T. Rowe Price Group stock fell in 2026 mainly due to continued client fund outflows and weak earnings performance that weighed on investor sentiment. The asset manager reported net outflows of nearly $5.3 billion in February 2026, following a similar trend, indicating that more investors are withdrawing money than adding new funds. Since asset managers earn fees based on assets under management, this trend raises concerns about future revenue growth.

Additionally, the company reported adjusted EPS of $2.44 for Q4 2025, which missed analyst estimates, although it was up 15.1% from $2.12 in Q4 2024.

In addition, its competitor, BlackRock, Inc. (BLK) has outperformed TROW with a 4.5% gain over the past 52 weeks and a 11.1% YTD decline.
