Cohen & Steers (CNS) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Oct 12 close
$68.99−0.27 (−0.4%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryOct 12 closeThis week's news for Cohen & Steers centers on its preliminary assets under management, reported at $95.9 billion as of September 30, down $5.1 billion from August, attributed primarily to market depreciation and distributions, partly offset by net inflows into open-end and closed-end funds. Separately, Evercore ISI raised its price target on CNS from USD 88.00 to USD 89.00 while maintaining an "Outperform" rating ahead of the company's Q3 2026 earnings report. A Morningstar report also characterized the firm as a niche asset manager focused on real estate securities, noting that real estate securities make up nearly two-thirds of its $102.5 billion in assets.
CNS closed at $68.99, down 0.4%, sitting between its 50-day average of $77.96 and 200-day average of $71.68, with one-month and three-month returns of -8% and -10.5% respectively, against a 52-week range of $58.39 to $86.56. The GekkoIndex reads 73.9, placing the stock in the Buying zone, up 5.3 over five periods. The price sits 10.9% below Gekko Fair Value of $77.47.
Earnings are due on 15 October 2026, two days away and within a typical 20-trading-day hold, following a Q4 report where EPS of $0.81 matched estimates but produced a -5% reaction; the average absolute reaction has run 3.8%.
