Broadridge opened fiscal 2026 with a quarter that exceeded internal expectations on nearly every dimension, prompting management to raise its recurring revenue outlook to the higher end of the 5%-7% constant-currency growth range while reaffirming 8%-12% adjusted EPS growth. Recurring revenues grew 8% constant currency, adjusted operating income margin expanded 280 basis points to 15.8%, and adjusted EPS surged 51% to $1.51, though that headline figure was materially inflated by $114 million in event-driven revenue, the second-highest quarterly total in company history, driven by a board election at a major mutual fund complex that had not held a proxy event since fiscal 2019. Management was explicit that event-driven revenue will revert to the $50-$60 million per quarter historical average for the remainder of the year, and guided Q2 adjusted EPS to represent only 13%-15% of the full-year outlook, a meaningful sequential step-down investors should model carefully.
