Did ARES Beat Earnings? Q2 2025 Results

No. Ares Management reported Q2 2025 earnings of $1.03 a share on Jul 31, 2025, missing the $1.09 consensus estimate by 5.3%. Revenue was $1.4B against a $962.3M estimate.

Revenue was $1.35 billion, above the $992.17 million consensus estimate. EPS was $1.03, below the $1.11 consensus estimate. Ares Management Corporation reported a strong second quarter for 2025, with a significant increase in assets under management (AUM) to $572.4 billion, up 28% year-over-year. The growth was driven by robust fundraising activities and the acquisition of GCP International. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.12 per share for its Class A and non-voting common stock, payable on September 30, 2025. CEO Michael Arougheti highlighted the company's diversified suite of funds and strong investor interest across various channels. The company also reported after-tax realized income of $367.9 million, with fee-related earnings of $409.1 million. Despite the strong revenue performance, the EPS fell short of expectations, reflecting increased expenses and strategic investments.

Key Takeaways
  • Strong investment performance across major strategies
  • Record quarterly market appreciation

“We generated strong second quarter results, growing AUM, fee paying AUM and management fees by 24% or more year over year.”
