SpaceX jedná o financování ve výši 40 miliard USD na nákup čipů Nvidia, včetně přibližně 10 miliard USD v bankovních úvěrech a 30 miliard USD v dluhopisech s investičním ratingem.
SpaceX Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX), Elon Musk’s rocket and artificial intelligence (AI) company, is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy Nvidia chips, potentially creating one of the largest debt-funded AI hardware purchases.
The proposed financing would comprise about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade bonds, with Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) expected to lead the transaction and Pimco among investors considering the debt.
Bloomberg and the Financial Times reported that talks remain at an early stage, with the financing expected to close in 2027, while SpaceX, Nvidia, Apollo and Pimco have not commented.
The borrowing highlights the capital required to build AI infrastructure, as companies spend heavily on processors, data centers and power equipment.
SpaceX has expanded its computing operations since incorporating xAI, Musk’s AI business, and has said its data centers will use Nvidia hardware exclusively.
Musk said last month that Colossus 2, an AI computing cluster in Tennessee, had 110,000 Nvidia GB200 chips and 440,000 GB300 chips, with as many as 660,000 additional GB300s potentially coming online by December.
The expansion could take Colossus 2 beyond 1.2 million Nvidia chips, underscoring the scale of computing capacity Musk is building to support AI services including Grok.
The financing would extend a trend in which banks and asset managers provide capital for AI hardware rather than requiring technology companies to fund purchases entirely themselves.
Apollo has become a major participant in this market, while Nvidia is working with financial firms on broader financing structures to help customers fund infrastructure needed to deploy its processors.
The proposed deal comes after SpaceX completed an $86 billion initial public offering in June and raised $25 billion through a bond sale, increasing scrutiny of its spending and debt.
Apollo rozšířila denní oceňování na další investory napříč svým úvěrovým byznysem za 850 miliard USD, aby zvýšila transparentnost soukromého úvěru. Oceňování na úrovni jednotlivých aktiv má být dostupné od 30. října 2026.
Builds on July 1 Launch for Investment-Grade Fixed Income Replacement Product Suite, Complements Data Standardization and Secondary Trading Initiatives
NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that it has begun providing Daily Pricing information to additional investors across its $850 billion credit business, marking another step in the firm’s broader efforts to build a more transparent private credit market. Apollo launched Daily Pricing for investors in its investment-grade Fixed Income Replacement product suite on July 1, 2026, and has now extended the initiative across various direct lending, asset-backed finance, multi-credit and opportunistic credit vehicles. Asset-level pricing for applicable funds is expected to be made available to investors beginning on October 30, 2026.
The initiative reflects the continued evolution of private credit toward the pricing, data and market making infrastructure familiar in other established credit markets. More frequent pricing, standardized asset-level information and secondary trading are complementary parts of that development, designed to help investors evaluate and manage private credit alongside their public market investments.
John Zito, Co-President of Apollo Asset Management, said, “As public and private markets continue to converge, investors increasingly expect a more consistent experience across their portfolios. That requires more timely pricing information, standardized data and the infrastructure to support more efficient market making. Daily pricing is another step in that evolution. Together with our broader efforts, it is designed to give investors greater visibility into their holdings and support their ability to participate in private markets with confidence. We believe greater transparency supports a better experience for all market participants and the broader financial system.”
The expansion complements Apollo’s other initiatives to strengthen private market infrastructure. In March 2026, Apollo partnered with Intercontinental Exchange to launch ICE Private Credit Intelligence, which has introduced unique asset identifiers, ICE IDs. The ICE IDs will be leveraged to offer standardized reference data sets, as well as analytics and independent pricing on private assets over time. To date, over 5,000 ICE IDs have been created. Apollo’s dedicated secondary trading desk, launched in 2024, has also facilitated over $30 billion of trading volume to date with a growing number of partners, demonstrating how price discovery can support the continued evolution of private markets.
Together, these initiatives are intended to support greater transparency, broader participation and modern product structures as private credit becomes a more established component of investor portfolios.
Daily Pricing is available to investors through Apollo’s investor portal. Where information relates to a registered fund, it is published through the channels applicable to that vehicle.
Daily Pricing refers to an estimated fair value for a fund, portfolio, asset, security or other investment position, calculated as of a specified date. Daily Pricing is not a market-clearing price and is based on Apollo’s internal pricing methodology and benchmarked to relevant public market data. Daily Pricing is provided solely for informational and transparency purposes and is not intended to constitute a definitive valuation or to serve as a basis for any investment decision, subscription, redemption, transaction or other action.

Apollo Global Management roste díky AI infrastruktuře, soukromému úvěru a penzijním produktům. Rowan uvedl, že firma letos obchodovala s více než 30 miliardami USD v těchto produktech a do konce roku očekává 50 miliard USD.
Baggage Claim: Apollo’s $7.7 Billion Bid to Acquire easyJetMarc Rowan, chairman, co-founder and CEO of Apollo Global Management NYSE: APO, said the firm sees a favorable near-term U.S. economic backdrop, continued demand for private credit and significant opportunities tied to industrial investment, AI infrastructure and retirement products.
Speaking at BofA’s 31st Annual European Financial Services Conference, Rowan said U.S. companies have been resilient, earnings are rising and capital markets remain open. He cited employment, capital-expenditure spending and accommodative government policy as factors supporting the economy.
Get APO alerts:
As Broadcom Eclipses $2 Trillion, Private Credit Giants Wants In“Valuation aside, I think it will be difficult to cause a U.S. recession over the near term,” Rowan said, adding that credit generally performs well when the economy remains healthy.
