-- 独立系調査会社CFRAは、に対し、以下の調査レポートを提供しました。CFRAのアナリストは、以下のように見解をまとめています。BENは、3月期決算で調整後EPSが0.71ドルとなり、前年同期の0.47ドルを上回りました。これは、市場予想の0.55ドル、および当社の予想である0.56ドルを上回る結果です。営業収益は前年同期比9%増となり、当社の5~8%増という成長予測を上回りました。投資運用手数料も9%増加し、経費の伸びが抑制されたことで、営業利益率は6.9%から14.1%に改善しました。当社は、今回の四半期決算を高く評価しており、BENの多様な運用資産構成を好ましい展開と捉えています。 Western Asset Managementの法的問題は、元共同最高投資責任者(CIO)のケン・リーチ氏の詐欺裁判が2026年6月に予定されていることから、依然として懸念材料となる可能性がある。運用資産総額(AUM)は9%増加して1兆6800億ドルとなり、1年前の262億ドルの流出に対し、169億ドルの純長期資金流入という資金フローの改善を反映しているが、2025年度(9月)の流出総額は974億ドルだった。BENのAUMは、株式40%、債券26%、オルタナティブ17%で構成されており、一部の同業他社よりも分散度が高い。Western Assetの不正行為はブランドに大きな損害を与えたと我々は考えている。
