Strong Financial Performance: Broadridge reported a 7% increase in recurring revenue for fiscal year 2025 (FY25) and an 11% growth in adjusted EPS, aligning with long-term financial objectives. For fiscal year 2026 (FY26), the company anticipates steady growth, projecting recurring revenue growth of 5% to 7% and adjusted EPS growth of 8% to 12%.
Sales and Backlog Growth: Closed sales reached $288 million in FY25, with a strong backlog of $430 million, providing visibility into future revenue growth.
