Broadridge Partners with Payward for Web3 Voting on Tokenized Equities
BR sits 24% above its 52-week low of $133.831.
Summary
Broadridge is partnering with Payward to bring Web3 voting to holders of xStocks tokenized equities, integrating its governance platform with blockchain-based authentication. This follows last week's strong Q4 results, 12% dividend hike, and $1.5B buyback authorization. The partnership extends Broadridge's digital asset capabilities, building on its earlier Ondo Finance deal for tokenized fund governance. Analyst reactions were positive: RBC raised its target to $225, Morgan Stanley to $176. The move positions Broadridge at the intersection of traditional proxy services and decentralized finance, potentially opening a new revenue stream as tokenized securities gain traction.
At the time of this announcement, BR was trading at $166.50 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $19B. The 52-week trading range was $133.83 to $271.91.
