Franklin Resources (BEN) is experiencing conflicting analyst views, even as the company surpasses $1.62 Trillion in
AUM. Despite moments of turbulence and continual fluctuations in the stock market, many asset management companies have increased their stakes in BEN.
Cresset Asset Management and
Aberdeen Group together invested roughly $8.2 Million, whereas
Citigroup Inc. and
Resona Asset Management purchased significant shares. Amid the mixed opinions, Goldman Sachs upgraded Franklin Resources' stock to buy, signalling potential growth. However, the company has witnessed a consecutive six-day loss, depressing the return to -5.8%. At the same time, a weaker earnings report has caused uncertainty surrounding BEN’s ongoing buyback strategy. The company's underperformance in recent times is attributed partly to its earnings decline over the past three years. Contrarily, BEN remains attractive as a low-priced dividend stock. Fresh price targets have been set by
Morgan Stanley and
Evercore ISI while Barclays reiterates an 'Underweight' rating. Franklin Resources appears forward-looking, revealing its strategic growth in alternatives and blockchain in Q3 2025 earnings report.
