Thread regarding Fiserv Inc. layoffs

After a 75% Drop, Here’s Where I Am

I’m being straightforward here: I’m not keeping my money in Fiserv anymore. In 2025, I tried to offset some of the losses by buying as we slid, hoping we’d stabilize. Looking at my vested RSUs now is just discouraging. In a single year, we lost nearly 75% of our value. I know it’s technically a paper loss, but it’s hard to see it as anything other than a disincentive.

We also haven’t seen meaningful insider investment from leadership. It feels like we’re in a defensive crouch — holding ground, cutting costs, and trying to ride out the storm. I still believe this company can turn things around, but 2025 took a lot of the loyalty out of me.

As we head into Tuesday’s announcement, all we can really do is hope together. With the lack of clarity and vision from the top, hope is the only thing we’ve been given.

My recommendation is to sell any RSUs immediately upon vesting to avoid carrying a loss until tax refunds. I get rid of those frikkers ASAP and slam the resulting $10 into an index-backed ETF instead.

Additionally, skip the ESPP and slam that money STRAIGHT into an index fund... much more stable growth to be had there.

Lessoned learned huh? When our former CEO is all that he was, the stock was not reflective of what was happening internally. I'm amazed at how many people believed that Fiserv trippling in value was legitimate, as layoffs were rampant, innovation lacked, and customers were furious.

Now is the time to buy. People will try to make up for the lost value in stock well past retirement for most. FB got the last laugh.
