    Franklin Resources: An asset management survivor Graphic_rating_buy BEN
    +0.56%
    in 30 days

    Filed under: Stocks to Buy

    The Franklin Resources (NYSE: BEN) Buy call, issued on July 20, 2009 at a price of $73.88, is panning out, which is why I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for the company' shares. If you bought BEN in July, you're up about 54%.

    The advice furnished here is to avoid stand-alone money managers as equity plays, but Franklin is an exception. BEN's double-digit asset growth should continue in FY2010 aided by an improved asset mix, and better fund performance across asset classes. BEN's relatively strong balance sheet and declining debt liabilities fleshes-out the positive sto...

    Franklin Resources: A Bull Market Stock to Buy Now

    While I’m tempted to recommend the Joe Montana rookie card as my investment idea (seriously … I saw a few on eBay), I’ll get back to the stock market. My idea this time is a stock that showed up in Cabot Top Ten Report a few weeks ago, and has since traded extremely tightly.

    It’s a big, “bull market” stock–Franklin Resources (BEN), the huge asset manager that operates Franklin Templeton Investments with more than $400 billion of assets under management. At the end of June, 46% of assets were equity, fixed-income 33%, and so-called hybrid assets accounting for the rest.
