ISG (Information Services Group)

ISG's improved product & services mix is driving our sequential profit growth🌱📈 As we announce our #2Q24 earnings, Michael Connors, ISG chairman and CEO says, "ISG delivered sequentially stronger results in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was up more than 60% and adjusted EBITDA margin was up 400 basis points, driven by an improved product and services mix. Though clients continue to delay the start of new initiatives and extend their spending over longer periods, our pipeline is strong, and with inflation easing and the prospect of interest rate cuts on the horizon, we anticipate demand picking up again late this year.” 📰 Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/evFWC_6S #earnings #aboutISG
