Ashmore Group plc stock (ISIN GB00B132NW22) closed at 212.4 pence on September 8, 2026 on the London Stock Exchange, a level that stands 41.6 percent above Deutsche Bank’s newly raised price target of 150 pence for the emerging markets asset manager.
Analyst targets diverge on valuation
According to ad-hoc-news on September 9, 2026, Deutsche Bank lifted its price target for Ashmore stock from a lower level to 150 pence while maintaining a cautious stance, noting that the shares had closed at 212.4 pence on September 8, 2026 and therefore traded 41.6 percent above this revised target.
In contrast, Jefferies reiterated a more optimistic view. As The Globe and Mail reported on September 9, 2026, Jefferies reaffirmed its Buy rating on Ashmore Group plc and set a price target of 285.0 pence, implying significant upside from the recent closing level.
The same Jefferies-based overview cited by The Globe and Mail noted that the broader analyst consensus stands at a Moderate Sell rating with an average price target of 205.0 pence for Ashmore stock, highlighting how Jefferies’ 285.0 pence target sits well above the consensus while Deutsche Bank’s 150 pence target lies markedly below it.
Recent results show higher assets and earnings
Fundamentally, Ashmore has reported growing assets under management and earnings in its latest fiscal year. According to ad-hoc-news, in fiscal year 2026 Ashmore’s assets under management reached 54.0 billion USD, supported by a net inflow of 2.7 billion USD over the year.
The same report states that Ashmore generated diluted earnings per share of 15.0 pence in fiscal year 2026, and that assets under management rose by 13 percent compared with the prior fiscal year, underlining the operational momentum behind the asset manager’s business.
For investors, the combination of a 13 percent year-on-year increase in assets under management to 54.0 billion USD and earnings per share of 15.0 pence in fiscal year 2026 provides a fundamental backdrop that helps explain why the market price of 212.4 pence sits above the 205.0 pence average analyst target but below Jefferies’ more bullish 285.0 pence view.
