0/ We've highlighted FinTech infrastructure co's like BR, FIS, JKHY, MA, V, ICE, NDAQ, etc. as companies w/ a variety of moats that have led to dominant mkt share & outperformance despite being 50+ years old on avg.

$FISV had their investor day yesterday and laid out the why.

1/ $FISV highlights the fact that they have #1 market share in core accounting processing for $1-$50B FI’s; they are doing $1.0B in global e-Commerce revenue, and have more than $30B available for capital allocation over the next 5 years (read more M&A for FinTech co's)

2/ They have global reach with clients in more than 100 countries, more than 1,000 products & services, 10,000+ FI clients, & 6M merchant locations.

All while being #1 as a core account processor, merchant acquirer, bill pay, P2P payments, etc...

3/ This business model + market positioning has led to incredibly strong outperformance since inception ~35 years ago with cumulative $FISV shareholder returns of +42,171% vs. the $SPY at 3,327% & Nasdaq at 4,355%.

4/ $FISV has grown via a series of acquisitions over the past 30 years most recently the $22B tie up w/ First Data.

They highlight the progress on the deal & new goals post integration.

M&A is a skill & FISV has it financially; tech integration leaves something to be desired

5/ They highlight 4 key pillars (all of which they claim #1 market share)
(i) Merchant Solutions
(ii) Integrated Banking
(iii) Digital Payments
(iv) Card Payments

6/ Given the unparalleled size & scale they have unique access to data which should in theory inform new products / use-cases for their end clients.

They conduct more than 12,000 financial tx / second & reach nearly ~100% of US households

7/ In 2020 even the leader in FinTech infrastructure boasts about being "nearly all in the cloud" which shows how far the industry has to go.

8/ $FISV is very much focused on the future of banking / open banking which requires multi-industry distribution of financial services / products enabled by cloud & open APIs

9/ The Next-Gen Banking core requires:
(i) Flexible API Service Architecture
(ii) Security & Fraud Tools
(iii) Third Party Integrations
(iv) Data & Analytics

This is a slide I imagine a number of BaaS companies look to emulate in future decks.

10/ $FISV also provided some healthy market share data.

They believe $90B was spent in '20 by Financial Institution on IT which is projected to grow at a 6.3% CAGR through '24.

For those that believe FinTech B2B infrastructure is saturated thats a portion of the pie

11/ $FISV has their own land & expand strategy and sees another $4.7B of opportunity for add-on solutions.

12/ $FISV is the #1 issuer processor with unparalleled leadership in card payments. They have 1.4B accounts on file across 6,000 clients, and 80 countries.

With talks of @Marqeta going public next year this will be an interesting comp for this business line.

13/ They highlight their model is for large issuers w/ a single platform that delivers debit, commercial cc, prepaid, installment loans, private label, & general purpose accounts.

This is part of the oppty co's like Marqeta & Galileo saw $FISV won't entertain the startup.

14/ On the payment side $FISV highlights the growth in payment revenue, RTP, Bill Payment, P2P transactions, and A2A transfers all as part of a large but ever growing mkt opportunity.

15/ $FISV pegs a $1.0B+ revenue opportunity for digital payments. Their NOW Network currently serves 7 of the top 10 U.S. financial institutions.

16/ $FISV's growth plans for payments are focused on:
(i) Omnichannel Capabilities
(ii) Horizontal Commerce Solutions
(iii) Leading Technology
(iv) Payments Innovation
(v) Local Execution
(vi) Integration Advantages

17/ Besides growth domestically there are significant opportunities ex-US in APAC, LatAm, India, and SE Asia, all areas where $FISV has a strong market presence & will continue to invest / buy given the growth pot'l.

18/ Like most companies in this market $FISV talks up their recurring revenue opportunity as subscriptions are eating the world ( @pipe)

19/ $FISV expects to grow top line at 7-9% / year and EPS at 15-20% / year.

Yet it currently trades at ~22.5x EPS and 16.5x EV/EBITDA effectively market multiples.
