Friday's Featured News Fiserv Has NEVER Done This Before—Is It a Screaming Buy?Written by Sam Quirke. Published 11/14/2025. 
Key Points - Fiserv shares have plunged nearly 50% in two weeks following brutal earnings.
- The stock is now trading at 2017 levels, and its RSI just hit an all-time low.
- Analysts see deep value emerging but the question is whether the bottom is in.
Fintech stock Fiserv Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV) has experienced one of its sharpest selloffs ever. Shares have dropped nearly 50% in two weeks, extending an already difficult year and sending the stock back to 2017 price levels. Fiserv shares are now down roughly 70% from March's all-time high — a stunning reversal for what had been one of the S&P 500's best-performing stocks last year. For technical traders, the decline is historic. Fiserv's relative strength index (RSI), a momentum indicator, has fallen to its lowest level ever. In four decades of trading, the stock has never been this technically oversold. That fact alone illustrates the scale of the selloff, and for some investors it raises the question of whether this could be the perfect entry point for a comeback. Let's dig in. What Triggered the Collapse Warren Buffett is the greatest value investor of all time. But even the Oracle of Omaha has limits.
Because of Berkshire Hathaway's size, Buffett simply can't invest in small-cap stocks without taking controlling stakes. That means some of the market's most promising companies are completely off his radar.
But they don't have to be off yours.
We've put together a brand-new report profiling 5 small-cap stocks that check all the boxes of Buffett's investing criteria solid financials, durable business models, strong management, and clear growth catalysts.
The only difference?
These stocks are flying under Wall Street's radar and still accessible to individual investors like you. >> Click here to get your free copy of this report While shares had been drifting lower through the summer, the immediate catalyst was a poor earnings report two weeks ago. Fiserv missed expectations on both revenue and profit, lowered forward guidance, and announced a sweeping strategic overhaul intended to streamline operations. Rather than reassure investors, the surprise miss and the vague reset sparked panic and sent remaining bulls for the exits. Compounding the problem, Fiserv also announced significant leadership and board changes. Even when such moves are ultimately constructive, they can create the appearance of disarray in the near term. Within hours, analysts at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock, warning about heightened uncertainty and weak near-term visibility. The market response was swift: Fiserv lost nearly half its market value in just two weeks and continued to hit fresh lows as recently as last Friday. Technical Indicators Suggest a Turning Point Extreme selloffs can also create buying opportunities. After the post-earnings collapse, Fiserv's RSI plunged into the low teens — a level rarely seen among S&P 500 names — signalling the stock was deeply oversold. In the company's 40‑year trading history, its RSI has never fallen this low. This week the selling appears to have paused as the bears take a breather. If shares hold around the current $65 area, that level could develop into initial support and lead to a period of consolidation. Analysts are already flagging potential upside. In the past two weeks, Sanford Bernstein reiterated a Buy rating with an $80 target, and Oppenheimer reiterated Buy with a $91 target. Susquehanna went further, setting a $99 price target, implying more than 50% upside from current levels. Even after weak results and leadership turmoil, those projections make Fiserv difficult for some investors to ignore. Why the Risk/Reward Looks Compelling Despite the selloff, Fiserv remains a major player in the fintech ecosystem. Its platforms process billions in transactions, recurring revenue still represents the bulk of its income, and cash flow remains a core strength — features that can comfort investors considering positions at oversold levels. Once the dust settles, leadership transitions and strategic resets often help reset investor sentiment. If Fiserv can demonstrate a clearer, simpler operating model, the stock could attract buyers looking for recovery potential. Stabilization won't happen overnight, but history shows that collapses of this size can create asymmetric opportunities. Fiserv doesn't need perfection — it needs a steady hand and a credible plan. How the stock trades over the coming weeks will reveal whether investors believe management can deliver on that plan.
