Action:ReiteratedDate:04/28/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (high margins, very low leverage, strong ROE) and a positive earnings outlook with record sales events and continued margin expansion. Valuation is reasonable at ~13.7x earnings with a modest yield. Technicals remain bullish but appear overbought (RSI ~73, Stoch ~85), adding some near-term pullback risk.
Positive Factors
Recurring platform & outsourcing revenue
SEI's core business is contract-based platform and operations fees that scale with client accounts and activity. That recurring, service-driven revenue provides durable cash flow, high client stickiness and predictable revenue even when asset markets ebb, supporting multi-quarter stability.
Negative Factors
2025 cash conversion deterioration
Despite strong reported profitability, a collapse in 2025 operating cash flow and negative free cash flow indicates weak cash conversion. That undermines near-term liquidity for buybacks/reinvestment and raises the risk that earnings are less cash-backed until conversion normalizes or the cause is resolved.

SEI Investments Company Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Apr 22, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call conveyed strong, broad-based operational execution: double-digit adjusted EPS growth, a record quarter of net sales events (driven by large IMS enterprise mandates), improved adjusted operating profits and margin expansion, robust share repurchases and continued asset momentum (Advisors inflows and AUA/platform +4%). Near-term headwinds include a sequential EPS decline driven by tax and LSV seasonality (~$0.15), IMS margin drag from onboarding costs and the absence of a prior accrual true-up (~150 bps), LSV outflows (~$2B) and one-time consolidation impacts from Stratos (intangible amortization). Management framed AI and the IBM partnership as net positives and expects the large IMS wins to expand revenues over time, though they will create some lumpiness and near-term margin pressure. Taken together, the positives (record sales, double-digit EPS and operating profit growth, margin expansion and disciplined capital return) substantially outweigh the near-term and manageable lowlights.Positive Updates
Adjusted EPS and Earnings Growth
Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.44, up more than 20% year-over-year (Sean: adjusted EPS +21% YoY; GAAP EPS +20% YoY). Adjusted operating income increased versus the prior quarter and drove meaningful EPS expansion.
Negative Updates
Sequential EPS Headwinds
Adjusted EPS declined sequentially versus Q4 as expected due to a higher effective tax rate and lower investment income and performance fees from LSV; collectively these below-the-line items imposed a ~ $0.15 headwind to EPS versus Q4.

Company Guidance
Management guided that momentum should continue: they expect sales events to trend up year‑over‑year after Q1’s record $67M of net sales events ($57M recurring, $10M professional services) led by IMS’ >$50M, with the large IMS wins ramping revenue over coming quarters and margins for those deals normalizing by mid‑2027 (year‑one revenue/expense roughly flat); they expect institutional flows to be net‑positive later this year after Q1’s < $1B institutional outflow (driven by a DB annuitization), and Asset Management posted ~$1.5B of net inflows in Q1 while AUA/on‑platform rose 4%. On profitability they reiterated confidence in continued margin expansion after Q1 adjusted EPS of $1.44 (+21% YoY; GAAP EPS +20% YoY), adjusted operating profit +24% YoY (+6% sequentially) and noted a $0.15 EPS headwind versus Q4 from tax/LSV seasonality; capital allocation commentary included $208M of repurchases in Q1, $363M of cash on the balance sheet, and a commitment to remain active buyers. Stratos (first full quarter) contributed ~ $20M revenue / $3M operating profit (~$8M consolidated EBITDA ex‑D&A), 1/3 of Professional Services sales events were international, and SEI reiterated that these initiatives support continued growth and margin improvement.SEI Investments Company Financial Statement Overview
