NYSE:OWL 15 February 2026 - 24 June 2026

Blue Owl Capital Inc. shares surged Thursday. The stock was lifted as asset managers tied to private credit bounced back. Investors saw Blackstone’s recent withdrawal cap as not as bad as some thought. Blue Owl was last seen at $10.225, up 53.5 cents, or around 5.5%, at 2:47 p.m. in New York. The stock opened at $9.79 and hit a high of $10.49, trading about 31.6 million shares. That came in the regular New York Stock Exchange session, open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern.

Blue Owl Capital Inc. jumped almost 5% Thursday, leading the gains in an otherwise mildly higher day on Wall Street. Investors came back to the beaten-down alternative-asset stock, which has been facing private-credit concerns. Blue Owl traded as high as $10.23 and was last up 48.5 cents at $10.20. About 32 million shares changed hands. Blue Owl is in the spotlight as a kind of gauge for public market appetite for private credit, which covers loans made by funds instead of banks. The alternative asset manager’s stock dropped about 50% this week, The Wall Street Journal reported, as investors questioned its private-credit positions tied to software firms. Doug Ostrover, Blue Owl’s co-founder, sold his last stake in the Washington Commanders, though the sale was not triggered by any share-backed loans or stock sales, according to the Journal.

Brown University slashed its holdings in Blue Owl Capital Corp by roughly 53%, trimming exposure to the alternative asset manager’s largest listed private-credit vehicle as worries persist about Blue Owl Capital Inc. According to a regulatory filing, the school’s endowment held 1.5 million OBDC shares as of March 31, a drop from 3.2 million at the end of 2025. Brown left about 2.6 million shares with Blue Owl’s management company. Timing’s key here. Private credit—where non-bank funds lend to companies, often fueling buyouts, expansion or refinancing—has come under sharper scrutiny in light of recent redemption demands, questions over asset values, and concerns about software-industry borrowers. Fed Governor Michael Barr, speaking Sunday, warned that stress in this market could spark “psychological contagion” and cause a wider “credit pullback.” Still, he said banks’ exposure to private credit wasn’t looking “super worrisome” just yet.

Blue Owl Capital is capping quarterly withdrawals at 5% for its two main retail private credit funds, after investors sought to pull out 40.7% of shares from Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. and 21.9% from Blue Owl Credit Income Corp., according to early shareholder updates. OCIC—among the sector’s largest funds—manages roughly $36 billion in assets. The decision drops right into an ongoing crunch in private credit, a market where funds offer investors just a trickle of liquidity while the assets themselves can be tough to offload in a hurry. KKR’s K-FIT, BlackRock’s HPS Corporate Lending Fund, and Apollo’s flagship fund all saw recent redemption rates of 6.3%, 9.3%, and 11.2%, respectively—each still trailing Blue Owl’s latest tally.

NEW YORK, March 19, 2026, 12:13 PM EDT Shares of Blue Owl Capital edged lower Thursday, losing roughly 0.7% to $9.05 by midday in New York. Earlier, the stock reached $9.14. Bank of America said the recent anxiety over private-credit managers overshoots the actual risks.

Blue Owl Capital climbed roughly 2.2% to $8.80 during late-morning trading in New York on Friday. Shares of Ares advanced 4.6%, while Blackstone tacked on 4.1%. The moves signaled fresh momentum for alternative-asset managers. Blue Owl has become something of a gauge for the private credit sector—the world of lending that bypasses banks. Investors are questioning if managers' marks on private loans will stick in a softer market, particularly where portfolios lean on software deals and liquidity is getting squeezed.

Blue Owl Capital Inc. shares lost more ground Thursday, slipping about 1% to $8.94 after dipping as low as $8.54 earlier. Renewed scrutiny over private-credit loan valuations weighed on the stock, a frequent target given its exposure. Pressure intensified after a Financial Times report, referenced by Reuters, said Glendon Capital Management disputed valuations within one of Blue Owl’s largest funds. The rout stretches well past Blue Owl. The firm is now a focal point in the $2 trillion private-credit world — that’s direct corporate lending outside traditional banks — and the timing isn’t great: JPMorgan recently marked down certain loans in the space, and Morgan Stanley put limits on withdrawals from a private-credit fund after a surge in redemption requests.

New York, Feb 27, 2026, 08:07 ET — Premarket Blue Owl Capital Corp II’s move to tweak its redemption policy was prompted by liquidity requirements, not by any deterioration in credit, according to Moody’s and S&P Global Ratings, cited by Alternative Credit Investor. Marc Pinto, who oversees private credit globally at Moody’s, noted, “Funds will need to hold a larger proportion of more liquid and lower-yielding investments.” Shares of Blue Owl Capital Inc slid 1.2% to end Thursday at $11.22.

New York, Feb 25, 2026, 07:06 — Premarket Blue Owl Capital Inc shares ticked up 0.7% to $10.80 in premarket action Wednesday, drawing attention even after Deutsche Bank downgraded the alternative-asset manager. The move came as private-credit stocks continued to face pressure.
