Franklin Resources is redirecting post-dividend free cash flow from share repurchases to business investments. 'Enhancing technology infrastructure and business processes' is a stated priority, indicating budget availability for IT modernization, automation, and operational growth projects.
Filing excerpt
While we expect to continue to repurchase shares to offset dilution from stock-based compensation, and expect to continue to repurchase shares opportunistically from time to time, we will likely spend more of our post-dividend free cash flow investing in our business, including seed capital and acquiring resources to help grow our investment groups and operations.
