Earnings Call Q1 2026

April 28, 2026 - AI Summary

Solid Q1 performance + margins up (core positives): Revenue +10% YoY (+9% organic constant currency). Subscription products +6%. Market-driven businesses showed strong resilience (notably Ratings +13%, Energy +7%, Indices +17%, Mobility +8%). Adjusted diluted EPS +14% YoY. Adjusted operating margin expanded +100 bps to 51.8%, and adjusted operating profit +12%—supported by disciplined expense management during rising macro volatility.
Guidance broadly reiterated at the enterprise level; Energy is the key downgrade: - Enterprise 2026 organic constant currency revenue growth reiterated: 6%–8%. - Enterprise margin expansion reiterated: 50–75 bps (excluding OSTTRA). - EPS guidance reiterated (slightly higher interest expense offset by lower share count from more repurchases). - Energy revised down: 4.5%–6% organic constant currency revenue growth (~1 percentage point lower than prior guidance) due to the Iran conflict disrupting demand and supply chains. Management assumes disruption persists through at least Q2, with reacceleration in H2.
Macro disruption specifics + what it means for bookings/issuance (good news vs risk): - Company expects Iran-related stabilization by end of Q2, but flags risk of a protracted conflict. - Near-term energy client demand suppressed; potential broader indirect hits to market-sensitive businesses depending on equity/credit conditions. - Issuance remained resilient in Q1: billed issuance +14% YoY (driven by investment grade and hyperscaler AI infrastructure CapEx). However, bank loan volumes down high-teens % from lapping a difficult Q1 2025 compare; spreads widened slightly (still below historical norms).
