FIS10-Q: Cash flow concern

FIS paused share buybacks and future M&A to accelerate deleveraging.

What happened

Following its large acquisition, the company has suspended its share repurchase program and is limiting further M&A to prioritize paying down debt and returning to its target leverage ratio. This signals a sharp focus on cash preservation, cost control, and maximizing ROI from existing operations.
