Investors who bought Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) stock between May 7, 2020 and February 10, 2023 and filed a claim by May 28, 2026 are still waiting on the $210 million FIS securities settlement. The court has not granted final approval, a further hearing on attorneys’ fees is set for November 12, 2026, and no payments have been distributed.
Current Status: Final Approval Still Pending
Claims closed on May 28, 2026, and the court has not yet granted final approval of the $210 million settlement, so no payments have been distributed. Judge Timothy J. Corrigan held the final approval hearing on July 9, 2026 but did not rule from the bench. On August 21, 2026, before ruling on Lead Counsel’s fee request or approving the settlement, the court ordered a supplemental brief on the “megafund” size of the settlement and whether economies of scale should reduce the attorneys’ fee award. Lead Counsel filed that brief on September 8, 2026, and on September 24, 2026 the court set a further hearing on the fee motion for November 12, 2026 at 10:00 AM in Jacksonville.In securities settlements, distributions to claimants come only after the court enters a final approval order, any appeal period runs, and the claims administrator finishes calculating each claimant’s recognized loss. Readers who see reports of FIS settlement payments arriving now should check the source: the court docket shows no final approval order as of October 5, 2026. The official settlement website is where Verita Global, the claims administrator, posts distribution updates.
What Is This Settlement About?
If you bought stock in Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. — ticker symbol FIS on the New York Stock Exchange — between May 7, 2020 and February 10, 2023, and you lost money when the stock price dropped, you may be entitled to a cash payment from a $210 million settlement.Here is what happened in plain English: FIS is a major financial technology company. In 2019, FIS completed a massive $43 billion acquisition of a company called Worldpay, which processes payments for businesses around the world. After the acquisition, FIS executives made a series of public statements about how well the integration was going and how strong the combined company's performance would be. Investors relied on those statements and the stock price stayed high.
The lawsuit alleged that those statements were false or misleading. According to the plaintiffs, FIS was actually struggling with the Worldpay integration — the problems were worse than the company let on, and executives knew it. When the truth started coming out through a series of disclosures in August 2022, November 2022, and February 2023, the FIS stock price dropped significantly. Investors who bought at the inflated prices lost money.
FIS and its executives deny all allegations of wrongdoing. They say their statements were accurate and they acted in good faith. The court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of going to trial. FIS has agreed to pay $210 million in cash.

How Much Money Will I Get?
The estimated average recovery is approximately $0.42 per share before attorney fees and expenses, or about $0.32 per share after fees. These are only estimates — your actual payout could be more or less depending on when you bought FIS stock, how many shares you bought, whether and when you sold, and how many people file claims.Your payout is based on a formula that calculates your "recognized loss" for each share. The formula considers how much "artificial inflation" was in the stock price when you bought versus when you sold. In general, you have a bigger claim if you bought during the period of highest alleged inflation (May 2020 through August 3, 2022, when inflation was estimated at $35.73 per share) and held through the corrective disclosure dates when the stock dropped.
If you sold all your FIS stock before August 4, 2022 (before the first corrective disclosure), your recognized loss is zero and you will not receive a payment even if you file a claim.
The minimum payment is $10. If your calculated share comes to less than $10, you will not receive a distribution.
When Did the Stock Price Drop? (Key Dates)
The lawsuit identifies three dates when corrective information reached the market and the stock price declined:• August 4, 2022 — first partial corrective disclosure
• November 3, 2022 — second partial corrective disclosure
• February 13, 2023 — final corrective disclosure (information began leaking after market close on February 10, 2023)
You must have held FIS stock through at least one of these dates to have a compensable loss. If you bought and sold entirely between disclosure dates without holding through one, your recognized loss is zero.
What Do I Need to File?
You need to submit a completed claim form along with documentation showing the dates and prices of your FIS stock purchases and sales during the class period (May 7, 2020 through February 10, 2023). This includes brokerage account statements, trade confirmations, or transaction records. Contact your broker if you need copies.What Are the Important Dates?
