ICE, KKR, TROW

Goldman Sachs analyst Alexander Blostein downgraded T. Rowe Price (TROW) to Neutral with a $93 price target. The analyst also removed the shares of KKR (KKR) and IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) from his firm's Americas Conviction List, but keeps Buy ratings on both. Blostein continues to view T. Rowe as "one of the strongest active management franchises" in a challenging environment for traditional asset managers, but he believes "risks to the stock are building." Flows are likely to decelerate "meaningfully" as T. Rowe's three-year excess returns in parts on equities and particularly in fixed income are declining and broader retail rotation out of equities remains a risk, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
