T. Rowe Price: Lowered Moat Rating to Narrow Despite Firm Having Wide-Moat Characteristics

We've lowered our moat rating for T. Rowe Price to narrow from wide. Our fair value estimate remains in place at $115 per share. While T. Rowe Price has wide-moat-worthy characteristics—like a well-respected brand, attractive distribution with high retention rates, repeatable investment strategies, reasonable fees, and an impressive track record of excess returns—we've seen a large enough deterioration in the firm's qualitative and quantitative attributes the past five years to warrant taking the moat down a notch.

Price vs Fair Value

TROW is trading at a 475% premium.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

With $1.612 trillion in AUM at the end of August 2024, T. Rowe Price is one of the larger US-based asset managers. Retirement accounts and variable-annuity portfolios, which are stickier than retail assets, account for two thirds of managed assets.

Bears

The company's equity performance has been weak of late, with just 41% and 31% of fund AUM beating passive peer medians on a 3- and 5-year basis, respectively, at the end of June 2024.
