Apollo Global Management демонстрирует сильные фундаментальные показатели, особенно в отношении рентабельности и роста доходов. P/E, P/S и P/FCF выше медианных значений отрасли, что может указывать на переоцененность. Однако, высокие значения ROE и ROI, а также стабильный рост выручки и чистой прибыли подтверждают привлекательность компании. Долговая нагрузка также на низком уровне, что является позитивным моментом для оценки. Тем не менее, снижение маржи чистой прибыли и отсутствие ликвидности (quick ratio на уровне 0) вызывают вопросы о краткосрочной устойчивости. Дивидендная доходность на уровне 0.43% демонстрирует стабильность выплат, что является положительным фактором для инвесторов. Устойчивый рост активов и собственных средств также говорит о финансовой стабильности компании. В целом, несмотря на некоторые сигналы о переоцененности, фундаментальные показатели указывают на уверенный рост и потенциал компании в будущем.

Apollo Global Management, Inc. (New)

Robinhood Markets, Inc. HOOD has taken a meaningful step in its global growth strategy. The company received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to launch brokerage services in Singapore.
The approval brings Robinhood closer to entering one of Asia’s key financial hubs. The approval is an initial regulatory clearance and does not allow operations yet. The company must meet specific conditions before receiving a full license. The MAS has the authority to withdraw the approval if requirements are not met.
Robinhood’s Singapore Expansion Strategy
Once fully approved, Robinhood plans to roll out a broad range of brokerage services in Singapore. These include trading of securities, exchange-traded derivatives, custody, product financing and collective investment funds.
Singapore will serve as Robinhood’s Asia-Pacific headquarters. The region is seeing strong growth in retail investing. High digital adoption and rising participation in capital markets are driving demand for modern trading platforms.
The company aims to make investing more accessible in Singapore by offering simple tools and broader market access, supporting its goal of making finance more inclusive. Patrick Chan, Head of Asia for Robinhood, said, “We see enormous potential to democratize the financial markets for a new generation of investors in Singapore.”
The Asia-Pacific region offers strong growth potential and Robinhood’s move into Singapore reflects its continued push to strengthen its global presence. By establishing Singapore as its regional hub and leveraging its subsidiary Bitstamp Asia Pte. Ltd. (which holds a Major Payment Institution license from the MAS), the company is positioning itself to tap into both traditional and digital investing trends. This aligns with its broader strategy to scale internationally and diversify its revenue base.
In the past three months, HOOD shares have declined 18.1% compared with the industry’s fall of 0.9%.

Global Expansion Efforts by Other Finance Firms
In February, Apollo Global Management, Inc. APO entered into a strategic partnership with U.K.-based Schroders to develop next-generation wealth and retirement investment solutions for institutional and wealth clients across the U.K. and the United States.
The deal also allows Schroders to allocate capital from existing client portfolios to Apollo Global’s credit capabilities, targeting solutions that deliver better client outcomes.
In the same month, Moody's Corporation MCO set up a regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reinforcing its long-term commitment to expanding its presence in the Middle East.
The new expansion strategy is expected to enhance Moody’s partnerships with the country’s institutions and broaden the availability of its decision-grade data, analytics and credit insights. A stronger on-the-ground presence will enable the company to build closer relationships with regulators, financial institutions and corporate issuers, improve access to local market intelligence, and respond more effectively to client needs.

Apollo Funds To Acquire Forvia's Interiors Business

Key Points
Realty Income has a long history of paying -- and increasing -- dividends.
It pays its dividends monthly, too.
The company is growing on its own and inking deals to help it grow faster.
So you've got $1,000 burning a hole in your pocket and you're looking for a great stock to invest in with it. May I suggest Realty Income (NYSE: O)?
Why Realty Income? Well, I like it (and own it) for many reasons. Here are a few.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
For starters, it's a real estate investment trust (REIT) -- a company that owns lots of real estate, leasing it to tenants. REITs are required by law to distribute at least 90% of their taxable earnings as dividends, so they tend to be generous dividend payers. Realty Income's dividend yield was recently a fat 5%. On top of that, the company has been paying its dividends for more than 650 consecutive months and has upped its payout 134 times in 32 years.
With a 5% dividend yield, a $10,000 investment today will generate $500 in annual income -- and that payout will most likely grow over time. If it grows by 4% annually, you're looking at about $740 in annual income in just 10 years.
Interestingly, while most dividend payers pay quarterly, this one pays monthly. That's not necessarily a big deal, but if, say, you're in retirement and relying on dividend income for much of your daily needs, it can be handy to have it coming in every month, along with your Social Security benefits.
Realty Income's business model is appealing, too: It uses "triple-net leases," which require its tenants to cover real estate taxes, property insurance, and operating expenses. In exchange, its tenants generally receive modest annual rent increases, often around 1%.
The company boasts a total compound annual return of 13.3% since it was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1994, and a 4.2% compound annual dividend growth rate since then, too. It has around 15,500 properties leased to tenants, and its top tenants include companies such as 7-Eleven, Dollar General, Walgreens, Home Depot, and FedEx.
While the company is able to grow organically, buying more properties with the income it generates, it's also been spurring more growth via more creative means. For example, it has inked a $1 billion partnership with alternative investment manager Apollo Global Management -- which will provide funding to buy more properties. It has other joint ventures, as well, and may keep adding more.
This should be a quite attractive portfolio candidate for any long-term investors seeking income. (Remember that it's not just retirees who can use the income. Younger investors can always redeploy that money into more stock!) Give it some consideration -- and perhaps consider some other compelling dividend payers, too.

