Growth in AUM to Support Ameriprise This Earnings Season
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (AMP - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results on Jan. 29, after market close. Its quarterly revenues and earnings are anticipated to have increased year over year.
See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.
In the last reported quarter, AMP’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. A rise in expenses hurt the results. Meanwhile, an increase in revenues and higher assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) balances acted as tailwinds.
Ameriprise has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, with the average beat being 0.99%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMP’s management and financial advice fees (constituting more than 60% of total net revenues) is pegged at $2.64 billion, suggesting a 15.7% rise from the prior-year quarter’s reported number. Our estimate for the same is $2.56 billion.
The consensus estimate for distribution fees of $541.4 million indicates an increase of 15.4%. Our estimate for the same is $517.6 million. The consensus estimate for premiums, policy and contract charges is pegged at $406.9 million, indicating a rise of almost 1%. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $415.2 million.
The consensus estimate for net investment income of $891.3 million suggests a marginal increase. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $966.6 million. The consensus mark for other revenues of $136.3 million indicates 10.8% growth. Our estimate for the same is pegged at $149.1 million.
Supported by overall asset inflows on the back of favorable markets, the company’s total AUM and AUA balance is expected to have improved. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM and AUA is pegged at $1.52 trillion, indicating a jump of 12% from the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric is $1.53 trillion.
While Ameriprise’s initiatives to focus on cost management have led to controlled general and administration expenses, overall costs are anticipated to have been elevated in the to-be-reported quarter due to costs related to technology upgrades and hirings. Our estimate for total adjusted operating expenses is pegged at $3.29 billion, implying a year-over-year rise of 10.8%.
