T. Rowe Price posted adjusted EPS of $2.52 for Q1 2026, beating the $2.37 consensus estimate by roughly 6% and representing 13% growth year-over-year. Revenue of approximately $1.84 billion came in modestly above the $1.85 billion estimate, driven by higher investment advisory fees and accrued carried interest on the back of average AUM of $1.78 trillion, up nearly 10% from a year ago. The quarter's earnings improvement was aided by disciplined expense management, a lower tax rate, and a reduced share count following $340 million in buybacks concentrated toward quarter-end, a notably elevated pace that management explicitly tied to perceived value in the stock.
