SS&C Technologies Holdings (SSNC) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and SS&C Technologies published the results on October 22, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. SS&C Technologies reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and Adjusted diluted EPS, which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• From 2026 SS&C calls its main revenue line Technology-enabled services. The same line was labelled Software-enabled services in its 2025 releases.
• GAAP net income fell even though revenue and operating income rose, because SS&C recorded a $47.6 million adjustment to decrease the carrying value of its investment in Orbit Private Investments L.P., an unconsolidated affiliate.

How SS&C Technologies splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• SS&C Technologies's Technology-enabled services revenue was $1.4 billion in Q3 2026, up 11% from $1.3 billion in Q3 2025, 86% of total revenue.
• SS&C Technologies's License, maintenance and related revenue was $241 million in Q3 2026, down 7% from $259 million in Q3 2025, 14% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

We do not hold a confirmed date for SS&C Technologies's next report. Companies post the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the conference call.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 22, 2026

SS&C Technologies had GAAP revenue of $1,690.0 million in Q3 2026, up 7.8%. Technology-enabled services, where SS&C runs fund administration, transfer agency and other operations for clients on its own software, brought in $1,448.6 million, up 10.6%. License, maintenance and related revenue fell 6.7% to $241.4 million, and perpetual license sales within it dropped to $1.7 million from $13.2 million. (SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; SS&C Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026)

Of the $122.0 million revenue increase, SS&C attributes $80.9 million to organic growth, led by its SS&C GlobeOp fund administration and Global Investor and Distribution Solutions businesses, $39.4 million to acquisitions and $1.7 million to currency. Adjusted organic revenue growth was 5.2%. (SS&C Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026; SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

SS&C's supplemental slides break organic growth out by business. In Q3 2026 GlobeOp grew 9.0% on a 2025 revenue base of $1.77 billion, GIDS and related 6.3% on $1.60 billion, Intralinks 6.3% and Healthcare 8.5%. Wealth and Investment Technologies grew 1.9%, and Intelligent Automation & Analytics, which includes Blue Prism, declined 4.5%. (SS&C Q3 2026 earnings presentation (Exhibit 99.2), Oct 22, 2026)

The United States provided $1,090.3 million of Q3 2026 revenue, the United Kingdom $206.5 million, the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Africa $160.8 million and Asia-Pacific $117.3 million. In 2025, 67% of SS&C's revenue came from U.S. clients, its top 10 clients were about 15% of revenue, and no single client was more than 5%. (SS&C Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026; SS&C Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 26, 2026)

SS&C Technologies' GAAP diluted EPS was $0.83 in Q3 2026, the same as a year earlier, while adjusted diluted EPS rose 14.8% to $1.78. The adjusted figure adds back $165.1 million of amortization of intangible assets, $62.1 million of stock-based compensation and $13.8 million of facilities and workforce restructuring, and is taxed at a non-GAAP rate of 22.5%. (SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

GAAP net income fell to $198.9 million from $210.0 million because equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was a loss of $47.7 million, almost all of it a $47.6 million adjustment to decrease the carrying value of one investment, Orbit Private Investments L.P. SS&C excludes that line from adjusted EPS. The GAAP effective tax rate rose to 22.8% from 17.1%, which SS&C put down mainly to smaller windfall tax benefits from stock awards. (SS&C Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026; SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026)

Diluted weighted average shares fell to 240.6 million from 252.6 million. SS&C bought back 1.9 million shares for $154.8 million in the quarter, at an average price of $79.95, paid $70.5 million in dividends and raised its annual dividend to $1.20 per share in August. (SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; SS&C Q3 2026 earnings presentation (Exhibit 99.2), Oct 22, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

SS&C Technologies publishes a guidance table in each release. For Q4 2026 it guided adjusted revenue of $1,700 million to $1,740 million, with 4.0% organic growth at the midpoint, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.88 to $1.94. (SS&C Q3 2026 release, Oct 22, 2026; SS&C Q3 2026 earnings presentation (Exhibit 99.2), Oct 22, 2026)

For full year 2026 SS&C narrowed its adjusted revenue range to $6,736 million to $6,776 million from $6,672 million to $6,832 million in July, raising the midpoint to $6,756 million from $6,752 million. Adjusted diluted EPS guidance moved to $7.11 to $7.17 from $6.93 to $7.25. SS&C does not reconcile this guidance to GAAP.

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover SS&C Technologies, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones SS&C Technologies's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning SSNC is on is SSNC a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the SSNC forecast, and what the company does is on the SS&C Technologies Holdings (SSNC) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document SS&C Technologies published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
