The company’s quarterly earnings and revenues are expected to decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported level.In the last reported quarter, TROW’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company's results benefited from higher investment advisory fees and a rise in assets under management (AUM). Nonetheless, higher expenses and negative capital allocation-based income were headwinds.T. Rowe Price’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 2.78%.T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.

The fixed-income markets saw positive flow trends, with solid returns across funds. Further, the equity markets performance also improved during the quarter. As a result, TROW's performance for the June-end quarter is likely to have benefited from robust equity market returns and steady fixed-income inflows.Amid the challenging operating environment, T.

Per the company’s monthly metrics data, its net outflows were $7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.The company’s preliminary AUM of $1.68 trillion as of June 30, 2025, increased 7.1% from March 31, 2025, due to an increase in the Equity market performance.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM is pegged at $1.57 trillion, indicating a marginal sequential increase.

Our estimate for the same is pegged at $1.54 billion.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for administrative, distribution and servicing fees of $144.5 million implies a decrease of 7.5% from the prior quarter’s actual.
