Memo

AMERIPRISE FINANCIAL, INC. (AMP). Latest full fiscal year: 2025; data up to 2026-09-30.

Figures computed from the financial statements: revenue 18.9 bn USD in 2025; YoY growth 5.5%; net margin 20.7%; ROE 72.0%.

The estimated value range is 586.82–662.01 USD per share (median of 2 methods, agreement: low); assumptions are illustrative. Against the central value of 649.52 USD, the price of 527.41 USD leaves a potential of 23.2% (value / price − 1) and a margin of safety of 18.8% (1 − price / value). The range is the median of the methods' low, central and high values, not a probability interval.

Insufficient data for a verdict (score weight coverage: 58.3% of at least 60%).

Text generated deterministically from the figures shown; no language model. Not investment advice.

What supports the thesis

  • FCF conversion: 176.2%
  • Revenue CAGR 3Y: 9.7%
  • P/E (TTM): 11.9x
  • FCF yield: 16.0%
  • Shareholder yield (distributions): 8.9%
  • Payout ratio (FCF): 8.2%
  • The price is below the estimated value range

What contradicts it

  • The valuation methods diverge

Not assessed (insufficient data or a ratio without meaning): ROIC, Net debt / EBITDA, Interest coverage, Current ratio, EV/EBITDA.

Market context

Demand for financial advice is supported by baby boomers moving into retirement and younger generations building wealth, with the primary segment targeting households holding between 500,000 and 5,000,000 USD in investable assets 1. Asset values, however, depend on financial market performance, so revenues are sensitive to swings in equity markets and interest rates 1.

In the second quarter of 2026, net client flows were positive in Advice & Wealth Management, while Asset Management recorded net outflows, pointing to differentiated demand across segments 3. Year-on-year asset growth was driven mainly by market appreciation and wrap flows 3.

  • Demand for wrap and banking productstailwind
