SEI Investments stock is the subject of a new Wells Fargo Overweight rating with a USD 129.00 price target, according to MarketBeat on October 3, 2026. The target was presented as 25.94 percent above the prior close cited in that report, putting valuation expectations ahead of the company current trading level.

Analyst target meets split results

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue rose 15.00 percent year over year to USD 641.60 million, while adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 38.00 percent to USD 1.66, Yahoo Finance reported on September 22, 2026. Operating income rose 33.00 percent to USD 197.00 million, lifting the operating margin to 31.00 percent from 27.00 percent in the year-earlier quarter.

The headline growth came with a counterweight. GAAP diluted earnings per share fell 11.00 percent to USD 1.59, and net income attributable to SEI declined 14.00 percent to USD 195.70 million in the second quarter of 2026, even as revenue and operating income advanced.

Growth is concentrated in key units

Investment Managers revenue grew 17.00 percent and operating profit increased 25.00 percent in the second quarter of 2026. Private Banks operating profit rose 39.00 percent, while Investment Advisors revenue climbed 30.00 percent but its operating margin compressed to 42.00 percent from 45.00 percent, according to Yahoo Finance.

That mix matters for the Wells Fargo view. Platform and outsourcing growth is expanding the revenue base, but the margin decline in Investment Advisors shows that higher sales do not automatically translate into stronger profitability across every business line.

Nasdaq range frames the valuation

SEI Investments Company is listed on Nasdaq under ticker SEIC, with USD as its reporting and quotation currency, according to StockAnalysis. The same company profile identifies asset management as the industry and confirms ISIN US7841171033.

As of October 6, 2026, SEIC had a USD 12.3 billion market capitalization and a USD 75.08 to USD 112.15 52-week range. The range places the latest primary-market reference near the upper half of the annual band, while the USD 129.00 Wells Fargo target sits above the cited high by USD 16.85.

Prior close remains the euro reference

SEI Investments had a Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 91.50 on October 6, 2026. For investors using the German market perspective, the euro reference is separate from the Nasdaq figures in USD, so the two price scales should not be combined into one daily move.