Private-market model and origination focus Rowan said private-market firms are being supported by demand for excess returns per unit of risk, investor diversification needs and what he described as a global industrial renaissance. He said Apollo is seeking to serve a wider group of investors beyond institutional alternatives allocations, including individuals, insurers, traditional asset managers, retirement plans and institutional debt and equity portfolios.
TPG Built a Record Year, Then Lost 40%—Is the Selloff Overdone? According to Rowan, those customers are not naturally suited to traditional closed-end fund structures. Apollo is therefore working to make its credit products operate more like public-market securities, with daily net asset values, identifiers such as CUSIPs or ICE IDs, trading and eventually regular-way settlement.
He said Apollo had traded more than $30 billion of such products year to date and expected that figure to reach $50 billion by year-end. The firm expected to offer daily NAV across its full credit business by Sept. 30, after implementing it across its investment-grade suite as of June 30.
Rowan identified origination, rather than capital raising, as the key bottleneck for the industry. He said Apollo’s origination capabilities grew from the company’s effort to source investment-grade assets for its retirement business, Athene, without depending on public investment-grade markets.
He pointed to financing demand across energy, power transmission, infrastructure, manufacturing, defense, AI and data. Rowan said corporations increasingly use banks for short-term financing and public markets for straightforward debt, but turn to private markets for more complex or longer-duration capital needs.
Rowan said Apollo primarily provides concentrated capital to investment-grade companies. He said the firm generally seeks secured, asset-level structures rather than unsecured holding-company exposure. He said Apollo’s five-year plan calls for 20% annual growth in its asset-management business and 10% annual growth in its retirement business, with approximately $5 billion of earnings from each business over the period. AI infrastructure financing Rowan said Apollo differentiates among energy projects, chips and data centers when evaluating AI-related financing. He said the firm views energy financing separately from data-center financing, citing a U.S. shortage of new energy capacity.
For chips, Rowan said financing can be structured around equipment that amortizes over four or five years, with chip manufacturers retaining residual risk or investors receiving residual-value upside with downside protection. He said the firm’s financings involving xAI, Broadcom and NVIDIA were secured financings against chips.
Data-center projects can also vary substantially, he said. Projects with commitments from major technology companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Meta or Google can be financed as project financings with contracted offtake, while merchant projects dependent on assumed utilization, renewal and offtake rates carry a different risk profile.
Rowan said Apollo has made its larger AI-related investments in energy and chips. It also owns Stream Data Centers, but he described its equity exposure to data centers as a relatively small part of the portfolio.
Private credit and European expansion On private credit, Rowan said the direct-lending and leveraged-lending market appears mature and relatively flat rather than in a broad growth boom. He noted that spreads have tightened despite investor redemption requests from some high-net-worth vehicles, which he said indicates continuing demand from institutional investors and collateralized loan obligations.
Rowan said Apollo has emphasized large-cap, first-lien, cash-pay lending with lower leverage in its wealth-oriented credit offering, rather than seeking higher distributions through greater leverage, technology exposure, payment-in-kind structures or smaller-company lending. He said performance could diverge among managers as investors assess their underwriting approaches through market disruptions.
In Europe, Rowan said he expects private credit—particularly investment-grade direct lending—to grow faster on a percentage basis than in other markets. He cited constrained government finances, a more bank-dependent financial system and major capital needs across the region.
He said Apollo’s retirement platform, Athora, has sizable businesses in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In the U.K., Apollo has increased its presence through Athora’s acquisition of Pension Insurance Corporation, or PIC. Rowan said the transaction expands the company’s ability to participate in pension risk transfer activity onshore, in line with U.K. regulatory preferences.
He added that scaling the U.K. business will require Apollo to originate sufficient U.K.-eligible matching-adjustment assets, both for its own insurance operations and for other institutions and insurers.
Austin office and insurance regulation Rowan said Apollo is opening an office in Austin, Texas, that will serve as a second headquarters and host most of the company’s future growth. He said the office is intended to give Apollo access to a differentiated talent pool and allow teams to focus on larger changes in technology, products and business models.
Potential areas of work include expanded liquidity provision in private markets, lending against private assets and new retirement-product structures, Rowan said.
He also criticized regulatory arbitrage in the insurance sector, including the use of offshore jurisdictions with lower capital requirements. Rowan said he believes recent actions and comments by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners indicate regulators may move to address those practices.
“We have the luxury now of asking what comes next,” Rowan said of Apollo’s growth plan. “Is it more of the same, or do we have the opportunity to innovate and create new revenue and profit sources around the business that we already do so well?”

Apollo Global ve 3. čtvrtletí omezil odkupy v private credit fondech; investoři letos dostali asi 75 % požadovaného kapitálu. Zároveň firma oznámila, že ve 2. čtvrtletí výnosy vzrostly na 11,1 miliardy USD a čistý zisk na 1,33 miliardy USD.
Buy APO. The news shows redemption pressure is easing (Apollo Debt Solutions redemptions capped; investors received ~75% of requested capital; other funds’ redemption rates are stabilizing). That reduces the “liquidity panic” discount. Fundamentals are still strong: Q2 revenue $11.1B and net income $1.33B, with fee-generating AUM rising to $858B. Technicals are washed out (below 50-day and Supertrend), setting up a mean-reversion bounce toward $143–$154.
Key Risk: Redemptions re-accelerate and Apollo is forced to take bigger losses or raise capital to meet withdrawals.
ADS (Apollo Debt Solutions BDC)
Buy ADS. If Apollo is capping redemptions and most investors are getting ~75% of what they ask for, the near-term run on liquidity is less likely to worsen. That should support NAV and reduce discount-to-NAV pressure in the BDC complex. Second-order: as redemption stress fades, investors rotate from “withdrawal risk” names into higher-yield BDCs, tightening spreads for ADS specifically.
