What matters now

  • A high-quality business (quality 81/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($36.49). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Acadian Asset Management Inc (AAMI) currently trades at $92.24, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $29.19, implying the stock looks roughly 216.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 81/100 (high quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of $38.58 per share, and 0 of the 12 models we run sit above the $92.24 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $24.68, and 12 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Acadian Asset Management Inc generated revenue of $611M at a net margin of 13.8%. Revenue grew 39.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 111.7%. Net debt stands at $222M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $21.89 (bear case) to $36.49 (bull case); at $92.24, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 209% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −28% fair-value upside, at −68%, AAMI screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $1.44 per share, which is 4.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
