Ares Management Screens 45% Overvalued as Private Credit Secondaries Support Fee Hopes

Summary
$97.73 per share is Ares Management's estimated intrinsic value under an Excess Returns model, leaving the stock about 44.5% above that level.
Ares still trades at a premium because investors are betting its role in European private credit secondaries can sustain fee-earning activity despite recent share-price weakness.
119.8% total return over five years helps explain that optimism, even as Simply Wall St said the stock scored 0 out of 6 on valuation checks across earnings, book value and cash-flow metrics.
The debate for investors is whether Ares's growth and quality in private credit justify paying up as any shift in risk sentiment could compress valuations.
