Ameriprise to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards for AMP?

Ameriprise Financial, Inc. AMP is slated to announce second-quarter 2025 results on July 24, before market open. Its quarterly revenues and earnings are expected to have risen year over year.

In the last reported quarter, AMP’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. An increase in revenues and higher assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) balances acted as tailwinds. On the other hand, a rise in expenses might hurt the results to some extent. 

Ameriprise has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once with the average beat being 2.05%.

Q2 Estimates & Key Factors to Note for Ameriprise

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AMP’s management and financial advice fees (constituting more than 60% of total net revenues) is pegged at $2.6 billion, suggesting a 6% rise from the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for the same is $2.57 billion.

The consensus estimate for distribution fees of $522.1 million indicates an increase of 3.4%. Our estimate for the same is $493.7 million. The consensus mark for other revenues of $137.1 million indicates 6.3% growth. Our estimate for the same is pegged at $150.8 million. 

On the other hand, the consensus estimate for net investment income of $841.2 million suggests a decline of 8.7%. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $899.2 million. The consensus estimate for premiums, policy and contract charges is pegged at $377.2 million, indicating a fall of 1%. Our estimate for the same is pinned at $380.2 million.

Decent inflows despite market turmoil are likely to have driven the company’s total AUM and AUA balance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total AUM and AUA is pegged at $1.49 trillion, indicating a rise of 4.4% from the year-ago quarter. Our estimate for the metric is $1.48 trillion.

While Ameriprise’s initiatives to focus on cost management have led to controlled general and administration expenses, overall costs are anticipated to have been elevated in the to-be-reported quarter due to costs related to technology upgrades and hirings. Our estimate for total adjusted operating expenses is pegged at $3.24 billion, implying a year-over-year rise of 6%.
