Franklin Templeton

Franklin Templeton operates in finance-investments with headquarters in San Mateo, CA (founded 1947). The headline market cap of $0B reflects how public markets are pricing the equity right now; it can swing on rates, sector sentiment, and a handful of product cycles. Revenue of $8.7B is shown as a coarse annualized snapshot for orientation—always compare to the latest audited financials.

From a capital-allocation lens, we watch how reinvestment (R&D, capex, M&A) maps to returns and balance-sheet flexibility. A wide gap between revenue growth and multiple expansion often signals shifting expectations about moat durability, regulation, or geographic mix. Where we publish charts, they are built from the site's structured history fields and may be interpolated when filings are sparse—see methodology for limitations.

Competitive benchmarking on this page uses linked peers when available; treat it as a starting point for industry mapping, not a buy/sell screen. Ticker BEN is displayed for convenience; verify exchange codes before trading. Leadership analysis often intersects with the Charles B. Johnson profile—use both together when evaluating governance narratives versus financial outcomes.
