Our Take on LPLA Stock

LPL Financial’s planned buyout of Investment Center, the recent acquisition of Atria Wealth, solid advisor productivity and recruiting efforts will aid advisory revenues. The company is expected to keep expanding through strategic acquisitions, which will help diversify operations. However, uncertainty about the performance of the capital markets is a headwind, which may hurt the company’s financials.

In the past three months, LPLA’s shares have surged 49.2%, outperforming the industry’s growth of 17.9%.
