Brookfield Asset Management's new AI infrastructure company Radiant has been valued at $1.3 billion after merging with London-based cloud computing firm Ori Industries, according to three people with knowledge of the matter and a document seen by Reuters.

Brookfield Asset Management stands out as a premier alternative asset manager with $1.2 trillion AUM and robust multi-vertical expertise. BAM targets 18% annual distributable EPS growth, supported by industry tailwinds and a capital-light, fee-based model with 87% long-term AUM. The stock offers a 3.9% yield—nearly 4x the S&P 500—and management expects 15%+ annual dividend growth, underpinned by strong liquidity and an A- credit rating.

Some companies are sitting on once-in-a-generation growth opportunities right now. Brookfield Asset Management's earnings and dividends could surge over the next five years.

Stocks of asset managers tend to be attractive because of their fee-based recurring revenue, scalable business models with high margins, strong cash flow, and shareholder-friendly returns.

Brookfield (BAM) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Brookfield Asset Management has become more attractive after an 8% stock price drop and a 15% dividend hike since December. FRE surged 28% in Q4 and 22% for FY2025, with margins improving to 61% and 58%, respectively. Distributable earnings rose by 14% for the year and 18% in Q4, accelerating from prior periods.

Brookfield Asset Management offers a rare asset-light model, targeting 15%+ EPS growth while distributing ~95% of net income to shareholders. BAM fundamentals are accelerating, with record Q4 fundraising ($35B), strong fee-related earnings growth, and minimal technology risk exposure. Significant upside exists from $63B in uncalled commitments and $170B in carry-eligible capital, positioning BAM for substantial distributable earnings growth.
