Why Is Artisan Partners Not Exciting?

We don't have much confidence in Artisan Partners. Here are two reasons we avoid APAM and a stock we'd rather own.

1. Long-Term Revenue Growth Disappoints

A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years.

Over the last five years, Artisan Partners grew its revenue at a mediocre 6.8% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmark for the financials sector.

2. EPS Barely Growing

Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) shows whether a company's incremental sales were profitable – for example, revenue could be inflated through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

Artisan Partners’s unimpressive 5% annual EPS growth over the last five years aligns with its revenue performance. This tells us it maintained its per-share profitability as it expanded.

Final Judgment

Artisan Partners’s business quality ultimately falls short of our standards. That said, the stock currently trades at 11.1× forward P/E (or $43.40 per share). While this valuation is reasonable, we don’t really see a big opportunity at the moment. We're fairly confident there are better investments elsewhere. We’d suggest looking at the most entrenched endpoint security platform on the market.
