Key catalyst

Q2 beat and FY2026 guidance raise • 2026-07-28

Base target: $86 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 34.8% from 35.7% year over year, while management continued to flag market uncertainty. The initial post-print price surge was not fully retained by the 2026-07-30 anchor, raising the risk that expectations already discount much of the improvement.

Invalidation

Break below $70 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

The Q2 beat, raised FY guidance, 10% organic constant-currency growth, stronger U.S. Financial Services performance, and OneTru migration progress support continued positive revisions. External coverage cited adjusted EPS of $1.23 versus $1.15 consensus and a FY revenue midpoint modestly above consensus.

Commentary

News tone is strongly positive after the Q2 beat and guidance raise, but social, options, short-interest, employee, and detailed analyst-revision data are unavailable rather than supportive. The reported initial premarket gain was followed by partial giveback by the 2026-07-30 anchor, so this is constructive but still a monitoring thesis.
