Simply Wall St Financial Health Rating: ★★★★★★

Overview: Impax Asset Management Group Plc is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of £313.05 million.

Operations: The company generated £170.11 million in revenue from its investment management activities.

Market Cap: £313.05M

Impax Asset Management Group Plc, with a market cap of £313.05 million, has shown resilience despite recent earnings declines. The company reported £170.11 million in revenue for the year ending September 2024, though net income decreased to £36.48 million from the previous year. Impax remains debt-free and its short-term assets significantly exceed both short and long-term liabilities, indicating solid financial health. However, its dividend sustainability is questionable as it represents 87% of adjusted profit. The management team is experienced with an average tenure of 13.9 years, but the board's relative inexperience may pose governance challenges moving forward.
