What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

Market data indicates that the latest quarter delivered earnings per share of $13.91 against a $12.69 consensus estimate, with revenue up 30.6% year on year to $7.08 billion. Asset managers' fee income is linked to market values, so supportive markets could help. If results continue to exceed expectations, analysts may feel more comfortable with their higher targets.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

Several brokers cut targets in the last week, which suggests that some analysts see less room than before. Asset managers are sensitive to equity and bond market falls, changes in investor flows, fee pressure and regulatory developments, any of which could weigh on earnings and the share price. One independent ratings service downgraded the stock from Strong-Buy to Hold in August, and another lowered its grade from B to B-, so not every rating service is uniformly positive.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Items to watch include further target revisions from brokers such as JPMorgan, Barclays and UBS, and for updates on flows and market conditions.
