Fiserv Inc (FISV)

A revenue multiple, adjusted for growth and margin, would put the shares at $294.60: 6 times the price of $46.10. A gap that size says more about a model than about the market. It usually means heavy debt, where a small error in the value of the business becomes a large one in the value of the shares, or a business our method does not describe. We do not publish a verdict on this one.
