Q2 Earnings Miss
Adjusted EPS of $0.10 missed the $0.11 consensus, while GAAP net income fell sharply to $0.5M from $3.1M a year ago, pressured by higher compensation and professional fees.
-
Discretionary AUM Growth
Discretionary AUM rose 6.9% QoQ to $24.7B, driven by market appreciation of $2.4B and partially offset by $0.8B in net outflows. Total AUM reached $37.0B.
-
Major Institutional Win
A contribution of AUS$500M (~$351M) to the Global Value strategy lifted that strategy to $2.5B and institutional AUM to $9.8B.
-
Strategic Investment Progress
The MiFID license is expected by the end of Q3 2026, and a Dublin office head and portfolio manager join next week. The compensation ratio remains elevated at 66.6% of revenue.
Analysis · SAMG · Finance
Silvercrest posted Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.10, missing the $0.11 consensus, while revenue of $30.78M came in slightly ahead. The shortfall stemmed from elevated compensation costs tied to a multi-year investment program. On the brighter side, discretionary AUM jumped 6.9% sequentially to $24.7B, and the firm secured a $351M institutional mandate, signaling that the growth strategy is gaining traction. With the stock near its 52-week low, the market may be overlooking the improving asset base that will drive future revenue. The maintained $0.21 dividend and strong balance sheet provide downside support.
