Dow Jones04-26

By Dean Seal

 

T. Rowe Price recorded higher earnings and revenue in the first quarter as investment advisory fees and assets under management each logged double-digit percentage growth.

The Baltimore-based investment-fund manager posted a profit of $573.8 million, or $2.49 a share, compared with $421.5 million, or $1.83 a share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Stripping out one-time items, adjusted earnings were $2.38 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been expecting $2.04 a share.

Revenue rose 14% to $1.75 billion, ahead of analyst projections for $1.71 billion, according to FactSet.

Investment advisory fees rose 12% to $1.55 billion. Net client outflows halved from the year-ago quarter to $8 billion, leaving quarter-end assets under management at $1.54 trillion.

Chief Executive Rob Sharps said that while outflows will likely persist in 2024, the company believes "there will be substantial improvement this year driven by higher sales and lower redemptions."
