Ashmore Group PLC ( (GB:ASHM) ) has provided an announcement.

Ashmore Group reported that assets under management declined 3% to an estimated $50.7 billion in the quarter to 31 March 2026, driven evenly by negative investment performance and net outflows. Fixed income strategies saw lower balances, particularly in blended and external debt, while local currency and equities recorded net inflows amid a challenging market backdrop.

The firm said emerging market performance was pressured by the widening conflict in the Middle East, which increased volatility and prompted some investors to pause allocations. Despite this, Ashmore highlighted continued benchmark outperformance across equity and fixed income strategies and announced a new strategic partnership with Japan Post Insurance, aimed at expanding access to a broad range of emerging market asset classes.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ASHM) stock is a Sell with a £1.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ashmore Group PLC stock, see the GB:ASHM Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ASHM Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ASHM is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong profitability and an exceptionally low-leverage balance sheet, supported by constructive price momentum and an attractive income valuation (6.81% yield, P/E 14.343). The main constraints are declining revenue, weaker operating cash conversion, and earnings-call risks around performance-fee timing and gradual fee pressure.
