Analysis · WT · Crypto Assets
The operating leverage story is working at WisdomTree: Q3 revenue of $179.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.32 came on record $171.0 billion AUM, with the operating margin at 41.3% (43.1% adjusted) versus 36.3% a year ago. Organic growth is the real substance — $4.6 billion of net inflows in the quarter and $13.6 billion year-to-date, a 13% annualized rate — because asset-manager valuations hinge on flows, not just market appreciation. Management also kept returning capital and trimming debt: $10.6 million of buybacks at a $21.29 average and $18.1 million of 2029 convertible notes retired for $32.3 million cash, alongside a $0.03 quarterly dividend. The offset is that the retirement cost more than par and the year-to-date loss on note repurchases was $68.9 million, which is why the GAAP effective tax rate ran at 35.1%.
