Ticonderoga maintains a 'Neutral' on T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW).

Ticonderoga analyst says, "TROW reported EPS of $0.72, below our $0.75 estimate. The miss is a function of slightly lower revenue and slightly higher costs. Net revenues were $682 million, below our $689 million estimate. This is a shorter quarter for days, and that likely played more of a role than we were modeling."

"We are lowering our 2011 and 2012 estimates marginally to reflect for the miss and marginally higher taxes. Our full-year EPS estimates are now $3.09 and $3.37, respectively, compared with $3.12 and 3.38 previously. Flow dynamic looks pretty healthy, and positive life cycle is a good read-through for overall better retail tone. However, a Neutral rating still feels appropriate as shares are trading at a ~30% premium."
