Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR) has grabbed fresh attention after reporting very large repo volumes on its Distributed Ledger Repo platform in December 2025, alongside a new AI focused partnership with DeepSee.
For you as an investor, those two developments sit at the intersection of Broadridge’s core strengths in post trade processing and two high interest themes: tokenized settlement and applied AI. They also arrive after a period where the share price lagged the wider market, which raises questions about how much value these efforts could add over time.
See our latest analysis for Broadridge Financial Solutions.
Broadridge’s recent AI partnership with DeepSee and the strong December activity on its Distributed Ledger Repo platform come after a softer patch for the stock, with a 30 day share price return of 4.43% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 3.6%. The 3 year total shareholder return of 57.11% suggests the longer term story has, so far, been much stronger than the more recent pullback.
If you are interested in how themes like AI and automation are shaping other parts of the market, this is a good moment to broaden your search with high growth tech and AI stocks.
So with Broadridge’s shares slipping over the past year, yet trading below both analyst targets and certain intrinsic value estimates, is this weakness setting up an opportunity, or is the market already factoring in the next phase of growth?
Broadridge’s most followed valuation narrative pegs fair value at US$269.38 per share, above the last close of US$218.64, which puts the current price at a clear discount based on those assumptions.
“The company’s increasing share of SaaS and recurring subscription models, combined with consistently high client retention rates (97–98%), is enhancing the predictability and resilience of revenues and earnings, and positioning Broadridge for sustainable EPS growth and ongoing dividend increases.
Broadridge’s leadership in secure, scalable, and innovative transaction processing (including blockchain/tokenization and AI-enabled platforms like OpsGPT and distributed ledger repo solutions) aligns with financial institutions’ growing focus on security and the modernization of back-office operations, enabling new product launches, increasing switching costs, and supporting revenue growth and improved operating margins.”
Read the complete narrative.
Curious what kind of revenue growth, margin profile and future P/E it takes to justify that higher fair value and still keep a relatively modest discount rate?
Result: Fair Value of $269.38 (UNDERVALUED)

However, there are still clear risks, including pressure from competitors in capital markets offerings and the potential drag from lower, less repeatable event driven revenues.
Find out about the key risks to this Broadridge Financial Solutions narrative.
The narrative you have just read leans on a fair value estimate that suggests Broadridge is 18.8% undervalued. Yet on simple earnings multiples, the picture is less clear. At a P/E of 27.6x, the shares sit above the US Professional Services industry average of 24.9x and above the peer average of 20.9x.
That is also higher than the fair ratio of 26.6x, which is the level our regression work suggests the market could move toward. For you, that gap can mean paying up for perceived quality, or taking on valuation risk if expectations tighten. Which story feels closer to how you see Broadridge?
