ASHMORE GROUP

Ashmore reported net inflows of $1.3bn in the quarter to 30 June and assets under management of $50.7bn (+$3.3bn). The shares fell about 1.5% to 212p as the positive news appeared to be priced in and a “sell the news” reaction dominated. Jefferies rates the stock buy with a 285p price target, but analyst consensus remains cautious with average targets below the current level. The next key date is the full-year results on 7 September 2026. » Altro su de.investing.com
