Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the reported EPS for Q2-2026?

Given Victory Capital's history of beating EPS estimates, this figure will be crucial in determining market sentiment.

What is the current AUM and growth outlook?

AUM growth is a key driver of revenue and profitability; any decline could raise concerns among investors.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate Victory Capital's ability to leverage market conditions for AUM growth, especially given recent trends in investor interest in alternative assets.

Supporting Evidence

Victory Capital has consistently beaten EPS estimates, suggesting strong management execution.

Options pricing indicates a higher expected move, which may reflect underlying confidence in the company's performance.

Historical trends show that the company often rebounds strongly after initial dips.

Key Risk

If AUM growth exceeds expectations, it could significantly alter market perceptions and lead to a bullish sentiment.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's performance will hinge on the company's ability to maintain or grow its earnings and AUM.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $1.85 or higher would confirm the bull case, indicating strong operational performance.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $1.75 would support the bear case, suggesting potential challenges in profitability.
