Fidelity National Information Services provides core processing and ancillary services to banks, but its business has expanded over time. By acquiring SunGard in 2015, the company now provides record-keeping and other services to investment firms.

But the company sold off a majority interest in Worldpay and now has only a minority stake.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Fidelity National Info has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Fidelity National Info's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Fidelity National Info's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.04%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Peering Into Fidelity National Info's Recent Short Interest

On Monday, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b41709529/fis-reports-strong-third-quarter-2024-results-and-raises-full-year-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter revenue</a> of $2.57 billion, up 3% year over year, topping the analyst consensus of $2.56 billion. Adjusted&nbsp;EPS of $1.40 beat the analyst consensus of $1.29.
The company expects fiscal 2024 revenue of $10.14 billion &#8211; $10.17 billion (prior $10.12 billion &#8211; $10.17 billion) and adjusted EPS of $5.15 &#8211; $5.20 (prior $5.03 &#8211; $5.11).

Multiple analysts rerated the stock after the print. RBC Capital analyst Daniel Perlin maintained Fidelity National Info with an Outperform and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/FIS/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $95 to $104</a>.
KeyBanc analyst Alex Markgraff remained Sector Weight on Fidelity National Info. Goldman Sachs analyst Will Nance reiterated a Buy on Fidelity National Info with a price target of $100, up from $97.
RBC Capital: Perlin highlighted FIS&#8217; recent performance, noting strength in core banking sales and operating leverage in capital markets. Banking segment adjusted revenue grew by 3% year-over-year to $1.71 billion, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 45.2%, supported by cost-saving efforts and an increasing proportion of recurring revenue, up 6% year-over-year. The recent acquisition of Dragonfly, which offers liquidity management and fraud prevention for complex commercial clients, enhances FIS&#8217; digital offerings and opens cross-selling opportunities with banks not yet using FIS&#8217; core services.
The Capital Markets segment posted 7% adjusted revenue growth, reaching $730 million, with a 49.9% EBITDA margin. This was attributed to a favorable revenue mix and operational leverage. Management anticipates ongoing margin expansion in the segment, driven by increased recurring revenue and a boost in cross-selling activity across the enterprise, which rose 20% year-to-date.
KeyBanc: Markgraff observed that FIS reported better-than-expected third-quarter results and raised its full-year guidance. However, the increase was primarily due to reduced interest expenses and added Worldpay EMI contributions rather than core operational growth. Adjusted revenue in Banking grew 3% year-over-year, driven by steady recurring revenue. Capital Markets adjusted revenue also rose by 7%, reflecting substantial operating leverage and an advantageous revenue mix.
Despite an upbeat revenue beat, Markgraff noted that higher capital expenditures—partly from vendor pricing pressures—dampened immediate market response to the results. The outlook suggests strong momentum, particularly in Capital Markets, though Banking growth is expected to settle closer to the lower to midpoint of its projected range.
Goldman Sachs: Nance noted that FIS outperformed the S&amp;P with a 67 basis point rise, as investors seemed reassured by consistent performance and reaffirmed medium-term targets. Despite anticipated increases in third-party vendor costs impacting capital expenditures, management expressed confidence in maintaining cash flow in 2025. While Worldpay is no longer central to FIS&#8217; strategy, its EMI continues positively impacting EPS. Operationally, FIS saw strong execution with several key customer wins in the Asia-Pacific region, reinforcing confidence in its execution.
Looking ahead, Nance views FIS as a reliable, defensively positioned investment with moderate revenue growth and steady EPS growth, enhanced by capital returns and efficient margin management. He raised the price target, reflecting peer valuation adjustments driven by FIS&#8217; continued positive performance trajectory.
Price Action: FIS stock is down 3.21% at $86.82 at last check Tuesday.

&#8220;Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. In the history of modern polling, there's never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest,&#8221; said Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the New York Times. 
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2%, while the Dow dropped 0.6%, hitting its lowest intraday level since mid-September. In contrast, small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 1%. The Nasdaq 100 also retreated, dipping below the 20,000 mark.
Treasury yields fell by nearly 10 basis points as investors scaled back positions linked to Trump&#8217;s inflationary policies, such as high tariffs and more expansionary fiscal measures. The dollar also weakened, down 0.5%.
The increasing likelihood of a Harris victory gave a boost to solar and renewable energy stocks, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbing 3.6%. 
Oil and gas stocks also gained, as crude prices surged 3% after OPEC+ postponed an anticipated production hike. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) jumped 3%, marking its largest single-day gain since late June.

