Analysis · TROW · Finance
T. Rowe Price posted record assets under management of $1.9 trillion, driven by market appreciation that more than offset $6.5 billion in net client outflows. Adjusted diluted EPS of $2.57 beat expectations, but the core equity franchise continues to see redemptions. The firm returned $441 million to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, while a $6.7 million restructuring charge signals ongoing expense discipline. The stock trades near its 52-week high, reflecting optimism around the AUM milestone, but persistent outflows in active equity remain a headwind.
