Earnings Call Q2 2026
July 15, 2026 - AI Summary
Strong Q2 results + margin expansion (good / surprising):
- Revenue: $7.1B, +31% YoY
- Operating income: $2.9B, +39% YoY
- EPS: $13.91, +15% YoY (impacted by taxes, non-operating items, and higher share count tied to HPS closing)
- Operating margin: 45.9%, +260 bps YoY, highest in ~5 years
- Management emphasized this as on-track with a 45%+ adjusted operating margin objective.
Flows remain very strong; fee growth durable (good):
- Q2 net inflows: $192B (they also cited 8% organic base fee growth in Q2)
- Last 12 months: $868B net inflows, 10% organic base fee growth
- They framed the “durability” argument via two full years of above-target organic base fee growth.
- Flow mix highlights: ETFs and active ETFs strong; institutional and private markets contributors; some cash outflows from government funds (offsets inflows).
Capital return increased; buyback guidance raised (good / actionable):
- Share repurchases: $450M in Q2
- Updated repurchase expectation: at least $550M per quarter going forward (higher than prior January guidance)
- Total shareholder returns for 2026: dividends + buybacks > $5.7B, +16% vs 2025
- Message: they maintain “invest first, then return excess cash” framework with confidence in free cash flow growth.
