Blue Owl Managed Funds To Buy Approx. $7 Bln Of PayPal's BNPL Products In US

Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30.
In trading on Wednesday, shares of Blue Owl Capital Inc Class A (Symbol: OWL) entered into oversold territory, hitting an RSI reading of 29.8, after changing hands as low as $17.64 per share. By comparison, the current RSI reading of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is 53.7. A bullish investor could look at OWL's 29.8 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. The chart below shows the one year performance of OWL shares:
Looking at the chart above, OWL's low point in its 52 week range is $14.55 per share, with $26.725 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $17.91.

If they do continue, the current estimated yields on annualized basis would be 5.74% for Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, 0.74% for Newmark Group Inc, and 4.56% for Blue Owl Capital Inc Class A.

Ex-Dividend Reminder: Healthcare Realty Trust, Newmark Group and Blue Owl Capital

T. Rowe Price (TROW) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 1. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings callwill mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This financial services firm is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -7.1%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.71 billion, down 1.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 9.62% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for T. Rowe?
For T. Rowe, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.99%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.
So, this combination indicates that T. Rowe will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that T. Rowe would post earnings of $2.09 per share when it actually produced earnings of $2.23, delivering a surprise of +6.70%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
T. Rowe appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected Results
Among the stocks in the Zacks Financial - Investment Management industry, Blue Owl Capital Inc. (OWL), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.21 per share for the quarter ended June 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +10.5%. This quarter's revenue is expected to be $636.89 million, up 22.5% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for Blue Owl Capital has been revised 0.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a lower Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -0.82%.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Blue Owl Capital will beat the consensus EPS estimate. The company could not beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters.

T. Rowe Price (TROW) Expected to Beat Earnings Estimates: What to Know Ahead of Q2 Release

(RTTNews) - South Reach Networks, a Florida-based fiber infrastructure provider, has been acquired by a fund managed under Blue Owl Capital's (OWL) Digital Infrastructure strategy.

Chris Jensen, Managing Director at Blue Owl, highlighted the strategic importance of Florida and the broader Southeast for hyperscale clients.

Blue Owl Acquires South Reach Networks, Plans Fiber Expansion Across Florida

Apollo Global Management (APO)is joining forces with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) to introduce greater liquidity into the rapidly expanding private credit market, signaling a major shift toward transparency and trading efficiency. This collaboration aims to syndicate and trade investment-grade private debt more actively, with Wall Street banks serving as broker-dealers—either acquiring Apollo's loans directly or facilitating their sale to third parties. This innovative approach marks an important evolution for private credit, historically known for limited secondary trading and opaque pricing.
By partnering with major banks, Apollo is set to significantly expand its capacity to originate larger loans more swiftly. This arrangement will also enable Apollo to tap into the individual investor market, where the demand for liquidity and flexibility is typically higher compared to institutional investors. Apollo has been proactively positioning itself for this move, recently hiring industry veterans and developing platforms designed to provide real-time pricing and increased transparency in private credit transactions.
Market Overview:
Apollo teams up with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to enhance private credit trading.
Wall Street banks to act as broker-dealers, providing liquidity to the traditionally illiquid market.
Collaboration aims to facilitate greater transparency and accessibility for a broader investor base.
Key Points:
The private credit market has surged to around $1.7 trillion, drawing increased investor attention.
Apollo’s strategic initiative aims to blend the benefits of private markets with tradable liquidity.
The move includes launching innovative investment products such as a private credit ETF.
Looking Ahead:
Increased liquidity in private credit markets may attract more institutional and individual investors.
Potential market disruptions could emerge from greater transparency and regular secondary trading.
The initiative may prompt further industry-wide shifts in the structure of private credit investments.
Bull Case:
The collaboration between Apollo, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs aims to introduce significant liquidity into the traditionally illiquid private credit market, allowing for more active syndication and trading of investment-grade private debt.
This initiative is expected to enable Apollo to originate larger loans more swiftly and expand its reach to individual investors who typically require greater liquidity.
Efforts to establish platforms with real-time pricing and increased transparency could redefine how the approximately $1.7 trillion private credit market operates, making it more efficient.
The move towards greater tradability, including the launch of innovative products like private credit ETFs, could democratize access to the asset class for a broader investor base.
Enhanced liquidity and accessibility may attract more institutional and individual capital to the private credit market, fueling its continued growth.
Apollo is a major player with significant ambitions to grow its assets under management and loan origination volume, seeing private markets as increasingly competitive with traditional banking.
Bear Case:
Increased trading and transparency could erode some of the traditional benefits of private credit, such as bespoke terms, privacy, and the perceived stability that comes from less frequent mark-to-market valuations.
Some prominent private credit firms, like Blue Owl Capital, oppose making the market more like publicly traded debt, preferring the existing model that emphasizes stability and lower volatility.
New financial products aiming to bring liquidity to private credit, such as ETFs, are already facing regulatory scrutiny regarding their structure, liquidity mechanisms, and potential risks to investors.
The very nature of private credit involves illiquid assets; ensuring true, consistent liquidity in a publicly traded format remains a complex challenge, potentially leading to mismatches during times of stress.
The rapid growth of the private credit market, much of which has occurred in a relatively benign economic environment, has led to concerns about potential systemic risks if a severe downturn occurs, as the market's resilience at its current scale is largely untested.
Greater liquidity and more frequent pricing could diminish the "illiquidity premium" that has historically attracted investors to private credit, potentially making returns more comparable to public markets but with higher fees.
Increased transparency and more active secondary trading could expose the private credit market to greater volatility and potential disruptions, altering its traditionally stable characteristics.
However, this initiative is not without controversy. Firms such as Blue Owl Capital (OWL) have voiced opposition to the transformation of private debt into a more publicly traded market, citing the stability and lower volatility traditionally associated with private credit investments. Apollo's efforts highlight a growing divide among industry leaders regarding the ideal structure and future direction of private credit markets.
Apollo's bold strategy could reshape private credit investment, blurring the distinction between public and private markets. While increased trading could appeal to a broader investor demographic, it remains uncertain whether the market will fully embrace these changes, or whether traditionalists will succeed in preserving private credit's more exclusive, stable nature.

Guru Fundamental Report for OWL

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the VictoryShares US EQ Income Enhanced Volatility Wtd ETF (Symbol: CDC), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $70.90 per unit.
With CDC trading at a recent price near $60.52 per unit, that means that analysts see 17.14% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of CDC's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Schlumberger Ltd (Symbol: SLB), Citizens Financial Group Inc (Symbol: CFG), and Blue Owl Capital Inc (Symbol: OWL). Although SLB has traded at a recent price of $34.15/share, the average analyst target is 52.32% higher at $52.02/share. Similarly, CFG has 42.06% upside from the recent share price of $35.45 if the average analyst target price of $50.37/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting OWL to reach a target price of $24.26/share, which is 41.93% above the recent price of $17.09. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of SLB, CFG, and OWL:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Sum Up The Parts: CDC Could Be Worth $71

The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics — strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Blue Owl Capital Inc Class A (Symbol: OWL) presently has an excellent rank, in the top 25% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors.
But making Blue Owl Capital Inc Class A an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Friday, shares of OWL entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $18.87 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Blue Owl Capital Inc Class A, the RSI reading has hit 28.5 — by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 43.7. A falling stock price — all else being equal — creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, OWL's recent annualized dividend of 0.72/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 3.72% based upon the recent $19.36 share price.
A bullish investor could look at OWL's 28.5 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on OWL is its dividend history. In general, dividends are not always predictable; but, looking at the history chart below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue.