The stock market indexes have enjoyed record highs in recent years with the S&amp;P 500 outperforming other years with President&nbsp;Joe Biden&nbsp;leading the country for the last&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37275812/if-you-invested-in-the-s-p-500-when-joe-biden-became-president-heres-how-much-youd-have-today" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly four years.</a>
Not all stocks went up with Biden in office and investors may want to take a look back at the worst performing stocks of 2021 to prepare themselves for what could be ahead with the 2024 election nearing.
What Happened:&nbsp;Biden stepped down from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2024 presidential election&nbsp;</a>earlier this year. While the current president won&#8217;t be re-elected to the White House, past performance with a Democrat as president could highlight which stocks and sectors could be winners if&nbsp;Kamala Harris&nbsp;is victorious in Tuesday&#8217;s election.
The S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>),&nbsp;was up 26.9% in 2021. This marked the best yearly performance since 2018 and the second-best performance for the key stock market index in the last 11 years.
The 12 months following Election Day 2020, which was won by Biden,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/01/25137004/biden-vs-trump-how-did-stock-market-returns-compare-after-their-first-year-as-president" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">saw the S&amp;P 500 gain 37.4%.</a>&nbsp;This was the best one-year market return under a president in many years.
While many stocks were up in 2021, not all of the publicly traded companies had positive returns on the year.
Here were the 10 best-performing S&amp;P 500 stocks in 2021, according to a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/money/ask/worst-performing-stocks-in-2021-in-the-s-and-p-500" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report </a>from StatMuse, and their sectors.
<ol>
<li>Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LVS#NYSE">LVS</a>): -37.1%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Global Payments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPN#NYSE">GPN</a>): -36.8%, financials</li>
<li>Market Axess (NASDAQ::MKTX): -28.1%, financials</li>
<li>Viatris (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTRS#NASDAQ">VTRS</a>): -25.8%, health care</li>
<li>Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYNN#NASDAQ">WYNN</a>): -24.8%, consumer discretionary/casinos</li>
<li>Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>): -24.4%, media/entertainment</li>
<li>Palantir Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>): -23.8%, technology</li>
<li>Fidelity National Information Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FIS#NYSE">FIS</a>): financials</li>
<li>PayPal (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PYPL#NASDAQ">PYPL</a>): -20.7%, financials</li>
<li>Erie Indemnity (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIE#NASDAQ">ERIE</a>): -20.3%, insurance</li>
</ol>
The results above show that financials was an underperforming sector in 2021 and also includes several casino stocks on the list. Peak at the top<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/12/24848823/10-worst-performing-s-p-500-stocks-of-2021"> 10 best performing</a> S&amp;P 500 stocks here.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Click through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">to see the 10 best</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41606114/10-s-p-500-stocks-were-worst-performers-in-first-year-of-trumps-presidency-will-they-sink-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10 worst-performing</a>&nbsp;S&amp;P 500 stocks of 2017,&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8216;s first year in the White House.
What's interesting for investors could be the correlation for some stocks based on who was in the White House.
Wynn Resorts was the fourth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017 under Trump, but was an underperformer in 2021 under Biden. PayPal was the eighth best performing stock in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, but was an underperformer in 2021.
The results above could show that financials and casino stocks could be underperformers if Harris wins the presidency based on the past results and Democratic Party leadership.
With less than one week until the 2024 election, investors are likely positioning their portfolio based on a Trump or&nbsp;Harris&nbsp;victory in some regards. With a close election predicted, investors may want to look to sectors that could benefit under either candidate.
Freedom Capital Markets&nbsp;Chief Global Strategist&nbsp;Jay Woods&nbsp;previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40515453/exclusive-trump-or-harris-12-stocks-2-etfs-could-win-no-matter-whos-president-says-market-strate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;shared some sectors&nbsp;</a>and stocks to watch with Benzinga that could benefit regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins the 2024 election.
Woods named defense stocks and cybersecurity stocks as two of the top sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
"I think you've got to watch this sector closely," Woods said of the defense sector.
Woods added that defense stocks could continue to benefit from geopolitical concerns and the world&#8217;s many adverse events.
