Find companies with promising cash flow potential yet trading below their fair value.

To own SEI Investments, you really have to believe in its ability to keep turning a technology-heavy, outsourced investment platform into consistent, high-quality earnings, while using dividends and buybacks to quietly enhance per-share value. The latest quarter reinforces that story: record profitability, solid full-year growth, and another US$101 million of repurchases show management still leaning into capital return. At the same time, the first close of the Stratos partnership and the hire of Paul Lehman both speak directly to one of the key short term catalysts, which is deeper penetration of bank and adviser channels. The near term risk is that expectations have now moved higher after the earnings beat and share price strength, so any slowdown in new mandates, outsourcing wins, or margin progress could hit sentiment faster than before.

However, insider selling and a premium to some fair value models are signals investors should not ignore. SEI Investments’ shares are on the way up, but they could be overextended by 24%. Uncover the fair value now.
