Why did FISV's average price target decrease 14.71% to $187.28 on December 17, 2025?

While Fintel data confirms an average one-year price target for Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI) of $187.28, with a record date of August 5, 2025, and a projection date of August 5, 2026, the specific reason for a 14.71% decrease to this target on December 17, 2025, is not explicitly detailed in the available search results.1
