Fidelity National Information Services has growing revenues and increasing reinvestment in the business, healthy debt levels, and irregular cash flows. However, the firm suffers from consistently negative margins with a negative growth trend and declining EPS growth.

Fidelity National Information Services does not have a meaningful trailing P/E ratio since its earnings per share are currently in the red. Based on its EPS guidance of $4.55, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 12.4. In comparison, the average P/E ratio for the Consumer Discretionary sector is 22.96. On the other hand, the market is undervaluing Fidelity National Information Services in terms of its equity because its P/B ratio is 1.93. In comparison, the sector average is 4.24. In conclusion, Fidelity National Information Services's impressive cash flow trend, decent P/B ratio, and reasonable use of leverage demonstrate that the company may still be fairly valued — despite its elevated earnings multiple.
