Moody’s downgrades Senegal to Caa1 amid rising debt concerns
Investing.com - TD Cowen has reduced its price target on Artisan Partners Asset Management (NYSE:APAM) to $43.00 from $47.00 while maintaining a Hold rating on the stock. According to InvestingPro data, APAM currently trades at $45.69 with a P/E ratio of 12.32 and maintains a strong financial health score of "GREAT."
The adjustment follows investor meetings with Artisan Partners’ CFO on September 11, where TD Cowen emerged with a more mixed outlook regarding the company’s flow and capital deployment prospects.
Despite the target reduction, TD Cowen expressed continued optimism about Artisan’s newer growth initiatives in credit and alternatives, and expects management to execute on small deals.
The firm cited a weaker long-term flow outlook as the primary reason for lowering the target multiple from 12x to 11x revised 2026 estimated earnings.
TD Cowen noted that while Artisan’s 8% forward twelve-month dividend yield should provide downside price support, the company faces challenges compared to peers that offer "superior flow prospects and/or more favorable strategic positioning - particularly into US Retirement." The company has maintained dividend payments for 13 consecutive years, with a current yield of 7.38%.
