Acadian Asset Management Inc.'s stock price plummeted 6.63% during intraday trading on Thursday. The sharp decline followed the company's release of its fourth-quarter financial results.

The asset manager reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.32 for Q4 2025, which fell short of the analyst estimate of $1.39. Furthermore, quarterly sales of $169.7 million missed the expected $187.3 million. While the company announced a record level of assets under management and an increase in quarterly dividend, the market reacted negatively to the earnings and revenue shortfall.
