What the Analysts think about BEN

Analyst projections of the future price of Franklin Resources stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Long-term inflows and higher fees are translating into stronger earnings: Franklin reported $18.4 billion of long-term net inflows and adjusted diluted EPS growth of 47% year on year in its June quarter. That points to improving demand and earnings momentum. (Franklin Templeton)
The alternatives business is scaling quickly: alternative AUM reached a record $294.2 billion, while year-to-date private-markets fundraising of $33 billion had already exceeded the original full-year target with a quarter remaining. The $28.6 billion unfunded institutional pipeline offers a further source of potential growth. (Franklin Templeton)
The planned Stoneshield deal would broaden Franklin’s European real-assets platform: it is expected to triple Clarion’s European AUM to $13 billion and lift Clarion’s total AUM by 12%. This could strengthen its reach in specialist property markets and support further alternatives growth. (Franklin Templeton)
AUM remains exposed to market swings: September’s preliminary total fell to $1.79 trillion from $1.83 trillion in August as markets detracted, despite $6 billion of long-term inflows. Weaker markets can therefore offset client demand and weigh on fee-generating assets. (Franklin Templeton)
Western Asset continued to lose long-term client money even as the wider firm attracted inflows: it recorded $1.1 billion of outflows in the June quarter. Continued weakness at this fixed-income unit could remain a drag on the broader franchise. (Franklin Templeton)
Reported earnings were much weaker than the adjusted figures: June-quarter net income was $171.5 million against adjusted net income of $386.3 million, and the reported operating margin was 9.2% against an adjusted 28.0%. The large gap makes the headline adjusted improvement less representative of reported profitability. (Franklin Templeton)
