Barclays
Benjamin Budish
Underweight
maintain
$19 -> $20
2025-07-16
Reason
Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish raised the firm's price target on Franklin Resources to $20 from $19 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares as part of a Q2 preview for the asset managers. The firm updated asset manager models to reflect full quarterly flow and asset under management metrics. Assets rose due to market appreciation in Q2, but though flow profiles remained mixed across the sector, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
Morgan Stanley
Underweight
maintain
$14 -> $19
2025-07-02
Reason
Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Franklin Resources to $19 from $14 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. Morgan Stanley sees a better backdrop for asset managers than feared, given early Q2 market drawdown that recovered better and faster than expected, and while flows are still softer quarter over quarter, the firm sees scope for recovery in the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, the analyst tells investors. The firm remains cautious longer- term on the group given persistent structural challenges around fees, flows, margins that are likely to linger.

Reason
TD Cowen analyst Bill Katz raised the firm's price target on Franklin Resources to $28 from $27 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm raised its estimates as they see building momentum in the long-term flow inflection; with WAMCO-related attrition stabilizing well ahead of their baseline model.
