ExlService Holdings stock (ISIN US3020811044) was trading at EUR 31.64 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 1:15 p.m. CEST, down 0.25 percent versus the prior close of EUR 31.72. Congress Asset Management increased its ExlService stake by 6.4 percent on October 7, 2026, acquiring 32,562 shares, according to MarketBeat.
Three milestones shape the story
On July 28, 2026, ExlService reported second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 594.76 million and earnings per share of USD 0.59, versus USD 0.55 expected, according to MarketBeat. On September 17, 2026, second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue was reported at USD 595 million, up 16.00 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share rose 22.00 percent to USD 0.59, according to ScanX News. On October 7, 2026, Congress Asset Management reported a 6.4 percent increase in its ExlService position, taking ownership to 537,766 shares.
What does the guidance imply for growth
The second-quarter figures support a business still expanding faster than its most recent fiscal-year base. ExlService raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to USD 2.39 billion to USD 2.415 billion from USD 2.30 billion to USD 2.33 billion, while adjusted earnings per share guidance stood at USD 2.25 to USD 2.29, according to ScanX News. The comparison matters because the higher revenue range represents a USD 90 million to USD 85 million increase at the lower and upper ends, respectively, while the guidance range keeps adjusted earnings per share above USD 2.25.
The institutional move adds a separate ownership signal. Congress Asset Management held 537,766 shares worth USD 18.49 million after the purchase, while institutional investors collectively owned 92.92 percent of the company, according to MarketBeat. That concentration makes the stock sensitive to changes in institutional positioning even as operating growth remains the central fundamental measure.
Next date is October 27
The next reported earnings date is October 27, 2026, according to ToAlpha. The date will give investors a fresh test of the USD 2.39 billion to USD 2.415 billion revenue outlook and the USD 2.25 to USD 2.29 adjusted earnings per share range.
