TURNAROUND CHALLENGES

** TD Cowen ("hold," PT: $64) says the exit is "clearly unexpected so soon after taking the seat and post its May investor day"

** Adds Lyons' short tenure at FISV may raise questions around turnaround challenge

** Raymond James ("market perform") says abrupt transition and its timing a month after investor day is surprising, raising doubts that the turnaround may take longer than expected

** Morningstar ("narrow-moat," PT: $115) says Georgakopoulos is a good choice as a long-time insider would be a poor choice, given the company's history

** J.P. Morgan ("neutral," PT: $75) says the job has become very different than what Lyons signed up for in May 2025
