Robust Growth in AUM & Fee Income to Aid Invesco's Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Invesco (IVZ - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results on Jan. 28, before market open. The company’s quarterly earnings and revenues are expected to have witnessed a rise on a year-over-year basis.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
In the last reported quarter, IVZ’s adjusted earnings met the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results benefited from a decline in adjusted expenses and higher adjusted net revenues. An increase in the assets under management (AUM) balance on decent inflows was a positive too.
Invesco has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two quarters, met once and lagged in one of the trailing four quarters, with the average surprise being 2.63%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Invesco’s earnings of 51 cents has remained unchanged over the past seven days. The figure indicates a rise of 8.5% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus estimate for sales is pegged at $1.17 billion, suggesting an 11.7% rise.
Invesco’s Key Q4 Estimates & Factors to Note
Per the monthly metrics data published by Invesco, its preliminary total AUM as of Dec. 31, 2024, was $1.85 trillion, up 2.8% from the Sept. 30, 2024 level. Driven by the improvement in the AUM balance on the back of solid inflows and upbeat markets, the company’s investment management fee is expected to have risen. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment management fee is pegged at $1.02 billion, indicating an increase of 11.6% year over year.
The consensus estimate for performance fees of $30.9 million indicates a 58.5% jump from the prior-year quarter.
The consensus estimate for service and distribution fees of $376.3 million implies 9.2% growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for other revenues is pegged at $52.7 million, suggesting a 14.6% rise.
On the cost front, while Invesco’s cost-saving initiatives are likely to have boosted its efficiency, the steady 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 approximately $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Hence, the company expects a modest increase in the overall expenses in the quarter.
2024 Outlook for IVZ
As part of the organizational changes, the company targets to generate $60 million in annual net savings.
Management expects overall expenses to be higher than the previous guidance of $3 billion.
Management anticipates the ratio of service and distribution fees plus third-party distribution expenses to management fees to be closer to 14%.
