What the Analysts think about AJ Bell
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for AJ Bell stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
AJ Bell’s platform assets under administration jumped 13% year-on-year to over £90 billion in Q2 FY25, reflecting strong client asset accumulation in its core investment platform business (Reuters).
In the six months to March 2025, AJ Bell’s profit before tax rose 12% to £68.8 million while adding 50,000 customers and growing AUA to £96.2 billion, underscoring robust financial and operational momentum (Reuters).
The company raised its FY25 pre-tax profit margin forecast to over 42% (up from 40%) following a 45% surge in H1 transactional revenues and simultaneously launched a £25 million share buyback, highlighting management’s confidence in growth prospects and capital returns (Reuters).
A significant portion of AJ Bell’s revenue—around 40% in 2025—is expected to come from interest income on uninvested client cash, exposing the firm to potential FCA scrutiny and regulatory caps on interest spreads (FT).
AJ Bell’s shares trade at a premium valuation of about 21 times forward 2026 earnings, noticeably above peers such as Integrafin and Quilter, leaving limited room for multiple expansion and increasing downside risk if growth slows (FT).
Chief Executive Michael Summersgill sold £436,000 of AJ Bell shares in August 2025, a gesture that may signal management views the current share price as full or richly valued (FT).
