What the Analysts think about Ares Management

Analyst projections of the future price of Ares Management stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Ares raised a record $36.4 billion in the second quarter, and fee-paying AUM grew 17% year on year to $409.9 billion. Fee-related earnings rose 20%, showing that strong fundraising is translating into recurring earnings growth. (Reuters, PR Newswire)
Ares has $114 billion of AUM not yet paying fees, including $92.6 billion available for future deployment, which could generate about $828 million in annual management fees if deployed. Its record $170 billion of available capital also gives it capacity to invest as opportunities emerge. (The Motley Fool)
Credit performance offers some support for the business: Ares reported US direct-lending non-accruals below 2% and portfolio-company EBITDA growth of 9% year on year. If those trends hold, they would help protect investment returns and future fundraising. (The Motley Fool)
Credit conditions are becoming less forgiving: Ares reported that US loan defaults had risen to 1.6% by April and warned that weaker borrowers face greater default and refinancing risks. A deterioration in the loans it manages could hurt fund performance and investor confidence. (Ares Management)
Sponsor-backed M&A activity remained subdued amid geopolitical uncertainty, according to Reuters. If deal activity stays weak, Ares may take longer to deploy its large pool of uninvested capital and convert it into fees and performance income. (Reuters)
Ares shares had rebounded more than 40% since April by early September, while one analyst judged the shares to be trading above 20 times earnings. That valuation leaves less room for error if fundraising or earnings growth slows. (Seeking Alpha)
