Revenue rose 22.8% to $5.9B, driven by 43 acquisitions including a $9.83B Accession purchase. The top-line surge is clearly acquisition-driven, but integration costs are weighing on margins and tempering the quality of the earnings gain. The deal cadence should expand scale but may delay margin recovery until integration synergies are realized.
