not enough to get rich and retire yet. I’m just turning sc--w drivers and plugging in cables everyday.
As an aside, I wonder how the ‘experts’ who said to dump Dell at $150 are doing…
Up another 5% today - the market understands that we are hiring and have returned to growth
Sounds like the hammer dropped on several teams yesterday. Of course, no real communication to indicate which teams.
since 2020, the market cap of TMO today is basically the same as Verizon...what a waste of money ($50+) and time (5+ years). Sad, sad, sad...
My experience so far hasn't been great, most places don’t even respond and the few that do say they already have way too many candidates for the same roles.
Is this going to be a game changer for Voyix restaurants? Will Voyix finally be able to compete with Toast?
or at least, not directly.
it’s about 100s of billions in capital investment,.. foundries, process tech, supply chains, equipment, capacity, political leverage, u name it - all of it. intel obvously cannot run without good engineers. that part is true. but the reason the market value has exploded is that everything around the engineers suddenly became much more valuable because of the tech cycle and geopolitics.
think of it this way imagine somene from the outside could take over everything the company owns except the people then hire a new workforce from scratch. it would probably take them ten years to make it work. hmmm.... maybe longer. but once they got there, they would be sitting on a money-printing machine.
i’m an engineer too, and i have a pretty high opinion of what we do. no false modesty there.
but at this valuation, i don’t think they’re looking at you and me. they’re looking at the machine.
I keep waiting for the other economic shoe to drop...

What's the most likely outcome ? Just a content only company ? Bought by PE? A collapse ?
$108 was considered the highest possible outcome by analysts.
Have to imagine this ~$100 range won’t last past earnings.
I told you, target price in next 2 months is $60.
Is it just me, or are bonuses and raises well below market?
over crowded tech job seeker market -large scale let go of seniors in India (40+age) started(forced to resign) - target 20000 heads. Many techies abandoning tech career path altogether to start something more predictable and worth learning
Any updates on this topic? Also, are there any hints about potential buyers?! saw the earnings - ADM performed quite well.
Wait for the email. Stock now in the $8s, thats 1/3 of what it was when he came in, the market has lost all confidence in him.
They are just sorting out the replacement, he will be sending the more family time email to your inbox.
Fiserv (FISV): Historical Performance & The Last 6 Years
The Pre-2019 Track Record: Steady, Boring, Brilliant
Fiserv's reputation before 2019 was that of a predictable compounder — a back-office financial technology company delivering 4–5% organic revenue growth and 10–15% EPS growth annually for decades. Its 20-year total return is 462%, which is impressive precisely because it was built brick by brick, not in bursts. Think of it as a toll booth on the financial system — unglamorous, mission-critical, and quietly profitable. Banks couldn't easily rip out Fiserv's core processing systems, which meant sticky, recurring revenue. FinanceCharts
2019: The Big Bet — First Data Acquisition
The first major anomaly arrived in 2019 when Fiserv made a transformative, and very controversial, move. Fiserv agreed to acquire First Data Corporation in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $22 billion, receiving a fixed exchange ratio of 0.303 Fiserv shares per First Data share — a 29% premium at announcement. This essentially doubled Fiserv's size overnight, brought in the Clover point-of-sale platform, and shifted the company from a pure B2B infrastructure player into merchant-facing commerce territory. sec
The integration hangover was real. The deal loaded the company with debt, complicated its story for investors, and blurred what had been a very clean investment thesis. Even heading into 2019, pre-deal Fiserv expected only 4.5–5% internal revenue growth and 10–14% adjusted EPS growth — solid but modest. Post-deal, Wall Street had to recalibrate entirely. sec
2020–2022: Pandemic Noise, Integration Grind
The stock performed reasonably through COVID but never rerated meaningfully higher. The market was skeptical about whether the First Data integration was actually working. The total return for 2022 was -2.62% — essentially flat in a bad market year, reflecting investor uncertainty rather than confidence. Organic growth guidance was generally met, but the stock traded at a discount to peers. FinanceCharts
The Exchange Saga: Nasdaq → NYSE → Nasdaq
This is one of the stranger corporate optics stories in recent fintech history, and it happened in two acts:
Act 1 — June 2023: Going to NYSE
On June 6, 2023, Fiserv switched its stock listing from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange and changed its ticker symbol from FISV to FI. CEO Frank Bisignano framed it as a prestige move — aligning with blue-chip peers, signaling fintech leadership. Bisignano said the decision was meant to signal the company's "leadership position in fintech." The stock was performing well at the time, and it looked like a victory lap. WikipediaFiserv, Inc.
Act 2 — November 2025: Back to Nasdaq
Then came the embarrassing reversal. On November 11, 2025, after over two years on the NYSE under the symbol FI, Fiserv switched its listing back to the Nasdaq Global Select Market and changed its ticker symbol back to FISV. The rationale was framed around closer alignment with Nasdaq's technology-focused investor base, but the timing was telling — it coincided almost exactly with the launch of the "One Fiserv" restructuring plan and a significant guidance cut. The return to FISV was, in many ways, a retreat to familiar territory at a moment of operational stress. WikipediaThe New York Report
2023–2024: The Peak and the Problem
2023 delivered a 31.43% total return, and 2024 was even stronger at 54.64%. The stock hit an all-time high. Fiserv's all-time high closing price was $237.79 on March 3, 2025. Clover was gaining momentum, and the market finally appeared to believe the post-First Data story. FinanceChartsMacroTrends
Then it fell apart quickly.
2025–2026: The Crash and the Reset
The total return for 2025 was -67.30% — a stunning collapse from that March peak. The causes were layered: guidance cuts, slowing organic growth, heavy investment spend, and macro uncertainty around consumer spending at small businesses. By Q3 2025, Fiserv had cut its organic revenue growth outlook to just 3.5–4% and adjusted EPS guidance to $8.50–$8.60 for the year — a dramatic reduction from earlier targets. Alongside those Q3 results, Fiserv launched the "One Fiserv" action plan to prioritize and enhance client focus. FinanceCharts + 2
As of late April 2026, the stock was around $62.65 — down roughly 74% from its all-time high. That's an extraordinary compression for a company with $21 billion in revenue and positive cash flow. MacroTrends
Can the Old Growth Track Record Return?
This is the heart of the debate, and the honest answer is: probably not in the same form, but the underlying business is arguably stronger — if execution improves.
Here's why the old model is unlikely to simply resume:
The pre-2019 Fiserv was a smaller, simpler machine. Squeezing 4–5% organic growth out of bank processing contracts was repeatable and predictable. Today's Fiserv is a merchant-facing platform business competing with Square, Toast, Stripe, and global acquirers — a fundamentally more volatile, competitive environment.
Here's the bull case for why growth could re-accelerate:
Clover's value-added services reached 27% of revenue in Q4 2025, up 5 points year-over-year, and management targets Clover GPV growth of 10–15% in 2026. The thesis is that Clover becomes what Square/Block tried to be — a full small business operating system, not just a payment terminal. Analysts point to Clover's 25% value-added services penetration with a path to 35–40%+ as a high-margin compounding engine the market may be underweighting. TIKRSimply Wall St
Financial Solutions core banking and debit processing carry near-irreplaceable switching costs, meaning client defection risk is structurally low. Simply Wall St
And the valuation math has shifted sharply. At roughly 10–11x 2026 adjusted EPS, the stock appears to price in essentially no recovery from the guided trough — any normalization toward higher adjusted margins in 2027–28 could create meaningful upside. The average analyst rating remains "Buy," with a 12-month price target around $127.53. Simply Wall StStockAnalysis
Bottom Line
The historical slow-and-steady compounder version of Fiserv is effectively gone — that company no longer exists in its original form after the First Data merger. What remains is a larger, messier, higher-potential but higher-risk entity trying to prove it can be both a reliable financial infrastructure provider and a growth platform business. The exchange round-trip (Nasdaq → NYSE → Nasdaq) is a reasonable metaphor for that identity confusion: it was a company that briefly thought it had arrived, then had to acknowledge it still had significant work to do.
Whether it can rerate from here depends heavily on Clover's execution, the success of "One Fiserv," and whether the payments sector recovers investor confidence. The fundamentals — cash flow, sticky clients, market position — are intact. The credibility with investors, after two years of guidance misses, is not.

