Following the earnings results, BMO Capital analyst James Fotheringham lifted the stock’s price target from $19 to $22 but maintained a Hold rating. In a note to investors, the analyst wrote that, “the company’s higher performance fees and gains from seed investments drove its Q4 earnings beat.”

Fotheringham expects Invesco’s “improving net flows, positive operating leverage, and expense savings to continue.”

In line with Fotheringham’s outlook, the Street’s consensus rating on the stock is a Hold. That’s based on 6 Holds, 2 Buys and 3 Sells. The average price target stands at $21.45 and implies downside potential of about 7.3% to current levels. Shares have appreciated about 32.3% over the past year.
