Price Target:

▼(-12.66% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/14/26
The score is held back primarily by weakened financial performance (compressed margins, lower free cash flow, and a deteriorating equity base) and bearish technical trend signals. Earnings-call commentary provides some offset through a potentially meaningful pipeline and strategic expansion, while valuation remains challenging due to the very high P/E despite a strong dividend yield.
Positive Factors
AUM-based Recurring Revenue
SilverCrest’s primary revenue is asset-based management fees, creating recurring, predictable cash flows that scale with net inflows and market appreciation. Over a 2–6 month horizon this durability supports operating stability, funding for strategic initiatives, and steady fee income even if performance fluctuates.
Negative Factors
Compressed Profitability
Margins have deteriorated materially—net margin compressed to ~2.1% on essentially flat revenue—driven by rising expenses and elevated compensation. Persistently weak profitability reduces internal funding for growth, limits reinvestment capacity, and raises sensitivity to AUM declines or market stress over the medium term.

SilverCrest Asset Management Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 11, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Neutral
The call presents a mixed picture: strong strategic progress (global offices, trusts, top-tier investment performance and a large institutional pipeline) and disciplined long-term investments that management expects will drive future growth, contrasted with near-term financial pressure — flat revenue, rising expenses (up 13.5%), an elevated compensation ratio (67.2% vs 60.2% prior year), modest reported net income, and a large decline in cash. Highlights emphasize durable strategic initiatives and potential for meaningful inflows, while lowlights show tangible short-term profitability and balance-sheet impacts.Positive Updates

Company Guidance
Management guided that investments will keep the compensation ratio elevated — compensation & benefits were $21.1M or 67.2% of revenue in Q1 (vs $18.9M / 60.2% LY) — and said they are focused on converting a pipeline “in the billions” into consultant approvals and funded mandates in 2026, which should drive positive flows and revenue upside; near-term metrics cited: discretionary AUM fell 3.7% to $23.1B (but rose ~2% YoY from $22.7B), total AUM was $35.7B (up 1.1% YoY), organic new client flows were $81M in Q1, revenue was $31.4M, reported consolidated net income $0.5M (net to Class A ~$0.2M, $0.03/share), adjusted EBITDA ~$3.7M (11.8% of revenue) and adjusted EPS $0.13 basic / $0.12 diluted; balance sheet/capital items noted: total assets ~$133M, cash $11.6M, borrowings ~$10M, Class A equity ~$46.9M, completion of $1.9M Q1 buybacks to finish a $25M plan (≈$87M repurchased over 5 years), a declared $0.21 quarterly dividend (record June 12, payable ~June 19), a likely modest pause on further buybacks while investments mature, and a one‑time change to nondiscretionary AUM reporting (no revenue effect) as international expansion (London, Dublin pending Bank of Ireland approval later in 2026, Australia) is expected to contribute meaningfully to flows in 2026 and beyond.SilverCrest Asset Management Financial Statement Overview
