Investment Managers Q2 Earnings Slated on Jul 25: AMP, TROW
Read MoreHide Full Article
Investment management (part of the broader Finance sector) industry performed reasonably well over the past several quarters. This time as well, the industry is expected to report decent results.
As the equity market volatility remained low, increase in equity-based assets is expected. While the S&P 500 Index gained 3.1% in the quarter, it underperformed both non-U.S. developed and emerging markets. Hence, asset managers with global presence are expected to record a rise in equity asset under management (AUM).
Further, rising interest rates are expected to lead to decline in fee waivers. Also, demand for alternative investment sources might have aided revenue growth for the investment managers. However, rise in operating expenses, as they aggressively market their products, is expected to slightly hurt the bottom line.
Notably, per the Earnings Preview, overall earnings growth for the Investment managers in second-quarter 2017 is expected to be 6.9%.
So, this is the right time to add a few investment management stocks in case they beat earnings estimates.
Our quantitative model offers some insights into stocks that are about to report their earnings. Per the model, in order to be confident of an earnings beat, a stock needs to have the right combination of the two key ingredients – a positive Earnings ESP and a favorable Zacks Rank – Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here.
