Barclays Feels Franklin Resources (BEN) Deserves a Premium; Increase in June AUM

Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Franklin Resources (NYSE: BEN) price target of $139.00.

Analyst, Roger A. Freeman, doesn't expect any meaningful move after BEN reported a 3% sequential increase in assets under management (AUM) (but down 3% for the quarter). Freeman said the overall report was basically in-line with views, but positive inflows in this environment is a plus and should continue to justify the reason why BEN trades at a premium to peers.