Key Risk: Credit losses spike inside the portfolio, forcing NAV cuts and making redemption caps irrelevant.
Apollo Global stock has underperformed the market this year as jitters in the private credit industry have escalated. APO dropped to $124.15, down by 13.60% from its highest level in August this year. So, is this retreat a good buying opportunity for the stock?
There are signs that challenges in the private credit industry are continuing. Apollo Global, one of the biggest players in the industry, announced that it was capping redemptions in the third quarter.
Investors in Apollo Debt Solutions BDC (ADS) sought to withdraw roughly 14.7% of shares in the latest tender offer. While high, the figure was better than 16.8% in the second quarter and is a sign that pressures are easing.
This trend is happening across other similar vehicles. HPS Corporate Lending Fund had 11.5% in Q3 from 13.3% in the second quarter. North Haven Private Income Fund had 11.4% from 11.6%, while Oaktree Strategic Credit Fund had 3.8% from the previous 4.5%.
In its statement, Apollo noted that investors who have sought liquidity this year have received about 75% of their requested capital.
Therefore, while redemptions are a big issue, there are signs that the situation is improving, which is a good thing.

Apollo Global’s business is doing well despite the rising challenges in the industry. Its most recent results showed that its revenue jumped to $11.1 billion in the second quarter from $6.8 billion in the same period last year.
This performance is important because of how Apollo makes money. Like other private equity and credit companies, it makes money in various ways, including management fees, interest, and investment income.
Its management fees is dependent on the assets under management, which have continued rising. Its total AUM jumped to $1.047 trillion, while the fee-generating AUM rose to $858 billion.
Apollo’s profits also continued rising during the quarter. Its net income jumped to $1.33 billion from $605 million a quarter earlier. Its first-half loss was $594 million, primarily driven by a one-time tax expense of $1.7 billion.
Analysts are largely bullish on Apollo stock. Data compiled by Kyro shows that JPMorgan’s Kenneth Worthington maintained his overweight rating, with a price target of $154. UBS has a buy rating and a target of $172, while Morgan Stanley has a target of $164.
APO stock chart | Source: TradingView
The daily chart shows that APO stock has slumped in the past few weeks, erasing some of the gains made in July and mid-August. It has slumped from a high of $143 to the current $124.
The stock has slumped below the 50-day moving average and the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement level. This retracement connects the lowest level in March and the highest point on August 14.
Apollo Global has also moved below the Supertrend indicator, which is a sign that bears are in control for now. Therefore, the path of the least resistance is downwards, with the next key level to watch being at the 61.8% retracement point at $116.
Apollo říká, že vyšší sazby po delší dobu podporují financování AI infrastruktury a že jeho hlavní ekonom vidí 10% až 20% pravděpodobnost recese v příštích 12 měsících.
Baggage Claim: Apollo’s $7.7 Billion Bid to Acquire easyJetScott Kleinman, co-president of asset management at Apollo Global Management NYSE: APO, said the firm sees a “higher for longer” interest-rate environment continuing as consumer spending, persistent inflation and investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure support economic activity.
Speaking at a Barclays conference, Kleinman said Apollo’s chief economist estimated the probability of a recession over the next 12 months at between 10% and 20%. He said geopolitical instability, trade policy questions, inflation and energy prices remain risks, but markets have continued to focus on consumer spending and the AI build-out.
Get APO alerts:
AI infrastructure and large-scale financing As Broadcom Eclipses $2 Trillion, Private Credit Giants Wants InKleinman said Apollo is approaching AI primarily as a financing and structured-investment opportunity rather than making directional bets on which companies will capture the most value from the technology.
“How do we sell the pickaxes to the gold miners as opposed to being the gold miners ourselves?” Kleinman said, describing the firm’s strategy of providing bespoke capital solutions to large investment-grade counterparties.
TPG Built a Record Year, Then Lost 40%—Is the Selloff Overdone? He said the capital needs tied to digital infrastructure, energy, industrial infrastructure, transportation, logistics and defense are occurring at a “once in a generation type scale.” In response, companies are increasingly using a mix of public equity, public bonds and private capital rather than relying on a single source of financing.
Asked about Apollo’s recently announced transactions with Broadcom and NVIDIA, Kleinman said the deals were highly structured and designed to be investment grade. He did not provide transaction-level financial details, but said such investments can be placed on Apollo’s balance sheet, client balance sheets and with syndication partners. Apollo expects a meaningful share of its transactions to remain on its own balance sheet, subject to issuer and sector concentration limits, he said.
Europe, high-grade solutions and origination Beyond AI, Kleinman pointed to opportunities in traditional and renewable energy, transportation and logistics infrastructure, and structured or hybrid corporate financing. He said Apollo is also expanding its presence in Europe through investments in personnel and country offices.
European companies are increasingly looking to private capital because local capital markets are less robust than those in the United States, Kleinman said. He cited transactions involving EDF, BP, Air France and RWE as examples of the firm’s activity in the region.
Kleinman also highlighted Apollo’s high-grade capital solutions business, which provides customized financing to large investment-grade companies. He said Apollo has completed more than 200 such transactions representing about $150 billion of capital.
These financings can offer companies more tailored terms and access to capital pools that may not be available through traditional investment-grade bond issuance, he said, while not necessarily requiring more risk. The business requires extensive structuring and ratings-agency engagement, according to Kleinman.
