Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly overvaluedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $68.34 and expensive above $159.45 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $167.83 (cash-flow model) and $23.52 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $81.69, at 7.8% it would be $116.65.

Revenue
In the twelve months to 30 Sep 2026, revenue rose 16.5% on the twelve months before. Revenue has grown strongly since 2012, at around 26% per year. From 2012 revenue is reported differently (for example gross instead of net), so earlier years are not comparable and not shown.
Margins
- Operating margin
- Net margin
In fiscal 2025: operating 27%, net 8%. Banks and insurers have no gross margin, and their net margin is not comparable with other industries. The score leaves both out. From 2012 revenue is reported differently (for example gross instead of net), so earlier years are not comparable and not shown.
Debt & balance sheet
Fiscal 2025For banks and insurers, deposits and liabilities are the business. Debt to equity and the current ratio say little here, and the score does not rate them.

Company outlook lowered
Share price after the results: +3.5%Ares lowered its full year 2026 net realized performance income guidance to $300 million to $325 million and expects fourth quarter FRE margin growth tracking a bit below prior expectations, citing a muted exit environment and delayed fund closes.
“These delays will modestly impact our expectations for the full year, which we now expect will come in at a range of $300 million to $325 million in total net realized performance income, implying $160 million to $185 million for the fourth quarter.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
