Ashmore Group plc (GB00B132NW22) closed at 222.40 GBX on August 18, 2026, while the share also sat at 222.80 GBX in a later quote snapshot that same day. The move leaves the London-listed asset manager well below its 52-week peak and keeps the valuation story in focus.
Price and positioning
MarketScreener's sector page shows Ashmore at 222.40 GBX on August 18, 2026, with a 5-day change of -2.28% and a first-January change of +29.02%. That combination matters because the stock has already recovered strongly year to date even after the latest pullback.
The same page places Ashmore in Investment Management and Fund Operators, a peer set where revenue, margins, and leverage are being compared against larger rivals. For investors, that makes fund-flow sensitivity more important than a simple market beta story.
Most recent fundamentals
Yahoo Finance's profile page for Ashmore lists 279 employees and identifies the company as a publicly owned investment manager focused on emerging markets. It also shows an earnings date of September 7, 2026, which keeps the next reporting window on the calendar.
The most recent report figure visible in the same profile snapshot is the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, used for compensation disclosure. That matters as context, but the operational pulse still comes from the next results date rather than that disclosure line.
Peer context from the sector comparison shows an investment-management group with revenues of 13.08B in the prior-year comparator and another at 7.66B, alongside ROE readings of 35.78% and 16.05%. Ashmore's own comparison row shows its place in a sector where scale and margin discipline remain the key valuation drivers.
What Ashmore sells
Ashmore's business centers on emerging-market debt and equity portfolios, including external debt, local currency debt, corporate debt, alternatives, equities, overlay, liquidity, and multi-asset strategies. That product mix makes the company sensitive to risk appetite, currency moves, and client allocations into emerging markets.
The setup is straightforward for the next earnings window. If inflows or fee margins improve, the stock can re-rate faster than a broad market move would suggest.
Stock view
Ashmore stock is listed in London on the LSE and trades in GBp. The latest quote snapshot puts it at 208.00 GBp, while the sector page shows 222.40 GBX at the August 18, 2026 close.