He said origination remains central to Apollo’s business model, including its Apollo Capital Solutions, or ACS, platform. ACS revenues have exceeded $200 million for five consecutive quarters, according to the Barclays interviewer. Kleinman said the platform’s principal purpose has been to help Apollo source assets, finance portfolio companies and syndicate transactions, with fee revenue being a secondary benefit.
Fundraising and private-equity outlook Kleinman said Apollo is experiencing a “banner year” in institutional fundraising across hybrid capital, credit and private-equity products. The firm’s Fund XI private-equity vehicle launched in January and held a first close of $12 billion last month, he said. Apollo expects to pursue its target through the rest of the year and into the first half of next year.
He said institutional investors remain interested in private equity but have become more selective among managers. Apollo’s discipline during the prior cycle and its ability to monetize investments have supported fundraising, Kleinman said.
Looking across the industry, he expects the number of private-equity managers to decline as firms that expanded rapidly during the era of low interest rates face challenges returning capital. He also expects continued innovation around long-term company ownership, capital structures and more market-like forms of active equity management.
Wealth products and AMAPS On semi-liquid private-credit products, Kleinman said recent redemption pressure was not unexpected following significant fundraising in the sector. He said redemption caps are functioning as intended and that he expects demand to improve as investors recognize that the market is not currently in a broad credit cycle, though he cautioned that his outlook was conjecture.
Kleinman said Apollo is pursuing daily pricing, enhanced transparency and an Intercontinental Exchange identifier for certain private assets as it seeks to make private-market products more accessible to wealth managers, retirement plans, mutual funds and institutional investors.
He also discussed AMAPS, an Apollo-created structured-credit product designed as an alternative evolution of the collateralized loan obligation market. Unlike traditional CLOs that he said are optimized for triple-A investors, AMAPS is designed around the single-A portion of the capital structure and has included roughly 50% investment-grade collateral.
Apollo has completed five AMAPS issuances totaling about $25 billion, Kleinman said. About half has been acquired by Apollo’s own balance sheet and the remainder by third-party investors. He said the firm is sharing the product’s technology with other credit originators in hopes of developing a broader market.
Regarding Athene, Kleinman said the annuity market has always been competitive and that success depends on client service, products, pricing and excess-spread delivery. He said AMAPS is one component of Apollo’s effort to create excess spread without taking excess risk, adding that the firm was “cautiously optimistic” about improving conditions.

Apollo Receives Minority Interest in Part of BMG’s Music Rights Portfolio; Equity Capital Enables BMG to Partially Repay Outstanding ABS Liabilities
NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that Apollo-managed funds and affiliates have provided a $1.25 billion equity capital solution to support the recently completed combination of BMG and Concord, bringing together two highly complementary businesses spanning music publishing, recorded music, theatrical rights and digital distribution.

Strategic investment by a global construction and real estate partner to support continued growth of leading UK housebuilder
NEW YORK and OSAKA, Japan, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced that Apollo-managed funds (“Apollo Funds”) have agreed to sell an approximately 30% minority stake in Miller Homes (“Miller Homes” or the “Company”) to Daiwa House (TSE: 1925). Apollo Funds will remain the controlling shareholder in the Company.
Established in 1934, Miller Homes is the largest private housebuilder in the UK, completing approximately 5,000 homes a year across England, Scotland and Wales. Since the Company’s acquisition by Apollo Funds in 2022, Miller Homes has delivered significant growth and strengthened its operating model, driven by disciplined operational execution and the successful acquisition and integration of St. Modwen Homes.
The strategic investment by Daiwa House will support the continued profitable growth of Miller Homes, providing additional resources and global construction and real estate expertise as the Company expands its multi-tenure model and progresses towards its target of delivering 7,000 new homes per year.
Rajesh Jegadeesh and Peter Sinensky, Deal Team Leads at Apollo, said, “Miller Homes is one of the highest-quality businesses in the UK residential sector and we are proud of what the management team has built over the past four and a half years. This transaction reflects the strength of the Miller Homes business today and its sector-leading financial performance, leaving the company well-positioned for further profitable expansion.

Akcie Apollo Global Management za poslední měsíc přidaly asi 2 % po zveřejnění výsledků, i když upravený zisk na akcii za 2Q 2026 činil 2,11 USD a zklamal odhady. Tržby vzrostly o 23 % meziročně na 1,34 mld. USD.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Apollo Global Management Inc. (APO - Free Report) . Shares have added about 2% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Apollo Global Management due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Apollo Global Management Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Apollo Global Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates, Expenses Increase Y/YApollo Global Management, Inc.’s second-quarter 2026 adjusted net income per share of $2.11 missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.18. The metric increased from the year-ago adjusted net income of $1.92.
Results were adversely impacted by higher expenses. However, higher assets under management balances acted as a tailwind in the quarter.
The results include certain items. After considering those, net income attributable to Apollo Global (GAAP basis) was $1.34 billion, which rose from $605 million in the prior-year quarter.
Quarterly Revenues & Expenses RiseTotal segment revenues were $1.34 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.31 billion. The metric increased 23% year over year from $1.10 billion.
Total expenses for combined segments increased 19% year over year to $558 million in the reported quarter.
AUM Balance RisesFee-generating AUM increased 34% year over year to $858 billion. The rise was driven by strong capital formation across institutional and global wealth channels, $65 billion from Athora’s acquisition of Pension Insurance Corporation, and robust Retirement Services inflows, partially offset by outflows and realization activity.
As of June 30, 2026, total AUM was $1.05 trillion, up 25% year over year. Total AUM benefited from $220 billion of inflows from Asset Management, $78 billion of gross inflows from Retirement Services, and mark-to-market appreciation. This was partially offset by $71 billion of outflows and $32 billion of realization activity.
