FIS paused share repurchases and tuck-in acquisitions to prioritize debt reduction following its previous acquisition activity. The company maintained its quarterly dividend at $0.44 per share. Management’s capital-allocation priority is deleveraging while preserving the dividend. The pause applies to buybacks and incremental tuck-in M&A rather than the company’s ongoing operating investments.
