T. ROWE PRICE GROUP INC. $71
(Nasdaq symbol TROW; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Finance sector; Shares outstanding: 256.2 million; Market cap: $18.2 billion; Priceto- sales ratio: 4.2; Dividend yield: 2.9%; TSINetwork Rating: Average; www.troweprice.com) earned $1.24 a share in the second quarter of 2015, up 9.7% from $1.13 a year earlier.

Revenue gained 10.2%, to $942.2 million from $855.3 million. On June 30, 2015, the company had $773.0 billion of assets under management, up 3.5% from $746.8 billion at the end of 2014.

T. Rowe Price’s fee income varies with the value of the securities it administers. As a result, the recent drop in stock prices will likely hurt its earnings in the second half of 2015. Even so, its full-year earnings should improve by 6.4%, to $4.84 a share. The stock trades at a moderate 14.7 times that forecast.

T. Rowe Price is a buy.
