One & One Green Technologies stock soars 100% after IPO debut
Investing.com - Citizens has reiterated its Market Outperform rating and $205.00 price target on Ares Management, L.P. (NYSE:ARES) despite growing concerns about private credit portfolio quality. The company, currently trading at $149.80, has demonstrated strong financial health with a 49.9% revenue growth over the last twelve months and maintains a solid 38% gross profit margin, according to InvestingPro data.
The research firm indicated it views the recent market weakness as a buying opportunity, noting that many investors still don’t fully understand the underlying nature of alternative asset management businesses. InvestingPro analysis shows the stock’s RSI suggests oversold territory, while the company has maintained consistent dividend payments for 12 consecutive years with a current yield of 3%.
Citizens expects strong third-quarter 2025 earnings for alternative asset managers, particularly highlighting Ares Management and Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL), for which it maintains a Market Outperform rating and $28 price target.
The firm anticipates management teams will present "a particularly bullish tone" during upcoming earnings calls regarding their business models, industry positioning, and both near-term and long-term outlooks.
Citizens believes the perceived risks surrounding private credit are "overblown" and expects robust underlying fundamentals, including for capital deployment, which has positive implications for management fee growth.
