T. Rowe Price Group’s stock prices inched up 1.6% following the release of its mixed Q2 results on Aug. 1. During the quarter, the company’s asset under management (AUM) increased by $110.5 billion to $1.68 trillion. Meanwhile, due to a drop in equity-based investment advisory fees and performance-based fees, the company’s overall topline decreased by 58 bps year-over-year to $1.7 billion, missing the consensus estimates by a narrow margin.

However, T. Rowe’s fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative investment-based fees observed notable upticks. Further, its EPS for the quarter grew 6.2% year-over-year to $2.24, surpassing the street expectations by 4.2%.

For the full fiscal 2025, ending in December, analysts expect TROW to report an EPS of $9.06, down 2.9% year-over-year. The company has a mixed earnings surprise history. It has surpassed the Street’s bottom-line estimates thrice over the past four quarters, while missing the projections on one other occasion.

The stock has a consensus “Hold” rating overall. Of the 14 analysts covering the stock, opinions include one “Strong Buy,” eight “Holds,” one “Moderate Sell,” and four “Strong Sells.”www.barchart.com