Capital & Liquidity PositionAs of June 30, 2026, Apollo Global had $3.41 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $5.76 billion of debt.
Capital Distribution UpdateThe company announced a quarterly cash dividend of 56.25 cents per share with its earnings release. The dividend was paid on Aug. 31, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Aug. 19.
Apollo Global repurchased $102 million of common stock in the second quarter, including $73 million to substantially offset dilution and $29 million of opportunistic share repurchases. Over the last 12 months, the company repurchased $1.6 billion of common stock and distributed more than $1 billion in common stock dividends.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.
VGM ScoresCurrently, Apollo Global Management has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock has a grade of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, Apollo Global Management has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerApollo Global Management belongs to the Zacks Financial - Investment Management industry. Another stock from the same industry, SEI Investments (SEIC - Free Report) , has gained 4.2% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.
SEI reported revenues of $641.62 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +14.7%. EPS of $1.66 for the same period compares with $1.78 a year ago.
For the current quarter, SEI is expected to post earnings of $1.58 per share, indicating a change of +21.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for SEI. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of D.
Key Takeaways APO's total AUM reached $1.05 trillion, up 25% year over year, reflecting robust capital formation and growth.Fee-generating AUM rose 34% to $858 billion, supporting recurring fee income and growth across the platform.Apollo's management plans to scale private equity, targeting total AUM of nearly $1.5 trillion by 2029. Apollo Global Management, Inc. (APO - Free Report) continues to expand its alternative investment platform, supported by strong organic asset under management (AUM) growth. The company’s AUM witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6% from 2022 to 2025, with the growth trend continuing in the first half of 2026. Total AUM reached $1.05 trillion as of June 30, 2026, up 25% year over year, reflecting robust capital formation and continued growth in Asset Management and Retirement Services.
AUM Growth Trend
Image Source: Apollo Global Management, Inc.
Apollo’s ability to consistently attract capital remains a key driver of its AUM expansion. The company generated $298 billion of gross inflows over the last 12 months, including $220 billion from Asset Management and $78 billion from Retirement Services. Strong fundraising across institutional and global wealth channels, along with robust Retirement Services inflows, should continue to support growth across the platform.
As of June 30, 2026, fee-generating AUM increased 34% year over year to $858 billion, supporting Apollo's ability to generate recurring fee income. The increase was driven by strong capital formation across institutional and global wealth channels, continued fundraising across credit and equity strategies, and growth in Retirement Services.
Strategic acquisitions further strengthened Apollo’s long-term AUM growth prospects. In February 2026, Apollo entered into a strategic partnership with Schroders to develop next-generation wealth and retirement investment solutions for institutional and wealth clients across the U.K. and the U.S., creating opportunities to expand client reach and attract incremental assets. In September 2025, Apollo acquired Bridge Investment Group Holdings Inc. to broaden its real estate investment capabilities and enhance its ability to attract and retain institutional and wealth-management capital, supporting sustained AUM growth over the long haul. Though recent private-market concerns, including valuation opacity, liquidity constraints, and slower exit activity, could weigh on investor sentiment and near-term AUM growth, Apollo’s strong capital formation and expanding capabilities should support long-term AUM expansion.
Continued growth in fee-generating and perpetual capital AUM should strengthen recurring fee income and enhance earnings stability. Further, management’s plans to scale its private equity business could help total AUM approach $1.5 trillion by 2029, making sustained AUM growth a key driver of Apollo’s earnings trajectory. For 2026 and 2027, APO’s earnings are projected to rise 5.13% and 22.22%, respectively.

AUM Performance of APO’s PeersAmeriprise Financial (AMP - Free Report) has been witnessing solid growth in its AUM/assets under administration (AUA) balance. Over the five years (2020-2025), total AUM/AUA recorded a CAGR of 9%, supported by strong advisor recruitment, record advisor productivity, rising adoption of fee-based solutions and favorable asset flows. The momentum continued in the first half of 2026, with AUM/AUA reaching a record $1.81 trillion as of June 30, 2026.
Ameriprise’s robust AUM/AUA base supports long-term earnings growth by expanding its pool of fee-generating client assets across its diversified wealth management and asset management businesses.
Similarly, KKR & Co. (KKR - Free Report) has been witnessing strong growth in its AUM balance, driven primarily by robust fundraising and the continued expansion of its investment platform. Over the five years (2020-2025), total AUM recorded a CAGR of 24.2%, with the growth momentum continuing in the first half of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, total AUM was $796.5 billion, while fee-paying AUM reached $638.4 billion.
KKR’s expanding AUM and fee-paying AUM base supports long-term earnings growth by increasing the pool of capital that generates recurring management fees across its private equity, credit, real assets and other investment strategies.

, /PRNewswire/ -- ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE) today announced that it has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Brazos Midstream's Permian Midland Basin natural gas gathering and processing assets for total cash consideration of $4.425 billion. The acquisition will be funded through a $9 billion nonvoting minority equity investment from funds and affiliates managed by Apollo (NYSE: APO) (Apollo). ONEOK intends to use $5 billion of proceeds from the equity investment to reduce ONEOK's existing indebtedness.
"This transaction demonstrates ONEOK's strategy of intentionally expanding and extending our integrated energy infrastructure," said Pierce H. Norton II, ONEOK president and CEO. "These assets add a premier Permian Midland Basin platform supported by long-term contracts and attractive growth opportunities.
