Bell Global Equities flagged LPL Financial as a notable detractor in May, citing fears that tokenized and AI-centric platforms could automate client sweep cash into higher-yielding alternatives and threaten client cash revenue (~30% of gross profit). The sector-wide de-rating was compounded by uncertainty over retention of onboarding Commonwealth advisors. Bell argues these concerns are overdone, noting offsetting levers such as custody platform fees and fee restructuring, improving organic net new asset growth, and a valuation near 11x forward earnings that it views as attractive. » Más en finance.yahoo.com
