Profits, Big Money Inflows Send SEI Shares Higher

SEI is a financial services company offering financial and technology services to wealth managers, banks, and other investment managers. It also processes investments and offers investment management solutions for customers around the world. SEI recently conducted its first global client symposium, which is a key part of its strategy to grow alongside client engagement.

As for earnings, SEIC’s latest report showed an 18% gain in per-share earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, to $1.17. The company said its sales strategy and cost management efforts helped drive performance, which is reflected in its 28.5% operating profit margin. SEIC generated a record $47 million in net sales in the quarter, much of it being recurring revenue. Also, a $500 million share repurchase plan was authorized, signaling growth intent ahead.

It’s no wonder SEIC shares are up almost 26% in a year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
