State Street
The financial services company is scheduled to report its first-quarter earnings on April 16. Analysts, on average, anticipate earnings of 88 cents a share on revenue of $2.34 billion.
"STT comes closest in our view to a pure play on the core business of asset servicing, providing key functions to fund managers worldwide," Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts wrote in a March 16 report. "It generates 43% of its revenue from servicing, driven mainly by the value of serviced assets, with another 26% coming from an investing portfolio funded largely by client deposits." Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 2.1% Rated "B (Buy)" by TheStreet Ratings: The company's fourth-quarter gross profit margin was about the same as it was last year. In the fourth quarter, stockholders' net worth increased 9.05% from the prior year. TheStreet Ratings' price target is $51.99. The stock closed Tuesday at $45.49 and has risen 12.85% year to date.Select the service that is right for you!
