For the year, it is 9.27% higher.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s decent growth for the past 12-month period, but there is one stock that has far outpaced the index and shot up significantly faster.<\/p>\n<p>The Bravura Solutions Ltd (<a class=\"tickerized-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com.au\/tickers\/asx-bvs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ASX: BVS<\/a>) share price has risen an impressive 125.26% year on year. The majority of growth (54.6%) has happened in the past month. For today alone, the share price has jumped 10.54% higher and is changing hands at $3.295 a piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Why is the ASX 200 share storming higher? <\/p>\n<p>Investors have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com.au\/2025\/10\/02\/why-bravura-dateline-orthocell-and-race-oncology-shares-are-storming-higher\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">buying<\/a> the shares of the wealth management software solutions provider this week following its latest guidance update.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Bravura said it expects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com.au\/2025\/10\/01\/this-billion-dollar-software-firms-shares-just-jumped-more-than-20-on-a-profit-upgrade\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FY26 revenue<\/a> to be between $265 million and $275 million, which is ahead of last year&#8217;s $256.8 million result. The business cites the continued strength of the British pound, higher project revenue, and continued focus on operational efficiency for the uplift. <\/p>\n<p>The company also upgraded its EBITDA guidance to between $55 million and $65 million. This is higher than its FY25 result of $50 million. <\/p>\n<p>And now Macquarie Group Ltd (<a class=\"tickerized-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com.au\/tickers\/asx-mqg\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ASX: MQG<\/a>) has updated its guidance on the ASX 200 share.<\/p>\n<p> Macquarie&#8217;s outlook for Bravura shares <\/p>\n<p>In a recent note to investors, the broker confirmed its neutral stance on Bravura shares. It also raised its target price to $3.02. Macquarie&#8217;s latest guidance was for $2.03 in August. <\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, the new target price represents a potential downside of 8.3% over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Valuation: TP raised to $3.02 (from $2.03), reflecting upgrades. We have also removed the discount we applied to the terminal growth assumption, to reflect ongoing performance,&#8221; Macquarie analysts said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Neutral. While we have upgraded earnings and our target price, the share price movement ahead of the update and in reaction to the release captures is in-line with our valuation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> What else did Macquarie have to say? <\/p>\n<p>The broker said that the initial FY26 guidance noted that underlying revenue growth was expected to be driven by existing customers in EMEA and APAC and cross-sell opportunities in tandem with some new business wins. But added that no new customer wins were announced with the trading update. <\/p>\n<p>Macquarie also said that the guidance upgrade comes despite a &#8220;drag from customer exits announced in 2022, that have remained clients&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of three customer exits disclosed in Nov 2022 was expected to complete migration to a BPO by 1 Jan 2026. This customer generated A$10m revenue in FY25 and was not part of the reported FY25 attrition. This implies ~$5m FY26 revenue headwind. One of the other three customer exits from 2022 remains a client.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also, exits or reductions in FY25 were expected to have a further 2.5% (or A$6.5m) revenue headwind in FY26.<\/p>\n<p>Macquarie added: &#8220;While the upgrade calls out continued GBP strength, since guidance was issued at the result, the GBP has actually slightly weakened vs the AUD.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image source: Getty Images The S&amp;P\/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is climbing higher today, up 1.27% at the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156973,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[64,63,99,8428,51564,7037,7038,7039,7040,118678,8430],"class_list":{"0":"post-185915","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-category-brokers","12":"tag-category-tech-shares","13":"tag-partner-feeds-msn-9","14":"tag-partner-feeds-newstex","15":"tag-partner-feeds-sharesight","16":"tag-partner-feeds-webull","17":"tag-tickers_global-asx-bvs","18":"tag-tickers_global-asx-mqg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185915"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185915\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
