2025-03-27 09:29:44 ET

Summary

• Janus Henderson Group plc has consistently beaten earnings estimates, increased dividends, and executed strategic acquisitions, positioning it well for future growth.
• The company ended 2024 with $378.7 billion in AUM, strong cash flow, and a solid liquidity position, supporting further strategic initiatives.
• JHG's strategic plan "Protect & Grow, Amplify, and Diversify" is driving revenue and earnings growth.
• In this article, I explain more about JHG, their quality business model and why I rate JHG stock a "Buy" based on a recent price drop.

I rate Janus Henderson Group plc (JHG) a Buy, for capital appreciation-focused investors who are looking for long-term buy and hold investments. The stock has recently been knocked down from its high of $46 to just over $37 per share, representing an opportunity for investors to pick up a quality asset manager at a discount. The most important factors that influence my opinion of the stock are:

• JHG has beaten earnings estimates on the past 4 quarters, with rising EPS.
• Consistently increasing dividend payout over time, currently yielding 4.11%
• Leading British/Australian asset manager with history of growth through mergers and acquisitions
• $1.9 billion in access to liquidity to support strategic initiatives.
• Investment grade rating and strong cash flow generation supports access to debt markets for strategic opportunities.
• History of stock buybacks making earnings per share stronger.
