LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:LPLA) registered total brokerage and advisory assets of $566.4 billion in October 2017, reflecting an increase of 1.1% from the previous month. Of these, brokerage assets were $311.6 billion, while advisory assets were $254.8 billion.

However, LPL Financial’s total net new assets decreased to $0.6 billion in October from $0.9 billion in the prior month.

The company reported $27.7 billion of total client cash sweep balances for October, declining 2.1% from September. Of the total cash balance, $21.5 billion was insured cash, $3.9 billion was deposit cash and the remaining $2.3 billion was money market balance.

Given that global equity markets are gradually stabilizing, trading activities are likely to improve. Also, LPL Financial has been extending its offerings to all affiliated advisors, which is expected to help the company grab greater market share.

LPL Financial’s price performance seems encouraging. Shares of the company have rallied 40% so far this year, outperforming 7% growth for the industry it belongs to. Given the strong fundamentals, we expect this upbeat price performance to continue in the near term as well.



Nonetheless, the company’s Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has remained stable over the last seven days. As a result, LPL Financial currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
