T. Rowe Price Group’s narrative projects $7.9 billion revenue and $2.1 billion earnings by 2029. This requires 2.1% yearly revenue growth and about a $0.1 billion earnings increase from $2.0 billion today.

You should recognize how wide these opinion gaps can be and consider whether this latest management move, and the ETF push behind it, might eventually soften or reinforce those weaker revenue assumptions.
