Broadridge is executing well on its growth strategy in governance, capital markets and wealth management. On the governance front, it is utilizing the next generation of digital communications and enhancing print and mail services through advanced technology. In capital markets, Broadridge continues to develop its global platform capabilities and use next-generation solutions to improve its offerings. On the wealth management front, Broadridge has developed a comprehensive wealth management platform that offers top-notch systems and data integration capabilities and enables clients.

Increasing presence in EMEA and APAC through the Itiviti acquisition has boosted Broadridge’s global technology and operations segment. The segment's revenues increased 5% year over year in fiscal 2023. Itiviti is an effective strategic fit for the company’s capital market franchise and contributes significantly to its international revenue growth.

The recent acquisition of AdvisorTarget is expected to expand Broadridge’s capabilities in digital distribution and marketing for asset management and wealth firms, thereby strengthening the company’s market position and driving growth in the digital marketing space. The buyout will bolster the company's suite of tools, combining AdvisorTarget’s advanced marketing automation and analytics technology.

Broadridge has a consistent track record of dividend payments. In fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, it paid $331.0 million, $290.7 million and $261.7 million in dividends, respectively. Such moves indicate the company’s commitment to return value to shareholders and underline its confidence in business. We are expecting steady growth in income, which will translate to steady cash flow, enabling Broadridge to pay out stable dividends. Partly due to these positives, the company’s shares have gained 24.8% over the past year.

Some Risks

Client concentration is a major risk for Broadridge. It primarily serves clients in the financial services industry. In each of its fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, the largest single client accounted for roughly 7%, 7% and 6% of the company's consolidated revenues, respectively.

Broadridge is heavily exposed to the securities industry (including brokerages and asset managers). A material downturn in the markets will likely have a negative bearing on this industry and affect the company’s business.