"The acquisition expands our scale in the Permian Midland Basin, advances our integrated wellhead-to-water strategy and strengthens connectivity across our natural gas and NGL value chain, positioning ONEOK to capture significant volume growth in one of the most economic and rapidly growing resource plays," added Norton. "The combination of this acquisition with the minority equity investment demonstrates our commitment to creating shareholder value while accelerating our deleveraging to 3.25 times debt-to-EBITDA, further enhancing our balance sheet."
"ONEOK has built one of the largest and most diversified midstream platforms in the country, providing essential services and infrastructure to help meet rapidly expanding domestic and international energy demand," said Apollo Partner Jamshid Ehsani. "This transaction reflects Apollo's ability to deliver flexible, high-grade capital solutions at scale, structured around ONEOK's long-term strategic objectives."
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
The acquisition will be funded through a $9 billion nonvoting minority equity investment in ONEOK's existing business. The investment carries an internal rate of return (IRR) that is capped at 7.0% for the first nine years of the investment, which is lower than ONEOK's cost of publicly traded equity. Distributions in excess of the capped IRR will reduce the minority equity capital balance over time, which increases the economic value attributable to ONEOK common shareholders.
In addition to funding the acquisition, ONEOK intends to extinguish approximately $5 billion of existing indebtedness, immediately reducing expected pro forma 2027 leverage to approximately 3.25 times debt-to-EBITDA. The debt extinguishment plan will include repayments, make-whole calls and a tender offer for senior notes (most of the targeted senior notes are currently trading below par).
These steps will accelerate ONEOK's deleveraging timeline and will more than achieve the company's previous target leverage without issuing common equity while supporting a growing backlog of organic growth opportunities, particularly in the Permian Basin, as well as other business segments.
The acquisition increases momentum toward the high end of ONEOK's mid- to high-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth target over the next five to seven years and accelerates ONEOK's flexibility to increase capital returns to shareholders, including through potential dividend increases and share buybacks.
PREMIER PERMIAN MIDLAND BASIN PLATFORM
The transaction implies a multiple of approximately 7.5 times estimated 2027 EBITDA, inclusive of approximately $80 million of full-year synergies, and approximately 6.0 times estimated 2028 EBITDA, reflecting the expected significant growth of the Brazos platform, as well as additional commercial and operational synergies expected to be realized through further integration with ONEOK's existing Permian Basin assets. The combined ONEOK and Brazos systems are also expected to generate additional capital efficiencies as capacity is optimized across the platform. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings and free cash flow per share, supported by substantial contracted growth across Brazos' dedicated acreage.
The acquisition strengthens ONEOK's integrated Permian-to-Gulf Coast strategy by:
Expanding scale in the rapidly growing Permian Midland Basin. Adding long-term, fee-based contracted growth with leading Permian producers. Enhancing connectivity across the natural gas and NGL value chain. Optimizing commercial and capital savings opportunities. Delivering immediate accretion to earnings and free cash flow per share. The acquired Brazos Midland assets create a scaled, integrated Permian Midland Basin platform that strengthens ONEOK's position in one of the most active and economic producing regions in North America. Supported by approximately 600,000 dedicated acres under long-term fixed-fee contracts with a weighted average remaining term of more than 12 years, the system provides substantial visibility to future volume growth and is currently supported by 14 active drilling rigs from leading Permian producers including ExxonMobil, Diamondback Energy and Double Eagle.
Following completion of the Cassidy II processing plant expected in the third quarter of 2027, the Brazos Midland system will include approximately 700 miles of gathering infrastructure and 1.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of processing capacity across seven core Permian Midland Basin counties. Through the acquisition, ONEOK also obtains a Permian Midland Basin-wide area of mutual interest (AMI) with a key private producer, creating additional opportunities to capture future growth.
The Brazos Midland assets are highly complementary to ONEOK's existing Permian Midland Basin natural gas gathering and processing, NGL transportation and crude oil infrastructure. The acquisition more than doubles ONEOK's Midland Basin processing capacity to approximately 2.3 Bcf/d, including plants currently under construction, and establishes one of the Permian Midland Basin's largest integrated natural gas gathering and processing platforms.
The combination expands ONEOK's ability to capture volume growth across the value chain while optimizing capital deployment and utilizing existing downstream infrastructure, including the company's West Texas NGL Pipeline and soon-to-be-completed Medford NGL fractionation facility. By integrating commercial, operational and capital activities across the combined footprint, ONEOK expects to achieve significant recurring synergies over the long term, further reducing the effective acquisition multiple over time to be in line with ONEOK's historical organic build multiples.
MINORITY EQUITY INVESTMENT
Further strengthening its financial position, ONEOK has entered into an agreement with Apollo and affiliates for a $9 billion minority equity investment.
Minority equity investment highlights:
Return capped at a 7.0% IRR for the first nine years of the investment with value creation above the capped return rate accruing to ONEOK common shareholders. Investor's capital account balance is expected to substantially decline over time through cash distributions that vary with cash flow from operations. Income attributable to the noncontrolling interest (NCI) is expected to tie closely to the 7.0% capped IRR multiplied by the investor's then outstanding capital account balance. No liquidation preference and is structurally subordinate to all existing ONEOK senior debt. Provides ONEOK the option to acquire any remaining minority interest beginning eight years after closing or earlier if investor capital account balance declines to $200 million prior to that date. No Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) accounting treatment necessary for this structure. Under the terms of the agreement, Apollo will invest $9 billion in exchange for a Class B interest in a newly formed holding company, ONEOK Holdings, L.L.C. (HoldCo), which is structurally subordinate to the company's debt. The Class B interest is expected to receive 15% of quarterly cash flow from ONEOK, L.L.C. (OpCo) operations. Because those distributions are expected to exceed the Class B capped return of 7.0% IRR, the Class B capital account balance is expected to substantially decline over time. There are no penalties if the quarterly distribution is below the capped return. ONEOK has the option each quarter to accelerate the Class B investor capital paydown by electing to distribute up to 20% of quarterly cash flow from OpCo's operations to the Class B interest, subject to certain conditions. The Class B interest carries limited consent rights related to HoldCo, has no board representation or liquidation preference, and is subordinate to all ONEOK senior debt. All distributions paid to HoldCo are at the discretion of the OpCo board.
