Rise in AUM Balance to Support T. Rowe Price This Earnings Season
Read MoreHide Full Article
T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (TROW - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 results on Nov. 1, before the opening bell. The company’s quarterly revenues and earnings are expected to have witnessed improvements from the year-ago reported levels.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
In the last reported quarter, TROW’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. A rise in its assets under management (AUM) supported net revenues.
T. Rowe Price’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 12.41%.
In the July-September quarter, the S&P 500 Index rose more than 5%, indicating favorable markets performance. The fixed-income markets reflected positive flow trends. The equity markets could not catch up with the fixed-income markets. Hence, the performances of asset managers in the September-end quarter are expected to have been driven by decent fixed-income markets returns. However, weak equity markets are anticipated to have offset growth to some extent.
Amid the challenging operating environment, T. Rowe Price is likely to have continued to record net outflows in the third quarter. Per the company’s monthly metrics data, its net outflows were $12.2 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2024.
Despite this, the company’s preliminary AUM of $1.63 trillion as of Sept. 30, 2024, increased 3.9% from June 30, 2024, driven by an improvement in fixed income, multi-asset and alternative products.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM is pegged at $1.63 trillion, indicating a 3.7% sequential increase. Our estimate for the same is pegged at $1.62 billion.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment advisory fees is pegged at $1.64 billion, indicating a rise of 3.3% on a sequential basis. Our estimate for the same is pegged at $1.61 billion.
The consensus estimate for administrative, distribution and servicing fees of $156 million indicates a 5.7% increase from the prior quarter’s actual. Our estimate for the metric is pegged at $153.2 million.
Coming to expenses, T. Rowe Price incurs significant expenditure to attract investment advisory clients and additional investments from existing clients. Also, the company invests substantially in upgrading technology to align with changing customer needs. Thus, overall expenses are expected to have risen in the quarter under review, impeding bottom-line growth.
Our estimate for operating expenses (GAAP basis) is pegged at $1.23 billion, indicating a 5.1% rise on a sequential basis.
