Did APO Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Apollo Global Management delivered a mixed second quarter for 2026, posting adjusted earnings of $2.11 per share that fell just short of the $2.16 consensus estimate by 2.21%, snapping a four-quarter streak of beating EPS expectations, even as revenue surged 63.7% year-over-year to $11.15 billion, far exceeding the $1.33 billion Wall Street had projected. The quarter's most consequential driver was the continued scaling of Apollo's Retirement Services and Asset Management segments, with Spread Related Earnings reaching $877 million, up 7% year-over-year, and Fee Related Earnings climbing 25% to $785 million on record quarterly fee-related revenue of $1.34 billion. Total assets under management crossed $1.05 trillion, growing 25% from a year ago, while Fee-Generating AUM rose 34% to $858 billion, supported by $60 billion in quarterly inflows. Dry powder reached $82 billion, and the company repurchased $102 million in common stock during the quarter, with $3.03 billion remaining under its $4 billion buyback authorization.
