Federated Hermes reports Q2 EPS $1.16, consensus $1.02

Reports Q2 revenue $424.84M consensus $423.76M. “In the second quarter, we saw continued interest in our broad suite of MDT equity and alternative quantitative investment solutions, which deploy a disciplined, repeatable process that is based on fundamental and technical factors and offers the opportunity for outperformance,” said J. Christopher Donahue, president and chief executive officer. “Investors with interest in capital preservation and liquidity helped drive demand for our microshort and ultrashort funds, which are a step further out the yield curve and pursue higher yields than money market strategies. Also, ETF and collective investment trust offerings were among our quarterly leaders in net sales. We will continue to strategically introduce complementary offerings of our most popular investment strategies.”
