The latest update is out from Liontrust Asset Management ( (GB:LIO) ).

Liontrust reported assets under management and advice of £19.6 billion at 31 March 2026, rising to £20.8 billion by 20 April, with quarterly net outflows reduced to £0.8 billion from £1.3 billion a year earlier. The group highlighted strong performance in key European, fixed income and global strategies and noted two new institutional mandates worth over £500 million expected to be funded by the end of May.

The firm’s proposed acquisition of River Global Holdings, whose £2.6 billion of AuMA excludes certain terminated or closing mandates, was overwhelmingly approved by River Global PLC shareholders and is set to broaden Liontrust’s investment styles and client base. Management said expanding international distribution and the RGH deal position Liontrust to capture rising demand for active management and support organic growth despite recent market-driven AuMA declines.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LIO) stock is a Sell with a £235.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Liontrust Asset Management stock, see the GB:LIO Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on LIO Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LIO is a Neutral.

Liontrust Asset Management’s overall stock score is driven by its strong valuation metrics, including a low P/E ratio and high dividend yield, which suggest potential undervaluation. However, bearish technical indicators and challenges in financial performance, such as declining revenue and free cash flow, weigh on the score. The company’s strategic corporate actions, like share buybacks, provide some positive outlook but are not included in the weighted calculation.
