â–²(10.26% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:08/19/26
OWL’s score is driven primarily by strong cash-flow performance and improving profitability/leverage, reinforced by a constructive earnings-call outlook (reiterated guidance to beat consensus and a large embedded fee pipeline). Technicals are supportive with price above key moving averages and positive MACD, but valuation is a meaningful drag due to a very high P/E despite an attractive dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Embedded Fee Growth Pipeline
The sizable unfunded fee base provides visible organic growth as capital is deployed and called. It can support recurring management-fee expansion over the next several quarters without requiring equivalent new fundraising.
Negative Factors
Modest Net Profitability
Although profitability has improved from earlier loss years, substantial costs below EBITDA continue to constrain net-income conversion. This may limit the pace at which operating growth translates into strong shareholder returns.

Blue Owl Capital Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 30, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 29, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized broad‑based, durable growth: strong fundraising (quarter and last‑12‑month totals), notable expansion and performance in real assets and alternative credit, meaningful embedded fee pipeline ($31B not yet paying fees), and achieved FRE margin guidance. Challenges discussed were largely manageable and improving — retail/BDC redemption headlines, a still‑recovering wealth channel, and near‑term direct lending deployment that is tepid and dependent on a higher M&A backdrop. Given the weight and scale of the positive fundraising, performance, and diversification metrics versus the contained and improving lowlights, the overall tone is constructive.Positive Updates
Earnings and Dividend
Reported FRE of $0.25 per share and DE of $0.22 per share for Q2; declared a dividend of $0.23 per share payable August 27.
Negative Updates
Wealth Channel Recovery Is Incomplete
Evergreen inflows have bottomed but remain below historical levels; May 1 close bottomed and July 1 close showed >50% increase versus May 1 but overall volumes are still recovering and require time to return to prior norms.
