Company Overview

Founded in 1986 as a pioneer in real estate investment trusts (REITs), Cohen & Steers (NYSE: CNS) is an investment manager specializing in real estate securities, infrastructure, real assets, and preferred securities for institutional and individual investors.

Revenue Growth

A company’s long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can have short-term success, but a top-tier one grows for years. Over the last five years, Cohen & Steers grew its revenue at a mediocre 6.2% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmark for the financials sector and is a rough starting point for our analysis.

Cohen & Steers Quarterly Revenue

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Cohen & Steers’s annualized revenue growth of 5.5% over the last two years aligns with its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was consistently weak.
