Q2 Revenue Beats by 4.2% on AI Demand; $30M Buyback Expansion
III is trading near its 52-week low of $3.74 (14% above the low).
Summary
Information Services Group delivered a strong Q2, with revenue of $65.5M beating the $62.86M consensus by 4.2%. Adjusted EBITDA of $9.4M and adjusted net income of $5M also topped estimates. The beat was driven by record recurring revenue from AI-centered research and governance services, with Europe up 10% and the Americas up 7%. The company also expanded its share repurchase program by $30M, the largest in its history, signaling confidence. Q3 guidance calls for revenue of $63.5M-$64.5M and adjusted EBITDA of $8.5M-$9.5M, reflecting continued AI demand. This follows a strong Q1 beat reported in May, though the 10-Q later revealed negative operating cash flow and unresolved legal claims. The stock, at $4.26, trades at 11x forward earnings with a median analyst target of $7.00.
