Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Cohen & Steers, Inc. trades at $73.43, which is 66% below the $122.05 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 62 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 26.0 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.

Common questions
Is Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $122.05, CNS at $73.43 is 66% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own CNS?
11 of the institutions we track reported a position in CNS in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is CNS's P/E ratio?
CNS trades at 26.0 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Cohen & Steers, Inc. (CNS) pay a dividend?
Yes. Cohen & Steers, Inc. yields 3.17% at the current share price. It has paid $2.63 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 22 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
When does CNS report earnings next?
Cohen & Steers, Inc. is scheduled to report on 15 Oct 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
