5 big analyst AI moves: Nvidia guidance warning; Snowflake, Palo Alto upgraded
Investing.com - RBC Capital upgraded Aberdeen Group (LON:ABDN) (OTC:SLFPY) from Underperform to Sector Perform on Wednesday, raising its price target to GBP1.95 from GBP1.40.
The upgrade reflects improvements across Aberdeen’s three business segments, with second-quarter 2025 net flows signaling a potential turning point for the company. Investments & Retirement Wealth net flows (excluding liquidity) turned positive, while the Advisor segment showed sustained momentum.
RBC Capital noted that Aberdeen’s interactive investor platform remains a reliable earnings driver, supported by resilient treasury income. Despite ongoing uncertainty including competitive pressures and subdued equities investment performance, the firm forecasts 7% annual earnings growth over fiscal years 2025-2027.
The investment bank indicated that Aberdeen shares now trade in line with their 5-year average and listed peer sum-of-the-parts valuation, suggesting the stock appears fairly valued.
RBC Capital sees reduced scope for underperformance in Aberdeen shares at current levels, contributing to its decision to upgrade the stock rating.
