Did TROW Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results

T. Rowe Price capped a solid third quarter with adjusted diluted EPS of $2.81, clearing the $2.54 consensus estimate by 10.50%, even as revenue of $1.89 billion came in fractionally below the $1.90 billion forecast, a miss of just 0.25%. The top line still grew 6.0% year-over-year, powered by higher investment advisory fees tied to an 8.4% rise in average AUM to $1.72 trillion, with quarter-end AUM reaching a record $1.77 trillion. The standout driver was capital allocation-based income, which surged to $42.00 million from $4.60 million a year ago on stronger carried interest returns, providing a meaningful lift to the bottom line. Net client outflows of $7.90 billion remained a persistent headwind, keeping some pressure on the fee base as the annualized effective fee rate slipped to 39.1 basis points from 40.7 a year ago. Looking ahead, T. Rowe guided its full-year 2025 GAAP tax rate to 23.0% to 26.0%, while continuing to invest in new capabilities through its recently announced strategic collaboration with Goldman Sachs.

  • Average AUM increased 8.4% YoY to $1.723 trillion

  • Fixed income average AUM grew 11.2% YoY
  • Inclusion of managed account - model delivery assets beginning July 1, 2025
