Something interesting is happening on the New York Stock Exchange. A cluster of listed companies are posting the kind of financial results that make Wall Street sit up and pay attention: revenue growth approaching 50% year over year, and in some cases, free cash flow multiplying by a factor of ten.
The numbers behind the surge
Among the standout performers, Zeta Global (NYSE: ZETA) posted Q1 2026 revenue of $396 million, representing approximately 50% growth compared to the same period last year. The company’s free cash flow climbed 48% to $42 million.
For the truly jaw-dropping cash flow numbers, look at AngloGold Ashanti. The mining giant reported a near-tenfold increase in free cash flow to $942 million in its Q4 2024 results.
Then there’s Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the NYSE itself. ICE reported Q1 2026 net revenues of $3.0 billion, a 20% increase year over year. Its adjusted free cash flow hit $1.15 billion, up from $833 million in the prior quarter.
