Franklin Resources Inc. (BEN - Free Report) announced preliminary AUM by its subsidiaries of $752.7 billion for Jul 2017. Results displayed 1.3% rise from $742.8 billion as of Jun 30, 2017. Moreover, the figure inched up 1.7% from the prior-year quarter.

Our Viewpoint
Though the company’s business model helps it diversify its AUM, regulatory restrictions and sluggish economic recovery might impair growth and escalate costs. Moreover, T. Rowe is subject to numerous regulations by the U.S. and non-U.S. regulators, which pose concerns for its operations and may even hurt profitability.
The company’s stock has gained 10.1% year to date, underperforming 19.4% rally of the industry it belongs to.
T. Rowe currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Another stock worth considering in the same space is Cohen & Steers (CNS - Free Report) . The company’s shares have risen 18.7% year to date. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year earnings was revised 2.6% upward, in the last 30 days. The stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
