Broadridge Financial beats quarterly profit view on robust demand for mainstay businesses
(Reuters) -Fintech firm Broadridge Financial reported fourth-quarter profit above Wall Street estimates on Tuesday, helped by demand for its investor communication offerings and global technology businesses. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Broadridge is one of the largest investor communication and technology services provider in the U.S. to banks, broker-dealers, and other financial institutions. It plays a critical role in enabling proxy voting, trade processing, and regulatory compliance. The company's two mainstay businesses are investor communication solutions, which account for the majority of its revenue, and global technology and operations. Investor communication solutions engage in distribution of proxy materials and other corporate communication. The global technology and operations unit offers products such as desktop productivity tools, portfolio management, cash management, clearance and settlement. CONTEXT The Lake Success, New York-based company, benefited from steady demand for proxy communications from companies to shareholders ahead of annual meetings. It has also been increasingly leaning on growth in its digital wealth and market infrastructure platforms, as volatile markets and revived deal activity boost client need for real-time data and analytics. KEY QUOTE "We are on track to deliver again on our three-year top- and bottom-line growth objectives," said CEO Tim Gokey. Broadridge targets 7–9% recurring revenue CAGR and 8–12% adjusted EPS CAGR over fiscal years 2024 to 2026. BY THE NUMBERS Broadridge posted adjusted earnings per share of $3.55 for the three months ended June 30, compared with analysts' average estimate of $3.50, according to data compiled by LSEG. Revenue at its investor communication solutions unit grew 5% to $1.60 billion. The global technology and operations segment also saw a 12% revenue jump to $464.7 million. The company announced fiscal 2026 guidance of 5-7% recurring revenue growth constant currency and 8-12% adjusted EPS growth. Total revenue for the quarter increased 6% to $2.07 billion.

Fox Sees Q4 Profit Rise on Fox News, Tubi Results
Fox Corp. said high ratings at Fox News Channel and growing advertiser interest at its Tubi streaming service bolstered performance in its fiscal fourth quarter, with the company's focus on live programming, sports and news shielding it from some of the challenges its rivals are facing in an era when more consumers are using on-demand broadband for more of their video entertaiment. The owner of the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports said revenue in the period rose 6%, or $195 million, to $3.29 billion, largely on the strength of advertiser interest in Tubi and Fox News. Ad revenues rose 7% during the period, Fox said, while affiliate revenue rose 3%. More from Variety Fox Corp. Races to Collect Creators Before Rivals Can Do the Same Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales Near 6 Million Apple Services Revenue Grows 13% to New Record, Earnings Massively Beat Street Amid Trump Tariff Uncertainty 'We remain confident that our focused strategy, leadership position in key verticals and strong balance sheet will continue to deliver value to all shareholders,' Lachlan Murdoch, Fox's CEO, said in a statement. Fox said its fourth quarter net income came to $717 million, or $1.57 per share, compared with $319 million, or $.68 per share, in the year-earlier period. Excluding items, Fox reported adjusted earnings of $581 million, or $1.27 per share. While Disney, NBCUniversal and others have put many of their resources toward building out new streaming venues, Fox has maintained a hold in the linear world, still focused on drawing large, simultaneous audiences to everything from IndyCar racing to Greg Gutfeld's 10 p.m. program on Fox News Channel each weekday night. To be sure, Fox has launched streaming outlets, including Tubi and Fox Nation, but they are largely seen as complementary to the company's linear outlets — not a substitute for them. Those dynamics may be set to change. Fox intends to unveil a new streaming outlet, Fox One, in the next few weeks. The service will make its linear sports and news offerings — as well as other content — available via streaming, though Murdoch has said the company's intent is to court audiences who do not already have subscriptions to cable or satellite services and otherwise might not watch Fox programming. Revenue from Fox's cable networks rose 7%, or $94 million,. to $1.53 billion, owing to a $20 million hike in affiliate fees and a $50 million increase in advertising. Fox said it also saw $24 million in revenue from other sources, including Fox Nation subscriptions. Revenue from traditional TV operations rose 6%, or $92 million, to $1.71 billion. Fox said ad revenue rose $21 million, citing 'continued digital growth' at Tubi. Affiliate fees rose $29 million during the period.
