Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Buy Rating On Shares Of Apollo Global Management, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target by $15 to $150 using a narrower equity risk premium that still reflects APO's strong 20%+ fee earnings growth and robust AUM growth. Our target reflects a forward P/E of 16.6x versus a three-year historical average of 16.3x forward earnings. We were too optimistic in our EPS outlook and have lowered our 2026 EPS by $0.50 to $9.00 and 2027's by $0.70 to $10.75, both near consensus, on projected revenue of $5.3B and $6.3B, respectively. A risk to our rating is share price volatility led by concerns about lower-quality direct loans or private equity exposure to AI's potential disruption of software companies. On the earnings call, APO stated that low-quality direct loans (non-investment grade) exposed to AI disruption in technology firms are not material to total AUM. Of $1,026B in total AUM, Credit represented $834B (81% of total) and Equity represented $192B (19%). For 2026, APO is guiding toward 20%+ fee earnings, with 75% of revenue from established Credit businesses and 25% from Equity.

Research Alert: Apo Delivers Strong Q1 2026 Results With Record Fee-related Earnings

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:APO delivered strong Q1 2026 results with record fee-related earnings of $728M (+30% Y/Y) and adjusted net income of $1.94 per share. Total AUM surpassed the $1T milestone at $1.026T (+31% Y/Y) due to record inflows of $115B, while fee-generating AUM was $836B (+40% Y/Y). We think the ALT investment cycle is accelerating with higher private equity monetization activity, positioning APO as a market leader in private credit. Even with negative media on private credit, APO's Credit segment realized $108B in quarterly inflows and outflow of $20B. APO did not provide specific 2026 guidance, but trends are favorable, in our view. Management fees grew 24% Y/Y to $952M, with perpetual capital representing 60% of total AUM. We think APO is well-positioned for accelerated performance fee monetization with $74B in dry powder and superior credit quality at 11 bps losses versus 12 bps industry average. The firm returned $1.5B to shareholders through dividends and repurchases while implementing a new $4.0B buyback program.

Market Chatter: Investment Giants Vie for Shell Stake in LNG Canada

Private equity giants Apollo Global Management (APO), Blackstone (BX), and KKR (KKR) are the final contenders in a high-stakes auction for a significant portion of Shell's (SHEL) 40% stake in LNG Canada, Reuters reported Thursday, citing sources.The asset has become increasingly attractive as North American energy provides a stable alternative to supplies currently disrupted by the Iran war.Located with direct access to the Pacific, LNG Canada is the first major North American facility capable of shipping liquefied natural gas directly to key Asian markets.According to the report, the deal could be valued between $10 billion and $15 billion and allow Shell to monetize a portion of its interest and attract fresh capital for future expansions of the British Columbia-based facility.Shell intends to sell its exposure to both the first and second phases of the project to a single bidder rather than splitting the stake, the report noted.All involved parties, including the bidding firms, did not immediately respond to' request for comment.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
