In the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, Gen Digital announced adjusted earnings of 56 cents per share.

Fidelity National announced an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.40 for the fourth quarter of 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.7%. This achievement was driven by strong recurring revenue growth across both business segments as well as growing new sales traction.

Nonetheless, increased cost of revenues somewhat mitigated these positive factors at Fidelity National.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Mastercard Incorporated announced adjusted earnings of $3.82 per share, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.8%.
