Insights From Analysts:
According to the analysts at BlackRock, the weight of non-U.S. equities in global equity indexes has been on the rise since the end of January. This is caused by the policy uncertainty, which has shaken the investor belief in the U.S. growth and equity strength, pulling the S&amp;P 500 down more than 3%, the note added.
&#8220;The selloff has been exacerbated by investors rapidly pulling out of popular trades – like the tech-heavy momentum equity style factor and cyclical trades that were betting on a boost from growth from potential U.S. deregulation and tax cuts.&#8221;
&#8220;We stay overweight U.S. stocks on a six- to 12-month tactical horizon. Yet prolonged uncertainty could hurt both U.S. and global risk assets,&#8221; the note adds.
Meanwhile, as the uncertainty around tariffs mounts, Michael Townsend, managing director of legislative and regulatory affairs with Schwab, said that &#8220;The White House has been sending mixed signals.&#8221;
&#8220;First, saying that they would be imposed on all countries, then more recently saying they will initially focus on 10 to 15 countries with which the U.S. has big trade deficits. The plan also was to announce tariffs on automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors next week, but those reportedly will be delayed. The uncertainty is driving companies and investors crazy.&#8221;

Our non-GAAP outlook for three months ending April 30, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026 excludes the following GAAP measure which we are able to quantify with reasonable certainty:
<ul>
<li>Amortization of intangible assets of approximately $6 million and $24 million, for the three months ending April 30, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026, respectively.</li>
</ul>
Our non-GAAP outlook for the three months ending April 30, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026 excludes the following GAAP measures for which we are able to provide a range of probable significance:
<ul>
<li>Stock-based compensation expenses are expected to be between approximately $14 million and $17 million, and $64 million and $69 million, for the three months ending April 30, 2025 and year ending January 31, 2026, respectively, assuming market prices for our common stock approximately consistent with current levels.</li>
</ul>
Our non-GAAP outlook does not include the potential impact of any in-process business acquisitions that may close after the date hereof, and, unless otherwise specified, reflects foreign currency exchange rates approximately consistent with current rates.
We are unable, without unreasonable efforts, to provide a reconciliation for other GAAP measures which are excluded from our non-GAAP outlook, including the impact of future business acquisitions or acquisition expenses, future restructuring expenses, and non-GAAP income tax adjustments due to the level of unpredictability and uncertainty associated with these items. For these same reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of these excluded items. While historical results may not be indicative of future results, actual amounts for the three months and year ended January 31, 2025 and 2024 for the GAAP measures excluded from our non-GAAP outlook appear in Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this press release.

Guidance

Verint Systems Sees FY26 EPS $2.93 At Midpoint Vs $3.11 Est.; Revenue $960M +/- 3% Vs $974.68M Est.
