We do not publish a verdict for Fiserv Inc (FISV) and International Business Machines Corp (IBM) is fairly valued.
We publish an intrinsic value for IBM but not for FISV, so the two cannot be ranked on price.
Values as of the 22 Sept 2026 close.
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 We do not publish a verdict on this one.
