What Happened?
On April 24, 2025, Fiserv reported that the gross payment volume ('GPV') of its merchant payment gateway, Clover, had only seen a growth of 8% for the first quarter of 2025, compared to 14% to 17% from the previous year. The Company attributed the slowing growth to lower 2025 transaction volumes from merchants using the older payment gateway, Payeezy, who had converted to Clover.
On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $40.20, or 18.5%, to close at $176.90 per share on April 24, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on May 15, 2025, Fiserv disclosed that GPV growth deceleration would continue throughout 2025. On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $30.73, or 16.2%, to close at $159.13 per share on May 15, 2025.
Then, on July 23, 2025, Fiserv lowered the top end of its full-year organic growth guidance range and confirmed that its quarterly organic revenue in the Merchant segment had decelerated to 9% year-over-year from 11% in the previous quarter.
On this news, Fiserv's stock price fell $22.98, or 13.8%, to close at $143.00 per share on July 23, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) due to cost issues and other problems with its Payeezy platform, Fiserv forced Payeezy merchants to migrate to its Clover platform; (2) Clover's revenue growth and GPV growth were temporarily and unsustainably boosted by these forced conversions, which concealed a slowdown in new merchant business; (3) shortly after these conversions, a significant portion of former Payeezy merchants switched to competing solutions due to Clover's high pricing, inadequate customer service, and other issues; (4) as a result of these merchant losses, Clover's GPV growth was significantly slowing, and its revenue growth was unsustainable; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Fiserv common stock during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than September 22, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.

Warren Buffett Sends Investors a $344 Billion Warning. History Says the Stock Market Will Do This Next.
Key Points Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway was a net seller of stocks in the second quarter despite holding a near-record $344 billion in cash and equivalents. The S&P 500 currently has a cyclically-adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio of 37.8, a very expensive valuation seen less than 5% of the time throughout history. Following incidents where the S&P 500's monthly CAPE ratio measured 37 or more, the index has usually declined over the next one, two, and three years. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) held $344 billion in cash and equivalents in the second quarter, just shy of the $348 billion it reported at the end of the previous period. The company was also a net seller of stocks for the 11th straight quarter. Together, those capital allocation decisions amount to a grim warning for investors: Buffett sold more stock than he bought despite his company holding a near-record amount of investable cash, and despite the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) plunging as much as 19% from its record high during the second quarter. Buffett evidently sees very few compelling buying opportunities in the stock market, likely because the S&P 500 trades at a historically expensive valuation. That applies to his own company. Buffett, after repurchasing $78 billion in Berkshire stock over a period of 24 quarters, has now gone four consecutive quarters without repurchasing a single share. Here's what investors should know. History says the stock market is headed lower in the next one, two, and three years The cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio is a valuation metric typically used to gauge whether entire stock market indexes are overvalued or undervalued. It was developed by Nobel-winning economist Robert Shiller during the dot-com bubble, so it is sometimes referred to as the Shiller P/E ratio. Whereas the traditional price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is based on earnings from the last 12 months, the CAPE ratio is calculated with average inflation-adjusted earnings from the past decade. That eliminates cyclical fluctuations that occur throughout the business cycle to produce a more accurate picture of where an index's valuation stands. The S&P 500 had a CAPE ratio of 37.8 at the end of July, well above the historical average of 21.2. Indeed, its monthly CAPE ratio has exceeded 37 on only 39 occasions since its was created in 1957, meaning its valuation has been this high less than 5% of the time throughout history. Unfortunately, the S&P 500 has historically performed poorly under such conditions. The following chart shows its average return over different time periods following incidents where its monthly CAPE ratio measured 37 or more. Holding Period S&P 500 Return (When CAPE Ratio Is 37+) 1 year (3%) 2 years (12%) 3 years (14%) Data source: Robert Shiller. The S&P 500 has generally declined during the one-, two-, and three-year periods following incidents where its CAPE ratio topped 37. Put differently, history says the index -- which is widely considered the best benchmark for the entire U.S. stock market -- will drop 3% by July 2026, drop 12% by July 2027, and drop 14% by July 2028. Some additional perspective on Warren Buffett's $344 billion warning Investors should consider Warren Buffett's capital allocation decisions in another context. Yes, Berkshire has been a net seller of stocks for 11 consecutive quarters, and it held $344 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet in the second quarter. Those facts clearly suggest Buffett is hesitant to buy stocks, but some of that hesitancy is probably due to the size of his company. To elaborate, Berkshire Hathaway's market capitalization currently exceeds $1 trillion, and its stock portfolio is worth more than $280 billion. Consequently, buying a few billion dollars in stock will not move the financial needle for the company, which severely limits its options when deploying capital in the market. Indeed, Buffett himself has made that point. "There remain only a handful of companies in this country capable of truly moving the needle at Berkshire, and they have been endlessly picked over by us and by others," Buffett wrote in his 2023 letter to shareholders. "All in all, we have no possibility of eye-popping performance." So while individual investors should heed Buffett's $344 billion warning to some degree, they should not avoid the stock market entirely. They are not constrained in the same way Berkshire is constrained. Put differently, buying a few thousand dollars in stock can move the financial needle for most people, meaning they have far more options than Berkshire. However, given the S&P 500's elevated valuation, investors should focus on reasonably priced stocks they are comfortable holding through volatility.

