Ares Management (ARES) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Ares Management (ARES) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ares Management Corp is well-positioned for growth due to favorable trends in credit, private equity, and real assets, which are attracting institutional clients to shift investments into private and illiquid asset classes. The company's Secondaries Group is expected to experience strong growth, providing liquidity solutions as demand for private equity and credit markets increases, thus addressing muted distributions to limited partners. Additionally, with real estate now serving as Ares' second-largest segment and projected improvements in fundamentals, the firm showcases significant growth opportunities beyond its core credit and direct lending strategies.
Bears say
The analysis indicates a negative outlook for Ares Management due to significant potential declines in portfolio company valuations stemming from adverse macro conditions, which would adversely affect realized performance fees. The company faces risks related to market volatility, which could delay portfolio realizations in the private equity segment and subsequently impact overall performance income, particularly given that a substantial portion of management fees is derived from Ares Capital (ARCC). Additionally, the use of a lower earnings multiple reflects a higher risk premium, suggesting increased caution among investors regarding the company’s financial prospects.
