Published on 09/03/2026 at 09:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (US04316A1088) closed at USD 41.29 on September 2, 2026, down 0.99 percent, after extended trading printed USD 41.85. The stock also sits inside a 52-week range of USD 33.96 to USD 47.50, with market value at USD 3.35 billion.
Lower target, same quarter
According to an Argus report via Yahoo Finance, the target price for APAM was raised to USD 48.00 on August 26, 2026, while MarketBeat shows a consensus target of USD 38.00. The gap to the September 2 close is concrete: USD 48.00 implies 16.2 percent upside from USD 41.29, while USD 38.00 implies 8.0 percent downside.
The latest quarterly numbers also matter. MarketBeat says Artisan Partners reported EPS of USD 0.94 for the quarter ended July 28, 2026, beating the USD 0.91 consensus by USD 0.03, and revenue was up 8.9 percent year over year.
What the numbers say
That mix explains why the stock has not detached from its range. The market is pricing a business with a USD 41.29 close, a USD 3.35 billion market capitalization and a dividend yield of 7.75 percent, while the latest quarter still showed an EPS beat of 3.3 percent versus consensus.
For investors, the key comparison is simple: price and targets are close, but operating momentum is still coming through in the latest quarter. The share price is only 1.3 percent above the start of 2026 level of USD 40.74, according to MarketBeat.
July 28 still counts
Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. runs active, research-driven strategies across equity, fixed income and alternative asset classes. Its latest quarter on July 28, 2026, gave the market a fresh reference point: USD 0.94 EPS and revenue growth of 8.9 percent year over year.
Stock level to watch
The stock ended September 2, 2026 at USD 41.29, with after-hours trading at USD 41.85. The 52-week band of USD 33.96 to USD 47.50 leaves the shares between support and the upper end of the range.
