Franklin Resources Sees Modest Decline in Assets Under Management Amidst Market Fluctuations Franklin Resources, Inc. more commonly known as Franklin Templeton, has reported modest fluctuations in its financial landscape. The company s preliminary assets under management (AUM) have decreased slightly from $1.54 trillion at the end of March 2025 to $1.53 trillion by April 30, 2025. This reduction stems primarily from a $10 billion net outflow,^1 largely attributable to Western Asset Management, a Franklin subsidiary. The effect was partially offset by positive foreign exchange impacts.
In light of these asset management figures, Franklin Resources stock performance has been underwhelming compared to broader market trends. Year-to-date, the company?s shares have dropped 6.53%, in contrast to the broader market s decline of 5.48%.
Despite these challenges, Franklin Resources financial resilience shines through, highlighted in their recent Q2 2025 earnings call. The earnings report, released on May 2, 2025, indicated that the company met market expectations, achieving an earnings per share (EPS) of $0.47.^2 Although the call highlighted significant outflows, Franklin Resources? strong institutional pipelines and robust ETF inflows underscore its ability to navigate market adversities.^3
Adding to investor sentiment, the company experienced a notable 6.19% surge in its stock price ahead of the earnings announcement, intriguing market analysts about potential strategic movements or shifts in investor confidence.^4 Furthermore, the company posted higher fiscal second-quarter profits, even amid a marginal decline in operating revenue. This reflects the company s adeptness at extracting value and profitability despite tightening revenue streams.^5
ly, Franklin Resources remains a focal point for short sellers. Despite being labeled as a cheap dividend stock, interest in short selling highlights investor caution surrounding the company in volatile market conditions.^6
Overall, while Franklin Resources faces immediate challenges, its demonstrated resilience and robust strategic pipelines offer a buffer against current market adversities, making it a firm of interest for stakeholders seeking stability in turbulent times.