The total minority equity investor return is capped at a 7.0% IRR for the first nine years of the investment. The target IRR on the then-current capital account balance steps to 7.35% in year 10 and increases to a final cap of 7.85% in year 15. All value creation above the capped IRR, including growth from the Brazos Midland acquisition, ONEOK's existing portfolio and future initiatives, accrues to ONEOK common shareholders.
Beginning on the eighth anniversary of closing, or earlier if the Class B capital account balance reaches $200 million prior to that date, ONEOK may acquire the remaining Class B interest at a price reflecting the same 7.0% IRR, which is fixed until the ninth anniversary of closing. By that time, the remaining balance is expected to be substantially below the initial investment. In years 10 through 15, the Class B interest may be acquired at a value to achieve the then current target IRR applied to the remaining Class B capital account balance at that time.
The investment has been reviewed with ONEOK's credit rating agencies, all of which consider the transaction as credit-enhancing, and ONEOK expects to receive full equity credit. Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the investment will be reported on the balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest (NCI) within permanent equity. On the income statement, approximately 7.0% (1.75% on a quarterly basis) of the investment's remaining capital balance will be subtracted from net income to arrive at net income attributed to ONEOK. The remainder of the Class B payment above NCI will reduce capital balance quarterly and the next quarter's income available for common shareholders will increase in an amount approximately equal to the previous quarter's reduction in capital account multiplied by the capped return divided by four and adjusted for the effective tax rate.
TRANSACTION TIMING
The Brazos Midland acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 and has been unanimously approved by ONEOK's Board of Directors. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including Hart-Scott-Rodino Act clearance.
The minority equity investment has been unanimously approved by ONEOK's Board of Directors and is expected to close in the first half of September, subject to customary closing conditions.
As part of these strategic transactions, ONEOK intends to extinguish $5 billion of outstanding debt, including commencing a cash tender offer for certain of its outstanding debt securities. In addition, ONEOK will repay, at or shortly following closing of the minority equity investment, its $1.2 billion term loan and will exercise make-whole calls on certain series of senior notes.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described above, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Apollo Global Management jmenovala Reeda Raymana do čela obchodů souvisejících s umělou inteligencí a chce více financovat velké projekty digitální infrastruktury. Zaměří se hlavně na čipy a jejich leasingové platby.
Apollo Global Management named a new leader to head artificial intelligence-related deals, The Information reported Wednesday (Aug. 5).
Partner Reed Rayman will lead the asset management company’s chip-focused efforts, according to the report, which cited unnamed sources.
It’s part of a larger strategy to capture more digital infrastructure deals and link them with investment teams across Apollo, with Rayman concentrating on developing relationships to help Apollo oversee the financing of more big and complex AI infrastructure projects, the report said.
Apollo and other major asset managers are aiming to capture more business from the massive financing required to fund AI infrastructure build-out, per the report. Some high-profile projects are too big for standard corporate loans, requiring an array of partnerships, backstops and other arrangements to spread the risk among AI labs, chip and cloud providers, and lenders.
Apollo earlier this year arranged financing for Broadcom that will help Google deploy its custom AI chips with Anthropic as its customer, the report said.
Apollo already has a large team working on AI-centric deals, with around 60 employees focused on digital infrastructure, according to the report. Rayman is focused on sourcing deals supported by semiconductors and their lease payments, rather than financing other aspects of AI infrastructure like data centers.
Meanwhile, a new class of buyers, sometimes called AI roll-ups, is emerging across accounting, property management and customer service, PYMNTS reported Tuesday (Aug. 4).
“Unlike traditional acquirers, these companies are not buying small service businesses to cut costs or flip them for a quick return,” the report said. “They are buying them to keep the customer relationships already in place, then rebuild the actual work behind those relationships with proprietary artificial intelligence. The wager is that AI does not just make an existing business more efficient. It replaces the work itself, at a scale no individual small business could reach on its own.”
In these deals, companies are wagering “that rebuilding the production layer with AI, not just consolidating ownership, is what creates value, whether the target is a local accounting practice or a publicly traded company generating billions,” according to the report.

Apollo Global Management Inc. (APO - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.11 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.18 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.92 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -3.21%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $1.98 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.94, delivering a surprise of -2.02%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Apollo Global Management, which belongs to the Zacks Financial - Investment Management industry, posted revenues of $1.34 billion for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.31%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.1 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Apollo Global Management shares have lost about 10.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 11%.
What's Next for Apollo Global Management?While Apollo Global Management has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Apollo Global Management was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $2.30 on $1.37 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $8.88 on $5.35 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Financial - Investment Management is currently in the top 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
GCM Grosvenor Inc. (GCMG - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 10.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.19 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +18.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
GCM Grosvenor Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $133.84 million, up 11.9% from the year-ago quarter.

CompaniesNEW YORK, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Apollo Global Management (APO.N), opens new tab posted a rise in earnings from fees and its insurance business in the second quarter, but cashed in less on its own investments in a tougher environment for asset sales, the company said on Tuesday.
