Analyst projections of the future price of Cohen & Steers stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Cohen & Steers delivered strong operating momentum in the second quarter: adjusted EPS rose to $0.85 from $0.73 a year earlier, revenue grew 12%, and net inflows reached $1.3 billion. The adjusted operating margin also improved to 36.3%, showing operating leverage as assets grew. (Cohen & Steers)
The flow recovery continued after the second quarter, with $688 million of net inflows in July and a further $528 million in August. August flows remained positive even though market depreciation reduced month-end assets under management to $101.0 billion. (Cohen & Steers, Cohen & Steers)
The active ETF platform passed $1 billion of assets with six products, and the firm expected to launch a seventh real-assets ETF in the third quarter. This gives CNS a wider distribution route and could support longer-term organic growth beyond its traditional fund channels. (Cohen & Steers)
CNS remains highly exposed to market valuations because management fees are tied to assets under management. In August, $1.9 billion of market depreciation more than offset the $528 million of net inflows, cutting month-end assets from $102.5 billion to $101.0 billion. (Cohen & Steers)
The specialist focus on real assets leaves CNS vulnerable if interest rates stay high or investors favour private real-estate vehicles and other asset managers. Morningstar said these forces had already hurt assets under management and were likely to remain a headwind. (Morningstar)
Fee and cost pressure could limit the benefit of further asset growth: the fee rate excluding performance fees fell to 58.5 basis points from 59.0 basis points quarter on quarter, while total operating expenses rose 3%. Management also said its ETFs are priced below its lowest-cost open-end share classes, which may weigh on future revenue per asset. (Cohen & Steers, Yahoo Finance)
