BROADRIDGE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS INC. (New York symbol BR; www.broadridge.com) serves the investment industry in three main areas: investor communications, securities processing, and transaction clearing.
Broadridge is best known for processing and distributing proxies and regulatory filings for nearly every publicly traded U.S. company and mutual fund, both electronically and by surface mail. That segment comprises about three-quarters of the company’s annual revenue. Fees are tied to the volume of communications that Broadridge delivers—a surge of interest from individual investors in the last few years has led to a wider group of investors holding more stocks and funds. That translates into increased business for Broadridge.
The company also has other businesses providing software to handle back-office functions for money managers, broker-dealers, and other capital markets institutions. That work includes trade processing, record-keeping, accounting, and more.
Broadridge often makes acquisitions that enhance its expertise or presence in niche markets.
For instance, in September 2025, Broadridge bought iJoin. That firm is a retirement plan technology provider that specializes in solutions for participants’ onboarding, engagement, and analytics.
The acquisition combined Broadridge’s existing retirement plan with iJoin’s technology. The new, combined capabilities are aimed at assisting various providers in the retirement market, such as record keepers, financial advisors, asset managers, and insurers, in offering enhanced and more personalized tools for retirement plan participants.

Meanwhile, in January 2026, Broadridge completed the acquisition of Acolin, a leading European provider of cross-border fund distribution and regulatory services. The purchase price has not yet been disclosed.
Acolin, based in Zurich, is a specialized distribution support provider with over 350 clients and access to over 3,000 distributors across over 30 countries. Rather than connecting directly with multiple fund platforms and distributors to access regional European markets, asset managers engage Acolin to access many platforms and distributors, and centrally manage distributor data, contracts, commissions, and compliance needs. Acolin supports fund registrations, legal representation, and ongoing compliance across Europe on behalf of its clients.
Acolin extends Broadridge’s services in Europe, expands its regulatory fund communications services to include additional compliance operations, integrates capabilities to support fund creation and broadens its distribution insights to better support the needs of European and global asset managers.
Broadridge offers great combo of high growth, low p/e and solid yield
Broadridge continues to sign new clients to long-term contracts, which cuts its risk.
Revenue in the quarter ended March 31, 2026, rose 7.8%, to $1.95 billion from $1.81 billion a year earlier. Excluding one-time items, earnings per share rose 11.5%, to $2.72 from $2.44.
The shares trade at a reasonable 15.6 times the $9.69 a share Broadridge is forecast to make in 2026. The forecast reflects its strong growth prospects. As well, with the October 2025 payment, the company raised your quarterly dividend by 10.8%. Investors now receive $0.975 a share instead of $0.88. The new annual rate of $3.90 yields 2.6%.
