AMG reports record FY2025 earnings as alternatives expand
The supplied call analysis supports a growth case centered on alternatives: management reported record 2025 earnings and net client cash flows, while alternatives contributed about 60% of EBITDA. The durability of that trajectory depends on continued inflows, affiliate execution and performance-fee contribution; equity outflows and affiliate concentration remain counterweights.
