In its latest 13F filing, Jana Partners has announced significant changes to its portfolio. The activist hedge fund exited its stake in Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) and added Wex Inc. (WEX) to its holdings during the second quarter of 2025 [1].

Jana Partners sold 497,000 shares of FIS, marking its exit from the information technology services provider.

Meanwhile, Jana Partners has acquired a new position in Wex Inc., a company that provides payment processing solutions. The specific details of the investment, including the number of shares and value, were not disclosed in the 13F filing. However, this move highlights Jana Partners' interest in diversifying its portfolio with companies in the payment processing sector.

The exit from FIS and the addition of WEX are part of Jana Partners' ongoing strategy to optimize its portfolio.