That Oxy stock was on the way up. Down 6% in early morning trading..$55... If the stock drops back into the $40's again, you are waist deep in alligators. Aunt Vickie isn't here to look after you.
Coinbase announced it will cut approximately 700 jobs. This represents about 14% of its global workforce. The company cites crypto market volatility and cost reduction as reasons. It also aims to reposition the business for the artificial intelligence era. These restructuring efforts are expected to incur $50 million to $60 million in charges.

Watching Marketbeat trying to prop up Humana’s stock with suggestions of financial analyst’s optimism is hilarious!
They might as well shout out at the top of their lungs “BUY HUMANA STOCK! BUY HUMANA STOCK! WE NEED YOU TO BUY HUMANA STOCK!” Lol.
It is like an unpopular kid screaming, “PLEASE PLAY WITH ME! LOVE ME!!! OR ELSE I AM GOING TO TAKE MY TOYS HOME!”
Why can’t Humana just stand on reputation that is based on providing good customer service?! Why must they rely on manipulating shareholders through media and financial pundit sentiment?! Rather pathetic.
FreshRealm, a Blue Apron supplier, filed for bankruptcy this week. The company is laying off over 1,000 employees nationwide. This follows listeria-related product recalls last year. Walmart ended its customer relationship after the outbreak. Misfits Market will now take over Blue Apron production.

What does this mean? TBH doesn't seem like a bad idea if they want to avoid market volatility for now.
Ok, what is actually happening with GFS price. Is it organic in any way or is it merely resultant of including Apple in recent headlines?
Those of you involved inESPP as well as those receiving RSU should be very interested in the answer.
So what does this mean?
