Ares Management (ARES) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Ares Management (ARES) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ares Management has demonstrated impressive long-term growth, achieving over 25% compounded growth in fee-related earnings (FRE) and scaling total assets under management (AUM) by approximately 20% over the last decade. The firm’s recent increase in its quarterly common dividend by around 21% year-over-year indicates strong management confidence in sustaining FRE growth. Furthermore, with enhanced wealth-focused targets and a strategic emphasis on private, illiquid asset classes, Ares is well-positioned to capitalize on favorable market trends and continue attracting institutional clients.
Bears say
Ares Management is facing a negative outlook due to a deteriorating fundraising environment, which may lead to a modest 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in Fee-Bearing Capital (FBC) through 2027, coupled with a decline in realized performance revenues that could drop to $400 million. Additionally, consensus estimates for the firm have been revised downward by 8% since 2025, indicating further market challenges. The firm's valuation scenarios suggest that significant deterioration in macroeconomic conditions could lead to a decline in portfolio company valuations, thereby reducing realized performance fees and affecting overall financial performance.
