Michael Cyprys has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors related to Virtus Investment Partners’ financial outlook. Despite an increase in the adjusted earnings per share (EPS) forecast for the third quarter of 2025 and the full year 2025, driven by improved interest and dividend income, the outlook for 2026 shows a slight decline in adjusted EPS due to weaker management fees. This suggests potential challenges in sustaining revenue growth.
Furthermore, the price target remains unchanged at $170, which is below the current share price of $189.66, indicating limited upside potential. These elements, combined with the broader market context and competitive pressures, contribute to a cautious view on the stock, leading to the Sell recommendation.
