Franklin Resources stock (ISIN US3546131018) was trading at USD 33.23 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, up 1.26 percent from the prior close. The move gives investors a fresh market signal as fiscal Q3 revenue rose 14.3 percent to USD 2.36 billion, according to Financial Report Insights in an analysis published September 25, 2026.

Revenue growth meets uneven profit

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, total operating revenue reached USD 2,358.4 million, compared with USD 2,064.0 million in fiscal Q3 2025. The same analysis reported adjusted diluted EPS of USD 0.72, up 46.9 percent from USD 0.49, while GAAP diluted EPS rose to USD 0.31 from USD 0.15.

The contrast matters because adjusted operating margin stood at 28.0 percent, while GAAP operating margin was 9.2 percent in fiscal Q3 2026. A USD 100.0 million SEC civil penalty tied to Western Asset was among the charges that widened the gap between the two profit measures, according to Financial Report Insights.

Hold consensus stays close to price

According to MarketBeat on September 27, 2026, the consensus rating was Hold, based on four Buy, six Hold and two Sell ratings. The average price target was USD 33.10, with targets from USD 26.00 to USD 41.00; the target lies 0.4 percent below the October 5 price of USD 33.23.

That narrow gap leaves the earnings trend as the more important differentiator. Franklin Resources also managed USD 1.79 trillion in assets at the latest reported quarter, while long-term net inflows reached USD 18.4 billion, according to the fiscal Q3 analysis.
