Our Take on TROW
The company’s solid AUM balance, broadening distribution reach and efforts to diversify business through acquisitions are likely to support its top-line growth in the long term. However, the company’s overdependence on investment advisory fees is concerning. Also, T. Rowe Price’s bottom-line growth continues to be under pressure due to high costs.
Over the past three months, shares of T. Rowe Price have lost 8.7% against the industry’s 6.9% growth.
