NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ares Management Corporation (NYSE: ARES), a leading global alternative investment manager, announced today that certain Ares Real Estate funds (“Ares”) have completed the previously announced acquisition of all outstanding Whitestone REIT (“Whitestone”) common shares and operating partnership units for $19.00 per share or unit in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.7 billion. The transaction expands Ares Real Estate's portfolio with 54 high-quality, con.

Ares Management is rated a 'Buy,' offering an attractive entry for dividend growth and total return potential. ARES is demonstrating record fundraising, driven by strong institutional demand and expanding fee-paying assets. ARES benefits from diversified growth avenues—real estate, infrastructure, and international markets—beyond private credit, mitigating sector-specific risks.

Ares Management stands out as a top private credit pick, offering a 4.5% yield and robust long-term fee growth despite recent volatility. ARES benefits from 90%+ perpetual capital, 19% annual AUM growth since 2013, and is expected to deliver 20%+ annual earnings growth at a 22x P/E. Carlisle Companies is positioned for a 'golden age' of remodeling, with pent-up demand, high ROIC targets, and a nearly 50-year dividend growth streak.

NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ares Management Corporation announced today that it has updated the time it will hold its earnings webcast/conference call for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026 to 9:00am ET on Friday, July 31, 2026. Ares Management Corporation will report its earnings for the second quarter ending June 30, 2026 earlier that morning, prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange.

Direct lending by U.S. private credit firms fell sharply in the second quarter even as fund-raising by such firms rebounded, underscoring the deviation between capital raised for the asset class and ​the deal flow to absorb it.

Ares Management is oversold as the market panicked about some risks in the asset management space. I see strong financial growth, solid inflows, and a growing AUM. I don't see AI as a risk for ARES, but as an opportunity given its upcoming digital infrastructure fund and years of experience on that front.
