Quilter stock (ISIN GB00BNHSJN34) was last at GBp 174.90 on the London Stock Exchange on October 2, 2026 at 4:35 p.m. London time, down 0.11 percent from the previous close. On October 3, IFA Magazine reported that Quilter Cheviot appointed Fergus Caheny as head of London and Louise Williams as finance director, with both changes tied to the business's next growth phase.

Profit rises as assets recover

For the first half ended June 30, 2026, adjusted profit before tax rose 12 percent to GBP 112 million, according to Financial Planning Today. The same report put assets under management and administration at GBP 154.5 billion on June 30, 2026, up 9 percent from GBP 141.9 billion on March 31, 2026.

The operating improvement came alongside GBP 5.8 billion of net inflows and a 25 percent year-over-year increase in assets, figures that connect Quilter's earnings performance with client demand rather than market valuation alone. The company also increased its restricted financial planner count by 9 to 1,462 during the half-year period, according to Financial Planning Today.

Analysts set a higher valuation bar

MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026 that seven analysts held a Moderate Buy consensus, with six Buy ratings and one Hold rating. The average 12-month price target was GBp 210.86, so the price target lies 20.6 percent above the October 2 price of GBp 174.90.

The broker detail shows a divided but upward-revised view: Berenberg raised its target from GBp 215 to GBp 220 and kept a Buy rating, while Citigroup lifted its target from GBp 195 to GBp 210 and retained a Neutral rating, according to MarketBeat. That spread puts execution and margin delivery alongside asset growth as the central test for the valuation.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Quilter stock traded between GBp 172.10 and GBp 175.00 on October 2, 2026, with volume of 2,222,110 shares. At GBp 174.90, the stock stood 16.3 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 209.00 and 8.7 percent above its 52-week low of GBp 160.90.

The company has also set October 20, 2026 as the date for its third-quarter sales and revenue release, according to MarketScreener. That report will give investors the next quantified check on inflows, assets and the profit trend.
