  • Ares Management (ARES) Runs Up, Now Looks Fair by Value Model but Pricey on Earnings
    July 3, 2026, 8:25 PM EDT. Ares Management (ARES) is up 113.7% over five years but off 31.9% for the past year. The Excess Returns model spots intrinsic value at $107.47, just under market, so shares look near fair value, though about 8.8% over. The estimate includes growth pushes such as the Asia Direct Lending Fund, with a 27.31% return on equity forecast. On earnings multiples, though, ARES screens as expensive. Moves in sentiment on private credit and BDC valuations can swing the stock price. Shares now trade in the top end of fundamental support, so investors are watching if growth keeps up with these numbers.
