Robust AUM Performance on Strong Markets to Aid Invesco's Q2 Earnings

Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Invesco's Q2 AUM rose 8.7% sequentially to $2T, driven by market gains and net inflows.
  • Revenues are expected to rise 1.9% y/y, led by higher investment and performance fees.
  • Earnings may have declined 7% as cost pressures, including Alpha implementation, offset revenue growth.

Invesco (IVZ - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2025 results on July 22, before market open. While the company’s quarterly revenues are expected to have witnessed a rise on a year-over-year basis, earnings are likely to have declined.

In the last reported quarter, IVZ’s adjusted earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were primarily aided by higher adjusted net revenues. An increase in the assets under management (AUM) balance, driven by decent inflows, was another positive. However, higher adjusted operating expenses were worrisome.

Invesco has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three and met in one of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 6.6%.

Invesco’s Key Q2 Estimates & Factors to Note

Per the monthly metrics data published by Invesco, its preliminary total AUM as of June 30, 2025, was $2 trillion, up 8.7% on a sequential basis. Growth in AUM was driven by strong market returns and overall net inflows despite continued concerns related to the impact of Trump’s tariff plans on financials. Hence, the company’s investment management fees are expected to have increased. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment management fees is pegged at $1.11 billion, indicating a rise of 1.3% from the previous quarter’s reported number.

Similarly, the consensus estimate for performance fees of $8.99 million indicates a significant rise from the previous quarter’s actual.

The consensus estimate for service and distribution fees of $376 million indicates a sequential rise of 1.3%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for other revenues is pegged at $53 million, suggesting a 3.6% sequential decline.

On the cost front, while Invesco’s cost-saving initiatives are likely to have boosted its efficiency, the rise in compensation and marketing costs is expected to have had an adverse impact on overall expenses in the to-be-reported quarter.

Management expects the one-time implementation costs of Alpha to be $10-15 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Key Q2 Development for Invesco

In April, IVZ announced its strategic product and distribution for U.S. Wealth channels with MassMutual’s $442-billion global asset management subsidiary, Barings. The alliance aims to focus on unique and market-leading private credit solutions for clients.

It combines the global private credit and public fixed income proficiency, extensive product structuring and sophisticated asset allocation capabilities of both firms.

MassMutual intends to support this initiative with an initial investment of $650 million to boost the launch and scale up of products and accelerate client adoption.

Invesco agreed to repurchase roughly $1 billion of its Series A preferred stock. The all-cash purchase will be funded by debt financing. This is expected to be accretive to Invesco’s earnings beginning in the second half of 2025.
