Over the last few months, Clarivate has mixed financial and AI-driven product milestones. Q1 2026 earnings on Apr 29 delivered revenue of $585.5M, Adjusted EBITDA of $241.2M and reaffirmed full‑year guidance, with shares rising 13.94%.

Today’s new AI-native research platform extends that ongoing AI product theme.
