Man Group stock (ISIN JE00BJ1DLW90) gained after UBS upgraded it to buy on September 17, 2026 and lifted the price target to 365p from 335p, pointing to a solid performance from AHL, the firm's trend-following fund suite. The shares trade in London, where the broker call gave investors a fresh 30p target increase to assess.
UBS points to AHL
According to Sharecast, UBS said on September 17, 2026 that AHL had performed solidly and that the stock deserved a higher target. That call matters because the new 365p target sits 8.9 percent above the old 335p level.
Man Group's fund platform also showed a recent scale marker: the Man Funds VI plc - Man Alternative Style Risk Premia I H AUD fund listed assets of AUD 657,706,989.72 with a reporting status dated September 8, 2026. The same fund page shows the net asset value at AUD 156.07, down AUD 0.01, or 0.01 percent, from the prior day on September 17, 2026.
What investors watch
For investors, the AHL line is the clearest near-term driver because UBS tied its upgrade directly to the trend-following business. The comparison is concrete: 365p versus 335p, with the call published on September 20, 2026 and referring to the September 17, 2026 research update.
Price and scale
The Man Group stock price line is best read together with the broker view and the fund platform data. The current London quotation, market capitalization and 52-week range were not available in the search results for this call, so the most recent dated value carried here is the AUD 657,706,989.72 fund asset base reported on September 8, 2026 and the AUD 156.07 NAV on September 17, 2026.