Prediction: This Quantum Computing Stock Will Be Worth More Than Berkshire Hathaway, Palantir, and Tesla Combined by 2030
Key Points Google parent Alphabet is already nearly worth more than Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla combined. If a few key assumptions hold up, the stock should be larger than these three companies within the near future. Quantum computing probably won't be Alphabet's biggest growth driver, though. 10 stocks we like better than Alphabet › What do Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B), Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) have in common? Not much. However, they're all large-cap companies that have achieved significant success in recent years. There's one common denominator we can definitely cross of the list: None of these three companies has quantum computing developments underway. But another tech giant does. And I predict it will be worth more than Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla combined by 2030. A potential quantum computing monster The potential quantum computing monster I have in mind is Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL). My prediction doesn't require stepping out on a limb too much. Alphabet's market cap currently hovers around $2.3 trillion. That's only a little below the $2.4 trillion combined market caps of Berkshire Hathaway ($1.04 trillion), Palantir ($374 billion), and Tesla ($966 million). All Alphabet needs to do is grow a little faster than these three stocks over the next five years. I think that's doable. However, a few things have to happen for my prediction to pan out that have nothing to do with Alphabet. All bets are off if Berkshire Hathaway pulls off a massive acquisition under Warren Buffett's successor, Greg Abel, that turbocharges the company's growth. My hunch, though, is that Abel won't attempt anything fraught with such risk in his first few years as CEO. I'm assuming that Palantir's valuation catches up with it or that its growth doesn't catch up with its valuation. With the stock trading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of nearly 278 and growth that doesn't come close to justifying this premium, I suspect I'm on pretty safe ground. With Tesla, I'm anticipating intense competition in the electric vehicle market from BYD and others. I'm banking on Cathie Wood and her Ark Invest team being wrong about projections that Tesla's market cap will skyrocket as the robotaxi market takes off. I'm also counting on it taking more than five years for Tesla to have a major commercial hit with its Optimus humanoid robots. Quantum computing and more Of course, Alphabet must deliver strong growth even if my assumptions about Berkshire, Palantir, and Tesla hold up. I'm optimistic that it will. By the way, my prediction doesn't hinge on the company having a major quantum computing breakthrough. That is a distinct possibility, though. Google Quantum AI has already achieved two of the six milestones on its quantum computing roadmap. It believes that building a useful quantum computer is feasible within this decade, too. What I am counting on is continued impressive growth from Google Cloud. The unit's revenue soared 32% year over year in the second quarter of 2025, the fastest growth rate among the big three cloud service providers. With a massive artificial intelligence (AI) tailwind at its back, I think sustained momentum for Google Cloud should be a pretty safe bet. I also look for Google Search, YouTube, and Alphabet's other advertising moneymakers to remain dominant in their markets. Some have warned of an existential threat to Google Search from generative AI. All I've seen so far is Google's generative AI initiatives helping secure its position in the search engine market. While I assume that the robotaxi market won't be big enough to give Tesla a market cap of nearly $10 trillion by 2030, I do think it could provide a nice boost to Alphabet's Waymo unit. The self-driving car business is likely to become an increasingly important growth driver for Alphabet. The elephant in the article Admittedly, there is a potential fly in the ointment with my prediction. It's also the elephant in the room (or, in this case, the article). Could the antitrust actions against Google threaten Alphabet's growth? Probably the best answer to this question is... maybe. However, I don't think it will happen before 2030. Google is appealing the two federal court rulings that went against it. The legal process could drag out for years. I wouldn't bet against the company prevailing. Even if it doesn't, my hunch is that most of the factors that currently make the stock attractive would remain intact. We'll know in five years if my prediction comes true. In the meantime, I view Alphabet as the best quantum computing stock (and one of the best AI stocks) on the market. Should you invest $1,000 in Alphabet right now? Before you buy stock in Alphabet, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Alphabet wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Alcoa Explores Feasibility of Gallium Critical Mineral Production in Western Australia
PERTH, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Alcoa of Australia Limited ('Alcoa'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA; ASX AAI; 'the Company'), announced a Joint Development Agreement ('JDA') with Japan Australia Gallium Associates Pty Ltd ('JAGA'), a joint venture between Sojitz Corporation (Sojitz) and Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC), to explore the feasibility of a gallium project to be co-located at one of Alcoa's operating alumina refineries in Western Australia. Gallium is a highly sought-after mineral, supporting a wide range of important industries and efforts, including the technology sector, particularly semiconductors, as well as the defense industry. Australia and the United States have both recognized gallium as a critical mineral. Additionally, Japan has identified gallium as one of 35 minerals important to national security. Currently, gallium production is concentrated in China with market controls introduced in 2023 heightening global interest in alternative supply chains. Alcoa of Australia President Elsabe Muller said the JDA partners were assessing the potential for a co-located facility to expand global supply of gallium as an existing by-product of the alumina refining process in Western Australia. 'This opportunity could deliver additional value from our established operations and further demonstrate how Alcoa's longstanding mineral processing capabilities can be significant in supporting state, national and global objectives in technology and national defense,' said Ms. Muller. 'We welcome the opportunity to work with the JAGA partners, including Sojitz, who has considerable connection with midstream gallium refiners and manufacturers and would be an offtake customer in the project.' Sojitz Metals, Resources and Recycling Divisional Chief Operating Officer Osamu Matsuura said the project had the potential to introduce supply options for Japanese semiconductor production critical to global downstream processing and manufacturing. Subject to further commercial agreements and regulatory approvals, the JDA partners are targeting a final investment decision by the end of 2025 and to begin production in 2026. Alcoa's participation in the JDA is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. About Alcoa Corporation Alcoa Corporation (NYSE: AA, ASX: AAI) is a global industry leader in bauxite, alumina and aluminum products with a vision to build a legacy of excellence for future generations.
