Our Take on LPL Financial
LPL Financial’s buyout of Commonwealth Financial Network, Investment Center and Atria Wealth, its solid advisor productivity and recruiting efforts will support advisory revenues. The company is expected to keep expanding inorganically, which will help diversify operations. However, uncertainty about the performance of the capital markets and substantial goodwill on the balance sheet are worrisome.
