Executive summary

Franklin Templeton is a global investment manager that runs mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts across equities, fixed income, multi-asset strategies and alternative assets. It operates through several specialist investment teams under different names. Its clients include individual investors who reach it through financial advisers and platforms, as well as pension funds, insurers and other institutions. The firm also provides related services such as fund administration and distribution.

The firm earns its revenue mostly from fees charged as a share of the assets it manages, so its income moves with the size of its funds and with investor flows. Revenue was $9.3 billion over the last twelve months, up 2.0% a year across the last three years. The operating margin is 9.7%, and the business earns 6% on the capital invested in it.

StocksXray gives Franklin Templeton Inc an X-Ray Score of 35 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 8% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is financial health (61) and its weakest is growth (15).

Our fair value blend is $25.97. At $30.98 the stock trades 19% above that blend, so the label is "Fair" with low model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