$1,000 and the Right Dividend Stock: This Is the One to Buy Right Now

Franklin Resources Inc. BEN is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2026 results (ended March 31, 2026) on April 28, 2026, before market open. BEN’s quarterly earnings and revenues are anticipated to have increased from the year-ago reported levels.
In the last reported quarter, Franklin’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company’s results benefited from higher revenues and an improved assets under management (AUM) balance. However, an increase in expenses acted as a headwind.
BEN’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and matched on one occasion, the average earnings surprise being 11.72%.
Franklin Resources, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Franklin’s Q2 Earnings & Sales Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BEN’s earnings of 56 cents per share has remained unchanged over the past seven days. The figure indicates a rise of 19.1% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
The consensus estimate for sales is pegged at $2.18 billion, suggesting a year-over-year rise of 3.4%.
Franklin’s Major Developments
In April 2026, Franklin announced plans to acquire 250 Digital, a cryptocurrency investment firm spun out of CoinFund. The deal includes the investment team and its liquid crypto strategies of 250 Digital. The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions. The move reflects Franklin’s continued expansion into digital assets and is likely to enhance its capabilities in the fast-growing asset class.
Following the acquisition, the company plans to launch Franklin Crypto, a dedicated digital assets platform. The initiative is expected to broaden Franklin’s investment offerings and strengthen its position in meeting growing institutional demand for crypto-related strategies.
Key Factors & Estimates for BEN in Q2
In the January-March quarter, the S&P 500 Index fell 4.9%, signaling a volatile market performance. The, equity markets performance was weaker due to geopolitical tensions and AI-driven disruption. The fixed-income market performance was mixed but generally more resilient than equities. As a result, Franklin’s performance for the quarter ended in March is likely to have benefited from modest fixed-income gains, although weakness in equity markets probably partially offset those gains.
Amid the challenging operating environment, BEN is likely to have continued to record net outflows in the fiscal second quarter. Per the monthly metrics data published by Franklin, its preliminary total AUM as of March 31, 2026, was $1.68 trillion compared with the $1.73 trillion as of Feb. 28, 2026. The March-end AUM reflected the negative impact of markets and long-term net outflows of $1 billion.
Additionally, the current concerns in the private credit market, marked by slower deal activity, muted exit environments, and cautious institutional behavior, are likely to have slowed AUM growth to some extent in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal second-quarter AUM is pegged at $1.69 trillion, indicating a marginal rise from the prior quarter’s actual.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for investment management fees is pegged at $1.7 billion, indicating a sequential decline of 7.1%.
The consensus estimate for sales and distribution fees of $383.9 million indicates a 1.2% decline from the prior-quarter reported figure.
The consensus estimate for shareholder servicing fees of $69.2 million suggests a 2.3% decline from the prior-quarter actual.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for other revenues is pegged at $14.9 million, implying a 23.9% sequential decline.
What Our Model Predicts for BEN
Per our proven model, the chances of BEN beating estimates this time are low. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here, as you can see below.
You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: Franklin has an Earnings ESP of -2.03%.
Zacks Rank: BEN currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Earnings Dates & Expectations of BEN’s Peers
Invesco IVZ is scheduled to announce first-quarter 2026 numbers on April 28.
Over the past seven days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for IVZ’s quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 59 cents. The figure implies a rise of 34.1% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
Apollo Global APO is slated to report first-quarter 2026 results on May 6.
Over the past week, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for APO’s quarterly earnings has been revised downward to $2. The figure implies a rise of 9.9% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.

