Blue Owl Capital (OWL-N) is currently facing challenges rooted in its exposure to the private credit market, which has seen heightened scrutiny and fear, especially regarding loans to software companies amid fears of AI disruptions. Some experts opine that concerns are overstated and that Blue Owl's business model, which generates fees regardless of credit market performance, remains solid. They underline the company's strong dividend yield of 9% and recent achievements, such as raising $9 billion to grow its assets under management. However, there are worries about liquidity, especially with the firm restricting withdrawals from some funds, and the sentiment has reflected in the company's stock performance, which is -30% year-to-date. Despite these challenges, many experts express confidence in the company's long-term viability, citing its leadership position in lending to private equity-owned companies and its historical recovery patterns seen in the sector.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 18/24, Up 17%)

It is an alternative investor manager like Brookfield except it focuses on private credit and commercial real estate. It provides alternative investments to retail investors. In February it targeted a 20% annualized growth rate of accumulated earnings. It is down because of the general market decline and mixed quarterly results in their sector.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 13/24, Up 39%)

It is an alternative investment manager and the whole sector has done well. The last quarter was decent and showed earnings growth in the 20% range. On Investors Day it said that earnings would grow at 20% each year for the next 5 years. Its valuation is less than its peers but it trades at less.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 13/24, Up 39%)

Like Brookfield, and the alternative capital sector has been doing very well with firmer equity markets and more M&A. Last week's results were very decent, and they project earnings to grow around 25% this year and fee-related earnings to grow over 20% annually over 5 hears. Their PE is lower than peers, but are growing faster.

BUY

He is considering adding to his position. The stock is off because the announced margins are not as good as investors expected. However he feels that you buy a company for how much cash it generates and how successful it is, not its margins.

TOP PICK

It is riding three waves in the investment world: leaseback transactions, private credit and alternative investments. Also it owns stakes in private equity firms which are very profitable.     Buy 10  Hold 4  Sell 0

(Analysts’ price target is $20.33)
TOP PICK

They're riding the waves of private credit (direct lending, predicted to be the fastest-growing asset class among alternative investments), the growth of sale/leaseback transactions with investment-grade companies, and bringing alternative investments to retail clients. Revenue earnings should grow 20% this year, trades at 22x PE and raised their dividend last week to over 4%.

(Analysts’ price target is $19.56)
