AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 29, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. EXL reported Q2 2026 revenue of $594.8M, up 15.6% YoY, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.59, up 22.3% YoY, and raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $2.390B–$2.415B and adjusted EPS guidance to $2.25–$2.29, partly reflecting the pending iMerit acquisition. Management also flagged higher second-half investments that will pressure adjusted operating margin, with SG&A as a percent of revenue up 170 bps YoY to 20.9%.

Bullish
  • + Raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $2.390B–$2.415B (14%–16% growth) and adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $2.25–$2.29 (16%–18% growth).
  • + Q2 revenue grew 15.6% YoY to $594.8M and adjusted diluted EPS grew 22.3% YoY to $0.59.
  • + Data and AI-led revenue accelerated to 30% YoY growth and now represents 61% of revenue.
  • + Strong segment growth led by Healthcare and Life Sciences up 22% YoY and International Growth Markets up 16.3% YoY.
  • + Announced acquisition of iMerit, expanding capabilities in AI model training/evaluation and adding foundation-model clients.
  • + Returned $179M to shareholders via buybacks in 1H26, including 4.15M shares under an ASR.
Bearish
  • − SG&A as a percent of revenue increased 170 bps YoY to 20.9%, driven by higher front-end sales and support investments.
  • − Management guided adjusted operating margin will be lower in 2H26 vs. 1H26 due to stepped-up investments.
  • − Reported digital operations revenue declined ~1.5% YoY as work migrates into the Data and AI-led category.
  • − iMerit acquisition carries a marginal ~$0.01 dilutive impact to full-year adjusted EPS guidance.
