SEI Investments hits record $107.07 as Q2 2026 earnings top estimates

SEI Investments Company’s shares hit an all-time high of $107.07 on Friday, extending gains that have pushed the stock 20.89% higher over the past year and nearly 31% in the last six months.

The milestone comes as the company reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.66 per share, surpassing Wall Street estimates of $1.42 per share. Revenue totaled $641.62 million, exceeding projections of $631.14 million and marking a 15% increase from the prior-year period to a record high.

Adjusted operating profit climbed 36%, while adjusted EPS rose 38%. Operating expenses increased by $34 million, offset by an $82 million revenue gain, driving a 500-basis-point expansion in the adjusted operating margin year-over-year and a 30-basis-point improvement from the first quarter.

SEI’s market capitalization stands at $12.8 billion, with the stock trading just 1% below its 52-week high of $107. The company has paid dividends for 39 consecutive years.

Growth was broad-based across most business segments, with particularly strong demand in alternatives and private banking. New opportunities in private markets, ETFs, Stratos, and data services also contributed to the performance, according to the company’s outlook.
