FDC, as I see it, is perhaps the best positioned company to take advantage of the shift to electronic money, via more credit cards now, and later via smart cards and greatly expanded e commerce on the internet.

It seems to have a fairly stable revenue source, and growth has been pretty dependable, but it has just really been having a tough time over the past year. Part of the problem has been worries over the cost of upgrading to Year 2000 software, a slowdown in it's growth rate, and declining margins.

But nothing, as far as I know, is "wrong" with the company. It trades at a fairly high PE so I would not call it undervalued.

I own it because of what I said about it's position in the industry. Of all the stocks I have purchased in the past year this one has been the laggard. But I am still holding.
