Trumpflation Positions Cohen & Steers Poorly Due To Real Estate And Preferred Focus
Summary Cohen & Steers (CNS) faces AUM declines due to asset depreciation in REITs and preferred shares amid persistent inflation affecting bond markets. This could be a portent for incoming outflows or inflow deceleration. At any rate, the macro changes don't favour long-duration asset ETFs that CNS focuses on. Despite positive net inflows, revenue growth was offset by rising expenses, resulting in flat EPS. Management still expects 6-7% G&A growth in 2025, and we aren't sure there'll be the positive beta effect in their markets to be able to keep revenues ahead of that.
