Overall, expectations for Invesco's upcoming earnings are mixed, with investors looking for signs of recovery in asset management performance. The market will closely watch for any updates on AUM and net flows.
Bull case
If Invesco shows strong growth in AUM and positive net flows, it could signal a recovery in investor confidence, leading to a significant stock price increase.
Bear case
Conversely, if the company reports declining AUM or negative net flows, it may indicate ongoing challenges in attracting and retaining investors, potentially leading to a drop in stock price.
The print will turn on these.
Q1
What is the current status of Assets Under Management (AUM) and how does it compare to last quarter?
AUM is critical for understanding Invesco's revenue potential and overall health, and any significant changes could impact investor sentiment.
Q2

Net flows provide insight into whether investors are putting more money into Invesco's funds or pulling out, which directly affects future earnings.

Why consensus could be wrong
The Street may underestimate Invesco's ability to recover AUM due to recent positive trends in market sentiment and investment performance.
Supporting evidence
Invesco has historically shown resilience in attracting new investments after a downturn.
The options market is pricing a larger move than what has been realized in past quarters, suggesting potential for a surprise.
Recent trends in the financial sector indicate a shift towards active management, which could benefit Invesco.
Key risk
If AUM growth exceeds 5%, it could challenge the current bearish sentiment.
Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.
The core debate this quarter revolves around whether Invesco can attract and retain assets in a competitive market.
Bull confirmed if
AUM growth of 5% or more compared to the previous quarter would confirm the bull case.
Bear confirmed if
A decline in net flows or AUM of more than 3% would confirm the bear case.
