Investment Managers' Earnings Due on Jul 29: RJF, AMP & More
Read MoreHide Full Article
Investment managers (part of the broader Finance sector) have performed decently over the past several quarters, with some volatility. The trend is expected to have continued this time around too, with support from solid equity markets.
The performance of equity markets remained favorable as reflected by nearly 25% growth of the S&P 500 Index. The global economic slowdown, the Federal Reserve’s accommodative stance and a number of activities in the quarter continued to impact the economy and kept tickling trading counters, resulting in volatile market performance.
Therefore, asset managers have recorded an increase in assets under management (AUM) in the quarter under review. Further, the demand for alternative investment sources is expected to have aided revenue growth for investment managers.
However, rise in operating expenses, fueled by marketing and investments in technology, may impede bottom-line growth.
The investment managers, including The Blackstone Group (BX - Free Report) and Legg Mason , which have reported second-quarter 2020 earnings so far, witnessed an increase in assets under management (AUM). However, revenues have not been of much support.
Per our Earnings Preview, overall earnings for the finance sector for the quarter are expected to decline 42.5% year over year. Notably, it recorded a fall of 32.6% in the prior quarter.
Let’s take a look at the investment management stocks that are slated to report on Jul 29.
T. Rowe Price Group (TROW - Free Report) , scheduled to report second-quarter 2020 results before the opening bell, is likely to have witnessed net inflows and thus, its total AUM is expected to have recorded a rise. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AUM is pegged at $1.2 billion, which indicates a 3.4% rise from the previous quarter.
Ameriprise Financial (AMP - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2020 results after market close. Based on expectations of improved advisor productivity, the Advice & Wealth Management segment is likely to have recorded growth in assets. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for management and financial advice fees (constituting more than 55% of the company’s total net revenues) is pegged at $1.90 billion, which suggests a rise of 7.1% from the prior quarter’s reported number.
Operating expenses are expected to have increased in the to-be-reported quarter due to advertising campaign and technology upgrades.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, as shown in the chart below:
Raymond James (RJF - Free Report) is slated to announce third-quarter fiscal 2020 (ended Jun 30) results, after market close. Higher trading income, solid underwriting fees and muted growth in advisory fees are expected to have supported the company’s quarterly performance.

Further, chances of Raymond James beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate are less this time as it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and Zacks Rank #3.
The company has a decent earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters.
Raymond James Financial, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Janus Capital Group (JHG - Free Report) is slated to announce second-quarter 2020 results before market open. The company is expected to have recorded a decline in revenues and earnings in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings of 51 cents reflects a year-over-year fall of 16.4%. The consensus estimate for sales of $522.1 million suggests a decrease of 2.6%. It has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
Janus Capital has a decent earnings surprise history. The company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters.
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
