Invesco (IVZ) has drawn fresh attention after announcing Invesco Solutions & Custom Strategies, a unified global platform that combines its public and private market capabilities with customization for wealth and institutional clients.

Invesco's launch of Solutions & Custom Strategies comes after a period where the stock has shown building momentum, with a 30 day share price return of 8.42%, a year to date share price return of 20.45%, and a 1 year total shareholder return of 54.86%.

For Invesco, recent share price strength and the new Solutions & Custom Strategies platform support a more optimistic narrative, while the counterview points to revenue pressure and recent losses. Which side does the current valuation appear to favor?

Most Popular Narrative: 100% Undervalued

Invesco's most followed valuation story puts fair value at $32.79, very close to the last close of $32.45, and builds a detailed case for that outcome.

The analysts have a consensus price target of $32.79 for Invesco based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of $38.0, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just $28.0.

Want to see what kind of earnings recovery and margin shift sits behind that fair value label? The narrative leans on a sharp profit swing, changing revenue mix, and a very specific earnings multiple that might surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of $32.79 (UNDERVALUED)

However, investors in Invesco still need to watch for pressure on revenue from the shift toward lower fee products and from any setback in execution on cost efficiencies.
