Fiscal year ended 2025-09-30Valuation, from the filing
| Public float | $5.90B | Market value of stock held by non-affiliates, as stated on the cover page for 2025-03-31 |
|---|---|---|
| Float per share | $11.33 | Float divided by shares outstanding in the same filing. A floor under the share price on that date, not the price itself. |
| Float / net income | 11.2× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / revenue | 0.7× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
| Float / equity | 0.5× | A lower bound on the multiple, because affiliate holdings are excluded. |
Every figure here is drawn from the 10-K cover page and the statements behind it, so each one traces to a filing. Public float counts only stock held by non-affiliates, which makes these floors rather than estimates: a high multiple is conclusive, a low one may mean cheap or may mean closely held. The float was measured on 2025-03-31, not today, and each multiple below it uses the figures for the fiscal year ending 2025-09-30 — the year that filing covered.
Valuation over time
11.2× earnings today, against a median of 8.2× across 10 years on record. Above its own history.
| Float measured | Public float | Float / net income | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-03-31 | $5.90B | 11.2× | |
| 2024-03-31 | $8.70B | 18.7× | |
| 2023-03-31 | $7.70B | 8.7× | |
| 2022-03-31 | $7.90B | 6.1× | |
| 2021-03-31 | $8.50B | 4.6× | |
| 2020-03-31 | $4.60B | 5.8× | |
| 2019-03-29 | $9.40B | 7.9× | |
| 2018-03-29 | $11.00B | 14.4× | |
| 2017-03-31 | $14.20B | 8.4× | |
| 2016-03-31 | $14.00B | 8.1× |
Each float is paired with the fiscal year the filing that stated it covers. Only years where the company reported positive net income appear, because a multiple against a loss is not a multiple.
How this compares in its industry
Percentile among the Investment Advice filers on this site, highest value first. A high percentile means a large figure, which is good for a margin and not for leverage — the ranking says where the company sits, not whether that is where it should be.
| Measure | Reported | Percentile | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effective tax rate | 30.2% | 100th | |
| Net margin | 6.0% | 16th | |
| Long-term debt / equity | 0.18x | 18th | |
| CapEx / revenue | 1.8% | 79th | |
| Operating margin | 6.9% | 22th | |
| SBC / revenue | 2.4% | 29th | |
| FCF margin | 10.4% | 30th | |
| Revenue YoY growth | 3.5% | 34th |
FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INC (BEN) reported revenue of $8.77B and net income of $524.90M for the fiscal year ended 2025-09-30. This page shows 10 annual periods of income statement, balance sheet and cash flow figures normalized from FRANKLIN TEMPLETON INC’s SEC filings, each linked to the filing it came from. It is classified by the SEC under Investment Advice.
Banks, brokers and insurers present a top line that is not comparable with an operating company’s revenue: it is reported net of interest expense, or as premiums earned, depending on the filer. The figures are the filer’s own and are traceable to the filing; the comparison across classes is what does not hold.

Reconciliation checks needing review
1 period on this page do not reconcile under this site’s normalization. Read that as a limitation here before an observation about the company: the figures are the filer’s own, the filings linked above are authoritative, and a difference usually means the concepts this site selected do not match how this filer presents its statements. Nothing is adjusted to make a check pass.
