Schroders stock has started 2020 on a positive note, moving quite bullish from £27 in January to £34 in February. Going further, the SDR share price was seriously hit by the major sell-off caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown measures. The SDR stock price dropped from £34 in February to £17 in March, the lowest level seen since June 2016.

However, the company’s diversified business model enabled it to rebound and deliver resilient performance in the first half of 2020 despite the tough market environment. According to Schroders’ 2020 half-year results, the profit before tax was £306.2m, just 10 per cent below the £340.4m earned for the same period last year. The company released a net income of £1,003m, which is only 2.8 per cent below the income for the same period in 2019.

Looking at the SDR stock price today, you can see that in a one-year period the Schroders share value has been fluctuating within a range of £17-£34. Since the large sell-off in March 2020, the SDR stock quote grew from  £17 to £31 on June 8, 2020, a growth of 82 per cent.
