First Data

First Data is among the world’s largest Data Processing and Outsourced Services sector businesses in the world.  First Data’s employees generate $1.346B in profits on $7.277B of revenue.  Global output in the Data Processing and Outsourced Services business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but First Data is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Data Processing and Outsourced Services segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

First Data’s ticker symbol FDC has recently been trading near $32.66 a share.  The First Data corporate headquarters in Greenwood Village CO predicts Data Processing and Outsourced Services profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $24.639B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 1.13, the company is more volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves higher, First Data moves more aggressively.
