Alexander Blostein has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors surrounding the recent developments with Janus Henderson Group. The announcement by Trian Fund Management, the largest shareholder, to explore a buyout of the remaining shares at a premium price suggests a potential shift in ownership. This proposal, valuing JHG at approximately $7 billion, aligns with historical valuation averages, indicating a stable yet unremarkable growth outlook.
While the proposed acquisition could support valuation levels for traditional asset managers, the stock’s performance has lagged behind broader market indices, such as the S&P. Blostein’s price target of $48, based on future earnings projections, reflects a neutral stance, acknowledging both potential upsides like higher organic growth and risks such as fee rate compression. The Hold rating suggests a cautious approach, considering the strategic uncertainties and market dynamics at play.
