Invesco Shares Soar 2.66% on Strategic Buyback, LGT Partnership Boosting Growth Confidence

Invesco’s share price climbed to its highest level since the start of this month, surging 2.66% intraday on Jan. 6, 2026. The rally follows a strategic preference share buyback and a partnership with LGT Capital Partners, signaling management’s confidence in liquidity and growth opportunities in private markets.

The stock’s 52-week gain of 52.6% reflects strong earnings momentum, with analysts projecting a 9.6% year-over-year rise in Q4 2025 earnings per share. A $500 million buyback of preference shares at an 18% premium earlier in December 2025 underscored financial strength, while the LGT collaboration aims to expand U.S. access to private assets—a sector expected to grow to $13 trillion by 2030. These moves reinforce Invesco’s positioning in a sector seeking alternative yields amid low public market valuations.

Analysts maintain a “Moderate Buy” rating, with a $27.69 price target implying a 2.8% upside. Institutional ownership at 44.58% highlights sensitivity to large-scale trading, though a 14.3% dividend increase in December 2025—raising the annualized payout to $3.18—signals commitment to shareholder returns. Risks include interest rate volatility and regulatory shifts, yet Invesco’s diversified fee structure and expansion into non-correlated assets position it to navigate macroeconomic uncertainties.
