Fidelity National Information Services, or FIS, helps banks and other financial companies run their technology systems. It provides software and services that process payments, manage bank accounts, and handle trades for financial institutions around the world. FIS is one of the largest financial technology companies globally, serving thousands of banks, credit unions, and capital markets firms.

FIS earns money by charging banks and financial firms fees for using its software platforms and processing services, mostly through long-term contracts. The company operates across more than 100 countries, generating roughly $10 billion in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is how deeply its software is embedded in customers' core banking systems, making it costly and difficult for clients to switch providers. The key risk facing FIS is that it carries significant debt from past acquisitions, and its relatively low return on invested capital suggests the business still needs to improve how efficiently it uses its assets.
