Foolish Take

The recent sale of 85,000 shares of Fiserv by American National Bank comes at a critical time for the fintech giant. Shares of Fiserv have slipped recently, and some investors, like American National Bank, appear to be looking for the exit. Here's what retail investors need to know.

Fiserv stock is near the bottom of its 52-week range, which signals that investors have lost confidence in the company. There are several items weighing on Fiserv, including a class-action lawsuit, a high amount of debt, and recent bearish analyst notes. In addition, the company is set to report earnings on October 29.

American National Bank's recent sale -- which represented an almost total liquidation of the firm's holdings of Fiserv -- demonstrates that some institutions are moving on from Fiserv, given its poor recent stock performance. Shares of the company are down 39% year-to-date.

For retail investors, institutional buys or sells should never be the only reason to buy or sell a stock. However, they can be a great starting point for average investors to build their own thesis about how a stock is performing.

In this case, Fiserv's ongoing legal troubles, combined with its high debt, and negative analyst sentiment spell out a compelling bear case for the stock. Retail investors should take note.
