FISERV INVESTOR DEADLINE: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that Fiserv, Inc. Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit
The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI) common stock between July 24, 2024 and July 22, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until September 22, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Fiserv class action lawsuit. Captioned City of Hollywood Police Officers' Retirement System v. Fiserv, Inc., No. 25-cv-06094 (S.D.N.Y.), the Fiserv class action lawsuit charges Fiserv as well as certain of Fiserv's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Fiserv class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: Fiserv provides payments and financial services technology solutions. The Fiserv class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) due to cost issues and other problems with its Payeezy platform, Fiserv forced Payeezy merchants to migrate to its Clover platform; (ii) Clover's revenue growth and gross payment volume ('GPV') growth were temporarily and unsustainably boosted by these forced conversions, which concealed a slowdown in new merchant business; (iii) 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; and (iv) as a result of these merchant losses, Clover's GPV growth was significantly slowing, and its revenue growth was unsustainable. The Fiserv class action lawsuit further alleges that on April 24, 2025, Fiserv reported Clover GPV growth of only 8% for the first quarter of 2025, a material stepdown from 2024 GPV rates of between 14% and 17%. Fiserv attributed this slowing growth to lower 2025 transaction volume from Payeezy merchants who had converted to Clover, according to the complaint. The Fiserv class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Fiserv common stock fell more than 18%. Then, on May 15, 2025, the Fiserv class action lawsuit further alleges that Fiserv disclosed that GPV growth deceleration would continue through 2025. On this news, the price of Fiserv common stock fell a further 16%, according to the complaint. Finally, 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, the complaint alleges. On this news, the price of Fiserv common stock fell nearly 14%, according to the Fiserv class action lawsuit. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Fiserv common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Fiserv class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Fiserv class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Fiserv class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Fiserv class action lawsuit. ABOUT ROBBINS GELLER: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is one of the world's leading law firms representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation. Our Firm has been ranked #1 in the ISS Securities Class Action Services rankings for four out of the last five years for securing the most monetary relief for investors.

Prediction: Buying Hexcel Today Could Set You Up for Life
Key Points Hexcel is a play on the increased production of aircraft and the growing adoption of advanced composites in the aviation industry. Engine manufacturers and aircraft manufacturers are ramping up production as supply chain pressures ease. The multiyear backlogs of aircraft manufacturers ensure demand for what Hexcel sells. 10 stocks we like better than Hexcel › Hexcel (NYSE: HXL), a leading supplier of advanced composite materials, is best described as the "nearly" stock of the aerospace sector. However, its time will surely come, and its long-term growth prospects remain excellent. If you are prepared to be patient, then initiating a position when sentiment is against the stock could be a smart decision for a long-term investor. This stock could make you richer. Why Hexcel is out of favor There's very little aftermarket demand for Hexcel's carbon fiber composites, so any reduction in airplane production expectations at its two key customers -- Airbus and Boeing -- hits Hexcel hard. Approximately 40% of 2024 sales were allocated to Airbus and its subcontractors, while Boeing and its subcontractors accounted for 15%. Unfortunately, both airline manufacturers suffered production shortfalls last year, and Airbus has already lowered its expectations for 2025, notably for the composite-rich A350 widebody, an airplane with a shipset value of $4.5 million to $5 million. Unlike many of the other aerospace suppliers, Hexcel can't fall back on aftermarket revenue (which tends to increase with new airplane deliveries) in such market conditions. It gets worse. The company geared up for new airplane deliveries last year, only to be disappointed, and that creates margin challenges in itself. That's the main reason Wall Street expects Hexcel to grow sales barely this year and for earnings per share to drop from $2.03 in 2024 to $1.87 in 2025. Why Hexcel can recover That said, no one should buy stocks based on a company's current performance or its performance over the last 12 months, and this is particularly true in a long-cycle industry like aerospace. The reality is that the commercial aerospace supply chain appears to be improving, and the long-term outlook is highly positive for two major reasons. Aerospace end markets are improving First, CEO Tom Gentile served notice in the company's quarterly press release that the market is improving, stating, "We are encouraged by the more positive tones and progress conveyed by the commercial airframe and engine OEMs in recent months." He has a point. First, engine manufacturer GE Aerospace reported a 38% increase in LEAP engine deliveries in the second quarter (used on the Airbus A320neo family and the Boeing 737MAX), and is back on track for a 15%-20% increase in 2025. Second, after a four-week stoppage, RTX CEO Chris Calio said he thought RTX's Pratt & Whitney (manufacturer of the other engine option on the Airbus A320neo family) is "going to make that up in the balance of the year" with a second-half ramp. As for Boeing, Calio noted that "we are seeing stability in the rates at Boeing; they continue to grow with the focus there on the production system." The GE Aerospace and RTX news is particularly important for Airbus, as a lack of engines has caused delivery setbacks. Long-term growth prospects Hexcel's potential for growth is encapsulated by comparing its current aircraft production rates with those of its key customers. As the table demonstrates, a significant amount of aircraft production and deliveries is expected to occur, as Airbus and Boeing appear to be behind schedule. Manufacturer Aircraft Current Stated Aim Airbus A350 21 deliveries in the first half, at a rate of just over 3/month 12/month in 2028 Airbus A320neo 232 deliveries in the first half, at a rate of nearly 39/month 75/month in 2027 Boeing 787 37 deliveries in the first half at a rate of just over 6/month 10/month in 2026 Boeing 737MAX 42 in June, and plans to apply to the FAA to remove a 38/month production cap 52/month Airbus A330neo 12 deliveries in the first half at a rate of 2/month 4/month in 2024 Airbus A220 41 deliveries in the first half, at a rate of nearly 7 a month 14/month in 2026 Data source: Boeing, Airbus delivery data, author's analysis. A stock to buy? At some point, aircraft deliveries are expected to ramp up, taking Hexcel's sales and margins with them. Moreover, every generation of new aircraft tends to incorporate more composites, resulting in increased shipset value opportunities for Hexcel. The positive recent signs over production from both Boeing and the engine manufacturers (which could feed into a brighter production outlook at Airbus), are good news, and Hexcel is an attractive stock for long-term investors. I predict it could make investors big money. Should you invest $1,000 in Hexcel right now?
