Ares Management (ARES) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Ares Management (ARES) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Ares Management, one of the largest alternative-asset managers globally, reported $595.7 billion in total assets under management, with a significant portion, $367.6 billion, categorized as fee-earning AUM by the end of September 2025. The company is well-positioned to leverage growth trends in credit, private equity, and real assets, as institutional investors increasingly allocate funds to private, illiquid asset classes that demonstrate lower correlation with public markets. Additionally, the firm's real estate segment has emerged as its second-largest revenue generator, suggesting a potential for improved fundamentals moving forward, reinforcing a positive outlook for Ares Management's growth.
Bears say
Ares Management faces a negative outlook primarily due to significant potential volatility in macroeconomic conditions, which is expected to lead to a substantial decline in portfolio company valuations and a corresponding decrease in realized performance fees. Furthermore, a considerable share of Ares Management's management fees is linked to Ares Capital (ARCC), making it vulnerable to negative performance impacts that could adversely affect its financial results. These factors have resulted in the application of a lower earnings multiple due to an increased risk premium.
