GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG) 

GQG Partners Inc (ASX: GQG) is a global boutique asset management firm specializing in the active management of equity portfolios for a diverse client base, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, wealth managers, and institutional investors. 

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at AUD 1.855

  • Technical Standpoint: GQG’s share price has surpassed the R2 level recommended on 10 November 2025. The 14-day RSI is now around 74.35, trading in overbought territory. This upward move raises the risk of short-term consolidation or downside retracement.
  • Higher operating cost intensity: Total operating expenses increased to USD 96.3 million in H1 FY25, from USD 89.9 million in H1FY24, indicating rising cost pressure.
  • Decline in performance fee income: Performance fees fell to USD 13.8 million in H1 FY25, from USD 19.4 million in H1 FY24, reflecting reduced variable revenue.
  • Business Risk: GQG Partners faces exposure to fluctuations in fund flows and market performance, where periods of weaker relative returns can drive client redemptions, reduce fee income, and heighten operational uncertainty tied to maintaining investment talent and strategy stability.
  • Overvalued Multiples: On a forward 12-month – key valuation multiples (EV/Sales, and Price/Book) are higher than average of the Financials’ sector.

Valuation Methodology: Price/Book Value Approach (FY Dec'26E) (Illustrative)

The stock may trade at a slight premium to peers given the lift in total revenue to USD 403.0 million in H1 FY25 from USD 363.1 million in H1 FY24, the increase in net income to USD 230.2 million from USD 201.2 million, and the expansion in cash to USD 100.3 million from USD 94.4 million over the same period.

For conducting the valuation, peers including Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG), AUB Group Ltd (ASX: AUB), HUB24 Ltd (ASX: HUB) and others have been considered.

Given the stock is approaching to its R2 level, recent rally in the share price, and risks associated, it is prudent to sell the stock at the current levels. Hence, a ‘Sell’ recommendation is given on the stock at the current market price of AUD 1.855, as of 28 November 2025, at 12:10 PM AEDT. 

Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic issues and geopolitical issues prevailing geopolitical tensions. Therefore, it is prudent to follow a cautious approach while investing.
