FIS opened fiscal 2026 with a broad beat, delivering 6.5% pro forma revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.36, up 12.4% year over year, while free cash flow more than doubled to $474 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 87 basis points to 39.6% as both Banking and Capital Markets came in above the high end of guidance, and recurring ACV rose 24%, signaling durable forward growth. The strategic headline was an agreement with Anthropic to co-build an FIS-owned financial crimes agent, alongside the Project Keystone tokenized-deposit network with five U.S. banks. The one soft spot was Capital Markets, where a roughly 130 basis point lending headwind from macro-driven debt issuance softness tempered recurring growth, though management views it as transitory. FIS reiterated its full-year outlook of 5.1%-5.7% pro forma revenue growth and 8%-10% adjusted EPS growth.