Apollo Global Management's Series A Preferred Stock Ex-Dividend Reminder - 4/15/26

T. Rowe Price Group TROW has taken a significant step to strengthen its fixed income capabilities by entering the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market. The company announced the launch of ROWE CLO 2026-1 Ltd., a $403.59 million issuance backed primarily by broadly syndicated first-lien loans. The initiative will be managed through its investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc, further integrating it into its broader fixed income operations.
Details of T. Rowe Price’s CLO Offering
The newly launched CLO represents an extension of T. Rowe Price’s established fixed income platform. The initiative complements and leverages the company’s strong bank loan franchise and its securitized investment team to provide investors access to higher-income strategies through bespoke credit selection.
This development builds on the firm’s long-standing experience in credit markets. T. Rowe Price first entered the bank loan space in 2002 and expanded into CLO tranche investing in 2016. The company has also strengthened its research capabilities, investment expertise and supporting technology infrastructure to enhance its credit platform.
The CLO is designed to provide exposure to higher-yielding opportunities through actively managed portfolios of floating-rate loans. It combines the company’s credit research, portfolio management expertise and technology platform to support disciplined credit selection and effective risk management.
Possible Implications of T. Rowe Price’s CLO Expansion
The CLO initiative is expected to strengthen T. Rowe Price’s fixed-income franchise by adding a new avenue for fee-based revenue and asset growth. As of Feb. 28, 2026, the company had $335 billion in fixed income assets under management (AUM), including $40 billion in leveraged credit and structured finance and $17 billion in bank loans and CLO tranche investments, providing a solid base to scale its CLO business.
The launch strengthens T. Rowe Price’s fixed-income franchise by expanding its presence in higher-income credit products, diversifying its offerings and supporting more stable fee-based income. This also aligns with the company’s broader AUM growth strategy, as the move is likely to attract additional institutional inflows.
Eric Veiel, chief investment officer and head of Global Investments for T. Rowe Price, states, "We believe this move will expand our relationships with clients globally, across both debt and equity tranches, by meeting growing demand for these securities."
TROW’s Price Performance & Zacks Rank
Over the past six months, shares of TROW have plunged 9.5% compared with the industry’s decline of 15.7%.

The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

Efforts by Other Firms to Expand Fixed Income Capabilities
In February 2026, Apollo Global Management, Inc. APO entered into a strategic partnership with Schroders to develop next-generation wealth and retirement investment solutions for institutional and wealth clients across the United Kingdom and the United States.
The major focus of the APO’s partnership is the co-creation of new investment products for the UK wealth market. These products will blend public and private markets fixed income exposures across Schroders, Schroders Capital, and Apollo. These products aim to provide enhanced income solutions with better diversification and improved risk-adjusted returns across the credit spectrum.
In the same month, Ares Management Corporation ARES completed the acquisition of the entire outstanding share capital of BlueCove Limited, a London-based systematic fixed income manager. The integrated BlueCove business will operate as Ares Systematic Credit, the latest strategy within the Ares Credit Group.
The acquisition represents a strategic expansion of ARES’s Credit Group into systematic credit investing, aligning with growing investor demand for data-driven fixed income strategies.

T. Rowe Price Expands Fixed Income Platform Through CLO Launch

Key Points
Intel repurchased half of a key chip-building facility.
Analysts say the move bodes well for the semiconductor titan's AI prospects.
Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) rose sharply this past week after the chip designer moved to strengthen its foundry network.
The popular tech stock was up nearly 17%, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue »
Wall Street likes this deal
Intel reached an agreement with Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) to repurchase a 49% stake in its Fab 34 site in Ireland for $14.2 billion. The facility produces a high volume of Intel's Xeon 6 and Core Ultra processors, which power data center servers and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled personal computers.
Intel says the acquisition will begin to boost its per-share profits by 2027. Analysts say the deal is a sign of the company's strengthening financial profile and forthcoming customer wins.
UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri, for one, believes that Intel wouldn't have agreed to buy back Apollo's stake if it didn't expect to gain new foundry customers.
For another, J.Gold Associates analyst Jack Gold views the acquisition as evidence that "the market is buying Intel products at scale."
And Gil Luria, head of technology research at D.A. Davidson, expects the deal to drive Wall Street to lift its earnings projections for Intel.
A bullish signal
Fab 34 is central to Intel's AI-driven expansion plans. Management's decision to buy the facility outright reflects its confidence in the semiconductor leader's manufacturing prospects. And investors are understandably excited about the implications for further share price appreciation.
