What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

• Raymond James lifted its price target for SEI Investments by US$12 on 29 April 2026. This suggests the firm sees support for a higher valuation based on its assessment of the business outlook.

• Piper Sandler and Keefe Bruyette each raised their targets on 23 April 2026, by US$6 and US$12 respectively. This points to a more constructive view on SEI Investments’ ability to execute on its plans and sustain its earnings profile.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

• Earlier in April, Morgan Stanley reduced its price target by US$11, indicating that it viewed prior expectations as too optimistic relative to its assessment of valuation and projected performance.

• Piper Sandler and Keefe Bruyette also cut their targets on 7 April and 8 April 2026, by US$7 and US$12. This shows that some analysts see risks around SEI Investments’ growth trajectory or delivery against prior expectations, even if views later became more constructive.
