FIS shares fell 4.4% on April 23 to $45.74. The stock is down 30.6% year-to-date and 40.9% over the last year, and has traded between $43.30 and $82.74 over the past 52 weeks. GuruFocus’ GF Value™ estimate stands at $84.83, implying a 46.1% upside from the current price.

Despite this apparent discount, the GF Valuation label classifies FIS as a possible value trap. The firm’s GF Score™ is 70 out of 100, suggesting above-average potential for long-term returns but with notable weaknesses. Financial strength and valuation are each rated 4/10, and momentum is lower at 2/10, reflecting the stock’s poor recent performance. Growth is the strongest factor at 7/10, while profitability scores 6/10.

FIS currently trades at a P/E (TTM) of 62.7x, about 8% below its 5-year median of 68.0x. Its forward P/E is 7.3x, indicating expectations of higher earnings ahead. In the last three months, insiders have purchased $1.1 million of FIS shares, with no recorded insider selling over that period.

GuruFocus’ GF Value™ for FDS is $500.30, placing the current price 54.4% below that estimate.

FDS carries a GF Score™ of 79/100, indicating above-average potential for long-term returns. Profitability and growth both score 10/10, while financial strength is rated 6/10. In contrast, valuation scores 2/10 and momentum 1/10, highlighting weak recent share performance and market sentiment despite strong operating metrics.

FactSet’s current P/E (TTM) is 14.7x versus a 5-year median of 34.4x, and its forward P/E stands at 12.9x. GuruFocus notes there have been no insider transactions in the last three months, indicating neither insider buying nor selling in the recent period.

FFIV has a GF Score™ of 84/100, the highest among the three companies, supported by financial strength and profitability scores of 8/10 each. Growth is rated 6/10, momentum 7/10 and valuation 5/10. The company’s P/E (TTM) is 24.8x, about 9% below its 5-year median of 27.1x, and its forward P/E is 18.8x. Despite the strong fundamentals, the GF Value™ assessment indicates a premium relative to intrinsic value.
