Rise in AUM Balance Likely to Support Ameriprise's Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Ameriprise will release 3Q25 results on Oct. 30, with earnings and revenues expected to rise y/y.
A higher AUM and AUA balance, led by solid inflows, is expected to have supported the quarterly performance.
Expenses tied to technology upgrades and the latest hires may offset gains from cost-control initiatives.
Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (AMP - Free Report) is slated to announce third-quarter 2025 results on Oct. 30, before market open. Its quarterly revenues and earnings are expected to have risen year over year.
In the last reported quarter, AMP’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. An increase in revenues, and higher assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) balances acted as tailwinds. Conversely, an increase in expenses was a headwind.
Ameriprise has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average beat being 2.30%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMP’s management and financial advice fees (constituting more than 60% of total net revenues) is pegged at $2.75 billion, suggesting a 7% rise from the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for the same is $2.60 billion.
The consensus estimate for distribution fees of $553 million indicates a year-over-year increase of 7.8%. Our estimate for the same is $519.1 million. The consensus mark for other revenues of $134 million indicates 2.3% growth. Our estimate for the same is pegged at $121.2 million.
Alternatively, the consensus estimate for net investment income of $834 million suggests a year-over-year decline of 10.7%. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $883.3 million. The consensus estimate for premiums, policy and contract charges is pegged at $374 million, indicating a fall of 8.6%. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $380.6 million.
Decent inflows are expected to have driven the company’s total AUM and AUA balance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM and AUA is pegged at $1.62 trillion, indicating a rise of 7.4% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Our estimate for the metric is $1.55 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 those related to technology upgrades and hirings. Our estimate for total adjusted operating expenses is pegged at $3.27 billion.
