Analyst projections of the future price of Cohen & Steers stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Client demand has rebounded: the firm recorded $1.3 billion of second-quarter net inflows, its strongest quarter since late 2021, followed by further monthly net inflows in July and September. This suggests the growth is not solely coming from market gains. (StockTitan, Cohen & Steers)
Second-quarter results showed improving operating leverage: adjusted EPS rose to $0.85 from $0.73 a year earlier, while revenue growth outpaced expense growth and the adjusted operating margin reached 36.3%. (StockTitan)
The firm is building growth channels beyond its established funds. Its active ETF platform passed $1 billion in assets, and management reported a broad $1.6 billion institutional pipeline with new mandates across several real-asset strategies. (Exa)
CNS remains exposed to market swings: September AUM fell $5.1 billion to $95.9 billion, with market depreciation accounting for the full $5.1 billion decline before distributions. That can quickly weaken fee-generating assets even when clients are still adding money. (Cohen & Steers)
Institutional flows weakened in September, with $313 million of net outflows, including $307 million from sub-advisory accounts. Continued redemptions in this channel could offset the inflows seen in open-end funds. (Cohen & Steers)
Recent fund results show that investment performance is uneven, which could make it harder to retain clients paying active-management fees. Cohen & Steers International Realty returned about 1% less during the first half of 2026, while the MSCI EAFE Index gained 9.44%. (StreetInsider)
