Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Ares Management Corporation

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We see share price weakness as a buying opportunity, as ARES has a formidable business across private credit, real assets, and private equity markets. We think public equity market worries about whether firms like ARES can continue to deliver high returns from their investment funds is misunderstood. Thus, we maintain our $160 target using a forward P/E of 26.2x compared to the three-year historical average at 30.0x and the five-year at 27.0x. We lower our 2026 EPS by $0.30 to $6.10 and 2027's by $0.40 to $7.40, our prior estimates were well above the consensus. With regard to public concerns about the potential negative impact of AI on software companies, ARES states only 5%-6% of total AUM is software-related and digital infrastructure is only 2%, not material. Default risk is claimed to be less than 1%. Dividend yield is 4.6%, supported by growing businesses with strong inflows and total AUM growth. We think the Iran-U.S. war does pose a risk to monetization of private equity holdings in funds.

Research Alert: Ares Management Delivers Solid Results And Aum Growth

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ARES delivered strong Q4 2025 results with 18% Y/Y AUM growth to $644B and fee-paying AUM up 19% to $400B, while after-tax realized income of $1.24. Credit strategies showed robust performance with APAC Credit generating +20.3% returns and U.S. Senior Direct Lending at +18.0% and other Credit fund showing positive performance. We believe ARES's diversified platform positions the firm well to maintain market leadership across credit, real estate, private equity and infrastructure. Management expressed confidence in strong 2026 fundraising that could match or exceed 2025's record levels. The 20% dividend increase to $1.35 reflects management's confidence in cash generation capabilities, while $158B in available capital provides significant dry powder for future deployments. In our view, ARES benefits from its scale and global operations in capturing opportunities across market cycles, with credit dominating at 65% of FPAUM and 93% of management fees from perpetual capital or long-dated funds.
