ExlService Holdings (ISIN US3020811044) fell 2.00 percent to USD 35.75 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, with 2,914,822 shares changing hands. The move followed a filing that MarketBeat reported on October 2: officer Vikas Bhalla sold 11,000 shares for USD 389,180 on October 1.

Insider sale meets a weaker session

The transaction reduced Bhalla's position by 9.14 percent, according to MarketBeat. The same report placed EXLS volume at 2,914,822 shares and market capitalization at USD 5.42 billion on October 2, 2026.

The stock remained above its Nasdaq 52-week low of USD 24.85 but below the 52-week high of USD 43.88 on that session. That spread puts the reference price USD 8.13 below the high, leaving the chart position materially closer to the upper boundary than to the yearly floor.

Q2 growth beats expectations

ExlService's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 594.76 million, up 15.6 percent from the prior-year quarter, while EPS reached USD 0.59 versus a USD 0.55 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. The EPS beat was USD 0.04, while the revenue result exceeded the USD 573.94 million estimate by USD 20.82 million.

The operating picture is therefore stronger than the short-term price action suggests. ExlService also set fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at USD 2.25-2.29, giving investors a defined earnings benchmark for the next reporting cycle, as MarketBeat reported.

Consensus target stays above Nasdaq price

Seven analysts assign ExlService a Moderate Buy consensus, with six Buy ratings and one Hold rating. The average 12-month target is USD 44.50, which places the target 24.48 percent above the USD 35.75 reference price, according to MarketBeat.
