Key risks (from latest filing)
["Dependence on institutional investor demand for analytics and indexing services, which is sensitive to market conditions and asset flows","Significant intangible assets and goodwill ($3.8 billion combined as of Q1 2026) create impairment risk if market valuations or organic growth decline","High debt load ($6.4 billion long-term debt at Q1 2026) relative to equity position limits financial flexibility and increases refinancing risk"]
