- **Strategic Reset**: Fiserv revises 2025 organic growth to 3.5%-4%, excluding Argentina's 2% contribution. Targets **double-digit EPS growth from 2027**.
- **Clover Growth Pivot**: Clover Q4 2025 revenue +10% (vs. prior +15%), with focus on long-term SMB platform expansion.
- **Financial Solutions Challenges**: 2025 segment decline driven by one-time comps, with recovery tied to surround product launches.
- **AI Investment**: $1.8B 2025 CapEx for Project Elevate, aiming to deliver operational efficiency and client experience improvements.

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Company Reset**: CEO Michael Lyons outlined a strategic reset, driven by a rigorous analysis of Fiserv's operations, revealing the need to recalibrate growth assumptions and deprioritize short-term initiatives. The company now targets a **mid-single-digit organic revenue growth baseline** (3.5%-4% for 2025), excluding cyclical factors like Argentina's hyperinflation.

  1. **Client-First Mindset**: Expanding ARPC through exceptional service and innovation (e.g., Clover's SMB platform).
  2. **Technology Investments**: Modernizing cores (e.g., Finxact), embedded finance solutions, and AI-driven operational excellence (Project Elevate with IBM).
  3. **Leadership Changes**: New Co-Presidents (Takis Georgakopoulos & Dhivya Suryadevara) and CFO (Paul Todd) to drive execution.
  4. **Capital Allocation**: Monetizing non-core assets and reinvesting in high-growth areas like stablecoins (FIUSD) and embedded finance.
  5. **Long-Term Growth**: Aims for **double-digit EPS growth starting in 2027**, supported by free cash flow generation and disciplined capital returns.
