Company reports Diluted EPS of $6.95, Economic EPS of $8.29 in the second quarter of 2026
JUPITER, Fla., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMG, a strategic partner to leading independent investment management firms globally, today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“AMG delivered another quarter of excellent results, with year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA and Economic earnings per share of 44% and 54%, respectively. Net client cash flows of approximately $13 billion in the quarter, and more than $35 billion in the year to date, reflect the ongoing strength in alternative strategies, which generated net inflows of approximately $29 billion in the quarter and approximately $58 billion in the first half. The momentum across our business highlights the successful execution of our strategy and the evolution of our earnings profile, as sustained organic growth in alternative strategies continues to increase their contribution to AMG’s earnings.
“More broadly, over the last 12 months, our assets under management have increased by approximately $171 billion, or 22%, including approximately $69 billion from growth investments in new Affiliates and approximately $56 billion in net client cash flows. Looking ahead, we see increasing opportunities to invest in growth through both new and existing Affiliates, further expanding our participation in areas of secular demand and enhancing our long-term prospects.
“Given the strength of our business, our increasing cash flow generation, flexible capital position, and distinct competitive advantages — including our worldwide reputation as a collaborative strategic partner to the highest-quality independent firms — we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on attractive growth opportunities, drive durable earnings growth, and create meaningful long-term value for our shareholders.”
