Franklin Resources Q3 Revenue Beats
Franklin Resources (NYSE:BEN), a global investment management firm, reported financial results for Q3 FY2025 on August 1, 2025. The most notable news from the earnings release was that the company modestly surpassed analysts’ expectations on both revenue (GAAP) and non-GAAP earnings per share. Earnings per share (Non-GAAP) came in at $0.49 versus an estimated $0.48, and revenue (GAAP) reached $2,064.0 million, substantially ahead of the $1,582.2 million consensus. However, both revenue and profit metrics (GAAP) declined year-over-year. The quarter showed improvement in net flows outside of the Western Asset Management subsidiary, but overarching pressures from Western continued to weigh on overall profitability and margin performance.
