RBC Capital bumps up target price on Aberdeen
Over at RBC Capital Markets, analysts nudged up their target price on investment firm Aberdeen Group plc from 195p to 200p on Thursday as they updated their model for the group's third-quarter trading update.
RBC Capital said its adjusted operating profit forecasts increased by 3% on average over FY25-27, benefitting from higher assets under management and administration, although it noted this was partially offset by its view of yet further weakening of revenue margins in its investment and adviser veticals.
"We also remove Financial Planning from our forecasts from 1 Apr 2026, with the impact of all these updates to our adj operating profit being +1%/+4%/+4% over FY25-27," said the Canadian bank.
RBC Capital, which has a 'sector perform' rating on the stock, stated it was now 2% ahead of consensus on average across the forecast period.
