What the Analysts think about St James's Place
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for St James's Place stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of St James's Place stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Funds under management reached a record £240.8 billion in the first half, while gross inflows held at £10.5 billion and client numbers rose to 1.064 million. Retention also improved to 95.4%, supporting the case that demand for advice and the underlying client franchise remain resilient. (St James's Place)
The lower earnings caused by the new charging structure are expected to be a transition effect: St James’s Place says new business now contributes to ongoing profit from day one and expects sharply faster earnings growth from 2027. Analyst consensus published by the company also forecasts adjusted profit after tax rising from £444.8 million in 2026 to £552.4 million in 2027. (St James's Place, St James's Place)
The historic ongoing-service review is nearing completion, with the related provision reduced to £110 million from £272.3 million at the end of 2025. The £110.4 million release helped fund an additional £82.8 million share buyback, reducing a major legacy overhang and returning cash to shareholders. (Money Marketing, St James's Place)
Net inflows fell 28.4% to £2.7 billion in the first half, despite flat gross inflows, as client redemptions increased. Pension flows fell 37%, suggesting the new fee model is already affecting an important source of new business. (Citywire)
Adjusted pre-tax profit fell 9% to £278.4 million because the new charging structure delivers lower initial and ongoing margins. Profit from inflows was only £17.7 million, while full-year people, property and technology costs are expected to rise 5%, so the earnings recovery depends heavily on future fund growth and investment returns. (St James's Place)
The advice network faces a retention risk after several large practice firms moved to a rival network. St James’s Place says around 25% of funds may be at real risk of leaving when a partner departs, making adviser stability important to future flows and client retention. (Citywire, MarketScreener)
