Liontrust Asset Management (LSE:LIO) reported a decline in adjusted profit before tax for the first half of 2025, even as it advanced several initiatives designed to reinforce its financial standing and broaden its client relationships. The company outlined a series of cost-efficiency measures, launched a share buyback programme, and secured two new institutional mandates valued at £250 million. Although the business continues to face challenges in generating sustained net inflows, management remains confident about future growth, supported by stronger client engagement efforts and a more diversified investment approach that reduces concentration in US large-cap equities.
The company’s outlook reflects supportive valuation metrics, including a relatively low price-to-earnings ratio and an attractive dividend yield that may signal undervaluation. Still, technical indicators point to bearish momentum, highlighting downside risk. While the firm demonstrates operational discipline, the underlying trends in revenue and cash flow underscore areas that require improvement.
