See our latest analysis for T. Rowe Price Group.

The leadership reshuffle lands at a time when the stock has a 90 day share price return of 10.1%, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 17.7% contrasts with a 5 year total shareholder return that has declined 32.5%. This suggests momentum has picked up recently, although long term holders have faced a tougher run.
