State Street has partnered with Neudata to scale its Data Intelligence capability, combining macroeconomic and market indicators with alternative datasets. The collaboration will be showcased through sponsored global data summits in 2026 across London, New York, Hong Kong and San Francisco. The partnership signals State Street's push to build an institutional-grade data intelligence business by embedding alternative data into investment workflows. However, the move does not appear to address immediate risks around fee compression or regulatory pressure. State Street's narrative projects $14.7 billion revenue and $3.5 billion earnings by 2028, requiring 3.3% annual revenue growth. The company recently affirmed its quarterly dividend of $0.84 per share whilst navigating regulatory requirements and capital constraints.
