Bottom line
AI revenue reached 8.2% of the total, but growth must be assessed alongside pricing pressure. The revised 1.5%-3% constant-currency outlook includes about 1.7 percentage points from acquisitions. At the midpoint, subtracting that total contribution implies about 0.55% excluding acquisitions. That is our calculation and differs from the call's approximately 0.8-point incremental-acquisition discussion. Next quarter, watch whether AI growth offsets pricing concessions and whether management quantifies renewal compression.

The 30-second version

  • AI revenue share rises to 8.2%, but pricing pressure remains unquantified
  • Acquisitions support the revised 1.5%-3% growth outlook
  • AI-led deflation on the existing book is the binding constraint, and it's permanently off the record
