Apollo Q2 Fee Earnings Surge 25% to Record $785M, Asset Sales Slow
APO sits 27% above its 52-week low of $99.56.
Summary
Apollo posted Q2 adjusted net income of $2.11 per share, up 10% year-over-year, driven by record fee-related earnings of $785 million (up 25%) and insurance spread earnings of $877 million (up 7%). Total AUM reached $1.05 trillion. However, principal investing income collapsed to $16 million from $75 million in Q1, as asset sales were delayed amid tough market conditions. This follows a Q1 GAAP net loss of $1.93 billion and recent redemptions in its private credit fund. The strong fee and insurance performance shows resilience in Apollo's core earnings engine, but the slowdown in monetizations and declining retail inflows ($3 billion vs. $4 billion in Q1) warrant caution. KKR, a peer, reported brisk exit activity last week, highlighting Apollo's relative underperformance in realizing gains.
At the time of this announcement, APO was trading at $126.61 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $76.5B. The 52-week trading range was $99.56 to $153.29.
