Acadian Asset's 15-minute chart shows MACD Death Cross, RSI Overbought signal.

Acadian Asset's 15-minute chart has recently exhibited a MACD Death Cross and an RSI Overbought indicator at 08/12/2025 15:45. This suggests that the stock price has the potential to continue declining, as it has risen rapidly and surpassed its fundamental support levels.

Acadian Asset Management (AAMI) recently reported its second-quarter 2025 results, highlighting both strong performance and areas for concern. The company reported a record level of assets under management (AUM) of $151.1 billion and net client cash flows of $13.8 billion, driven by enhanced equity mandates and global equity net inflows [2]. However, the company's net income attributable to controlling interest declined by 8% compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher noncash employee equity plan expenses.

Revenue growth was robust, with gross sales year-to-date in 2025 surpassing the full-year record set in 2024. The company's investment performance remained strong, with 100% of assets in major implementations outperforming benchmarks over three-, five-, and ten-year periods as of June 30, 2025 [2]. Despite this, the company's operating expense ratio decreased to 44.6%, and the variable compensation ratio decreased to 45.4%, contributing to a higher ENI operating margin and strong ENI EPS growth.

However, the company's shares have been volatile, with the 15-minute chart exhibiting a MACD Death Cross and an RSI Overbought indicator on August 12, 2025, at 15:45 [1]. This suggests that the stock price has the potential to continue declining, as it has risen rapidly and surpassed its fundamental support levels.

In terms of guidance, the company expects its ENI operating expense ratio to be 45%-47% and variable compensation ratio of 43%-47% for fiscal year 2025, contingent on equity market levels at the end of Q2 2024 [2]. The company's operating focus remains on further broadening distribution, scaling through product expansion, and closely managing the expense base to maintain margin expansion as the company grows its global client footprint.
