In other recent news, State Street Corporation has made significant strides in its financial operations. The company's Q3 earnings per share (EPS) of $2.26 surpassed expectations, driving a 7% growth in fee revenues and a 9% increase in total revenues.
However, JPMorgan maintained an Underweight rating due to pricing pressures and slower revenue growth. Meanwhile, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods raised its price target following the robust earnings report.
State Street has also successfully closed a $2.25 billion senior debt issuance, underwritten in part by five minority-owned broker-dealers, demonstrating the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion. These recent developments include the appointment of Patricia Halliday to State Street's Board of Directors, bringing her thirty years of experience in the financial sector to the table.
Despite these positive advancements, a study by zeb Consulting predicts a continued decrease in profitability for asset managers, including State Street, through 2028. This is partly due to investor preferences shifting towards lower-fee products like ETFs. Looking ahead, State Street aims for total fee revenue growth of 4% to 5% and net interest income growth of 4% to 5%.
