Associated Capital Group, Inc., based in Greenwich, Connecticut, is a diversified global financial services company specializing in alternative investment management and direct investment business through its subsidiaries.
In its latest earnings report, Associated Capital Group announced robust financial results for the second quarter of 2025, highlighting its strongest first-half performance in over 25 years, driven by its merger arbitrage strategy.
The company reported a significant increase in net income, reaching $18.6 million for the quarter, compared to $3.0 million in the same period last year. Assets under management also saw a rise, ending the quarter at $1.34 billion, up from $1.27 billion in the previous quarter. Additionally, the board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 150,000 shares, reflecting confidence in the company’s financial health.
Despite a decrease in total revenues to $2.2 million from $2.6 million a year ago, the company’s net investment and other non-operating income surged to $32.9 million, primarily driven by merger arbitrage investments and dividend income. The book value per share increased to $43.30, up from $42.51 at the end of March 2025.
Looking ahead, Associated Capital Group expects continued vibrant M&A activity, supported by a more favorable regulatory environment and pent-up demand from acquirers, which should bolster its merger arbitrage strategy and overall financial performance.
