Source: Kapitales Research

Highlights:

  • Shares surged after FY25 results showed stronger revenue and earnings growth.
  • Average FUM climbed 10.8% to US$164.3 billion, boosting management fee income.
  • Company declared a US$0.0365 quarterly dividend amid steady profitability.

Solid revenue growth lifts market sentiment

GQG Partners Inc. (ASX: GQG) drew strong market interest after its share price moved higher following the announcement of its full-year 2025 financial results. At the time of writing, the stock had risen about 4.7 per cent as investors reacted to higher revenue driven mainly by rising management fees and steady growth in funds under management (FUM). The global asset manager reported average FUM of US$164.3 billion for the year ended 31 December 2025, up 10.8% from US$148.2 billion a year earlier. Closing FUM reached US$163.9 billion, supported by positive investment performance despite net outflows during the year.

Management fees power earnings growth

Net revenue climbed 6.3% year-on-year to US$808.3 million, reflecting stronger management fee income, while net operating income increased 7.6% to US$622.5 million. Net income attributable to shareholders rose 7.3% to US$463.3 million, highlighting continued profitability and operating leverage.

However, performance fees declined compared with the prior year, and fee realisation slipped slightly as the company adjusted its product mix and strategy. Even so, management maintained a strong operating margin of around 77%, signalling disciplined cost control.

Diversified strategies and outlook ahead

GQG Partners finished 2025 with diversified exposure across international, emerging markets, global and US equity strategies, with asset-based fees continuing to drive the majority of revenue. Management highlighted that competitive pricing and diversified investment vehicles may help reduce margin pressure compared with peers. Recent coverage from financial media indicates that the company’s results and earnings update have already been reported by several outlets, confirming strong investor interest in the FY25 performance and outlook. While markets remain uncertain, GQG’s steady FUM growth and consistent earnings expansion appear to be key factors supporting the latest share price momentum — leaving investors watching closely for flow trends and future strategy shifts.
