SEC E-Delivery Rule Proposal
BROADRIDGE FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, INC. · 2026-08-04 · Importance 47 · Surprise 60 · In source text
The SEC issued a proposal that would allow institutions to shift the default for client communications from physical mail to digital. Broadridge expects no financial impact in fiscal 2027 because of the implementation timeline, followed by a modest recurring-revenue headwind over two to three years as clients adopt the rule. Management expects lower pass-through distribution revenue to improve reported adjusted operating margins and believes new digital communication solutions will largely offset the recurring-revenue pressure. The final rule is expected in the coming months, and Broadridge is positioning its Wealth InFocus platform to support both digital and residual print communications.
