Ares Management Stock Rally Gaining Momentum
Ares Management delivered strong first-quarter results with fee-related earnings surging 26% year-over-year as assets under management climbed to a record $644.3 billion. Management fees rose 25%, reflecting robust capital formation activity. Despite this impressive growth, ARES trades 24% below year-ago levels, presenting a potential opportunity. The company currently offers a 4.4% dividend yield, the highest in over five years, backed by management's history of substantial dividend increases. A critical strength lies in the composition of revenue: 93% of management fees derive from perpetual or long-dated capital, providing earnings stability regardless of private credit redemption concerns.
