Our note on each quarter Clarivate files

10-Q filed November 3: Clarivate PLC

Clarivate's revenue reached $2.56bn in the twelve months to September 2026, a 6.4% rise on the prior year and an acceleration from the 4.5% growth recorded a quarter earlier. Profitability moved the other way, with the free-cash-flow margin slipping to 12.6% from 13.9% a year before. Meanwhile, the diluted share count has shrunk by 6.2% over the same period, which boosts the claim each remaining share has on the business. Taken together, these shifts leave our cash-flow model value at $0.87 a share, well below the current price of $1.66.

Our model value for Clarivate is under review, so past values are not shown until it is resolved.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~November 3, 2026 (estimated)

Clarivate PLC's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 6.4% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 12.6%.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$0.9 per share in the base case (—–$3.3 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Operating margin compressing: TTM operating margin fell to -2.9%, down 1.6pp year over year.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 6.2% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.
  • Estimates rising. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has risen 5.0% over 90 days.

Things to watch

  • Loss-making. Operating margin is -2.9%: costs exceed revenue.
  • High debt. Long-term debt exceeds cash by $3.9bn, more than 1.5 times annual revenue.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 76% and a beta of 0.7 against the S&P 500.
  • Heavily shorted. 13.3% of the shares available to trade are sold short (11.4 days of average volume to cover).

Valuation models

Moat

49 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Clarivate's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 8 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

    Cash operating profit has been a median 7.5% of total assets over 6 years.

  • Pricing power 20 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 65.9%, moving by 0.9 percentage points (standard deviation) across 6 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -5.7%; its worst year was -165.5%.

  • Cash conversion 17 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 7 of 7 years, at a median 13.9% of revenue.

  • Discipline 8 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 85.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 3.3% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: High. In this industry, the core product is information work that AI systems increasingly perform. The score above includes a 15-point deduction for that exposure (64 before it).
