Analyst projections of the future price of St James's Place stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Funds under management reached a record £242.4bn in September, with net inflows still positive and year-to-date retention at 95.1%. That gives SJP a larger asset base from which to earn fees, although growth in net inflows has slowed. (Financial Conduct Authority)
The new charging structure weighs on current margins, but SJP expects its profit margin on funds under management to rise as older assets move out of a lower-charge “gestation” period. Management says this supports its ambition to double adjusted profits from 2023 to 2030, with faster earnings growth expected from 2027. (London Stock Exchange)
SJP added 27,000 clients and 17 advisers in the first half, while gross inflows held at £10.5bn year on year. A growing client base and continued adviser recruitment could help rebuild flows as the firm enters its growth-focused strategy phase. (St James's Place, Investing.com)
Third-quarter net inflows fell to £570m from £1.76bn a year earlier, and the year-to-date annualised inflow rate slipped to 2.0% from 3.9%. If weaker flows persist beyond the unusually strong prior-year comparison, asset growth and fee income may disappoint. (Financial Conduct Authority)
Adjusted first-half pre-tax profit fell 9% to £278.4m even as average funds under management rose 18%. SJP attributed the decline partly to lower initial and ongoing margins under its new charging structure, leaving near-term earnings exposed while the transition continues. (London Stock Exchange)
Recent reports of clients being double-charged and a Financial Ombudsman ruling that SJP failed to provide promised annual reviews point to continuing conduct and reputation risks. Further failures to evidence paid-for advice could mean more refunds and regulatory scrutiny. (The Telegraph, Professional Adviser)
