Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc (APAM) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner, long-term investor. While the company has shown strong financial performance in the latest quarter and has positive news on assets under management, the technical indicators and trading sentiment do not suggest an immediate buying opportunity. The lack of significant trading signals, neutral hedge fund and insider activity, and a bearish MACD trend indicate that waiting for a better entry point may be prudent.
The MACD is bearish with a negatively expanding histogram (-0.0653). RSI is neutral at 40.646, and while moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), the stock is trading below the pivot level of 44.601, with support at 43.065. Overall, the technical indicators are mixed, leaning towards caution.
The company reported strong financial performance in Q4 2025, with revenue up 16.84% YoY, net income up 49.37% YoY, and EPS up 36.08% YoY. Additionally, the company announced $185.3 billion in assets under management as of January 2026, reflecting strong performance from its investment strategies.
Analysts have mixed ratings, with TD Cowen maintaining a Hold rating and highlighting modestly lagging November AUM data. The MACD trend is bearish, and the stock has a 60% chance of declining in the next week and month based on historical patterns. Additionally, there is no significant hedge fund or insider trading activity.
In Q4 2025, revenue increased by 16.84% YoY to $350.7 million, net income grew by 49.37% YoY to $94.8 million, and EPS rose by 36.08% YoY to 1.32. These figures indicate strong growth and profitability.
Analysts have mixed views. Morgan Stanley upgraded Aperam (not APAM) to Overweight with a higher price target, but TD Cowen maintained a Hold rating on APAM, citing modestly lagging AUM data. Citi and JPMorgan raised price targets on Aperam but kept Neutral ratings.
