On August 5, 2025, Broadridge (BR) surged 6.79% with a trading volume of $420 million, a 77% increase from the previous day, ranking it 286th in market activity. The fintech firm reported Q4 fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings of $3.55 per share, exceeding estimates of $3.50, driven by robust demand for investor communication services and global technology solutions. Revenue rose 6% to $2.07 billion, with the Investor Communication Solutions segment growing 5% to $1.6 billion and the Global Technology and Operations unit increasing 12% to $464.7 million. CEO Tim Gokey highlighted progress toward three-year growth targets, including 7–9% recurring revenue CAGR and 8–12% adjusted EPS CAGR through 2026.

Broadridge’s performance reflects sustained demand for proxy communications and digital wealth platforms amid volatile markets. The company raised its annual dividend 11% to $3.90 per share, marking the 19th consecutive increase, and announced a $70 million acquisition of Acolin Group to expand its European fund distribution network. Fiscal 2026 guidance includes 5–7% recurring revenue growth and 8–12% adjusted EPS growth. Strong operating margins, driven by cost discipline and strategic investments, supported earnings resilience despite rising expenses in technology and integration efforts.

A backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to 2025, outperforming the 29.18% benchmark by 137.53%. This highlights liquidity concentration’s role in short-term performance, particularly in high-volatility environments.