The New York-based company posted adjusted net income of $2.11 per share, 10% higher than the same period last year but below estimates of $2.17 per share drawn from an LSEG poll of analysts.

Apollo started as a private equity firm in 1990 and has since pushed hard into credit and insurance, helping swell its total assets under management to $1.05 trillion at end-June.
CEO Marc Rowan has pledged to increase transparency and liquidity for private assets as valuations have come under scrutiny, with funds struggling to sell equity stakes and investors worrying about lending standards outside traditional banks.
Fee-related earnings from managing assets and arranging debt and equity deals rose 25% to $785 million, while the spread earned on insurance assets rose 7% to $877 million.
Apollo said those metrics broke quarterly records, as did fees from a unit which offers direct loans and asset-backed finance.
Principal investing income, which reflects profits from divestments, dipped to $16 million from $75 million in the previous quarter and $47 million in the same period of 2025.
Sales of assets from certain funds had been "prudently delayed", Apollo said, adding that some fees and income were lower "while market conditions are less accommodative for monetization activity".
Rising interest rates have weighed on so-called exit deals in private equity in recent years, although buyout pioneer KKR (KKR.N), opens new tab last week reported a brisk quarter for such deals.
Apollo's asset management arm brought in $38 billion in fresh capital in the second quarter.
The company said that was driven in part by multi-asset securitization strategies, which include new vehicles pulling together different types of debt. The firm is marketing those vehicles, dubbed AMAPS, as a replacement for collateralized loan obligations.
Credit products for institutional investors and its latest flagship private equity fund also attracted inflows.
Wealthy individuals who have been staging a retreat from private credit this year pitched in $3 billion during the quarter, down from $4 billion in the previous three months.

Apollo Global Management bylo vyřazeno z Russell 1000 Growth a přesunuto do Russell 1000 Value, což po rebalancování stlačilo akcie asi o 15 % v posledních týdnech. Firma zároveň uvedla, že po podání u SEC z 22. června omezila odkupy na 5 %.
Apollo Global Management's (APO +1.58%) stock price is down about 15% in recent weeks. The decline is mainly tied to the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes. Apollo, an alternative asset manager, was removed from the Russell 1000 Growth Index following the latest reconstitution, which took effect on June 26.
In the algorithms that Russell uses to reconstitute its various indexes, Apollo no longer exhibited the traits of a growth stock. Instead, it was deemed a value stock and was moved into the Russell 1000 Value Index.
Right after the rebalancing took effect, Apolloʻs stock price dropped sharply and is now trading at roughly $120 per share, off 18% year to date. But is this an opportunity to buy low on this growth-turned-value stock?

Growth to value A big reason Apollo stock dropped is that it got kicked out of two massive growth exchange-traded funds (ETFs) -- the $127 billion iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF +0.28%) and the $44 billion Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF (VONG +0.26%). Losing invested capital from these sizeable funds, literally overnight, can leave a big dent in the stock price.
It did get added to two value ETFs -- the $81 billion iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD +0.37%) and the $20 billion Vanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF (VONV +0.47%). But combined, these two ETFs have almost $75 billion less in assets to invest than the two growth ETFs.
That aside, Apollo Global still has strong fundamentals, and this rebalancing could present an excellent buying opportunity.
Showtime for Apollo? Apollo stock looks like a good buy right now, with some momentum following a strong first quarter. As an alternative asset manager, it invests in private equity, private debt, and other alternative investments. These assets tend to have a low correlation to stocks, often performing well when stocks don't -- like they did in the first quarter.

In Q1, Apollo had record fee-related income of $728 million, up 30% year over year, while adjusted net income rose 8% to $1.2 billion. Wall Street analysts project 21% revenue growth in 2026 and 14% growth in 2027. Earnings are expected to rise 6% this year and another 20% in 2027.
One concern that contributed to the sell-off was a June 22 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that said Apollo was capping redemptions at 5%. This was most likely due to high redemption requests to its flagship fund, Apollo Debt Solutions, totalling 16.8% of the fund. This was sparked by heightened concerns among investors about problems in the private credit market. It's the second quarter in a row that they've put redemption caps in place. While private credit has been resilient, it is something to watch.
Apollo is a good value on a forward earnings basis Apollo's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is high, but that's because it took GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) losses last quarter due to a high one-time offshore tax-related expense. But on a forward earnings basis, it is relatively cheap, trading at 13 times forward earnings.
Some 73% of Wall Street analysts rate it as a buy, with a median price target of $150 per share. That would suggest 25% upside.
I think reconstitution will benefit investors, as they can now get this value stock at a discount.
EasyJet obdržel vyšší nabídku na převzetí od Apollo Global Management, 715 pencí za akcii, která překonává návrh Castlelake. Firma už původní nabídku Castlelake nedoporučí.
Britský nízkonákladový letecký dopravce EasyJet obdržel novou nabídku na převzetí od investiční skupiny Apollo Global Management ve výši 715 pencí za akcii. Tato nabídka překonává konkurenční návrh společnosti Castlelake, což podle agentury Bloomberg přináší nečekaný zvrat v celém akvizičním procesu a otevírá prostor pro možnou akviziční bitvu mezi těmito dvěma americkými investičními fondy.
Vzhledem k tomu, že nabídka fondu Apollo v hodnotě 5,7 mld. GBP (7,6 mld. USD) je výhodnější než návrh Castlelake ve výši 5,5 mld. GBP, EasyJet již nemá v úmyslu doporučit původní návrh Castlelake, uvádí aerolinka v pátečním prohlášení. Finanční podmínky navrhované hotovostní nabídky od Apolla jsou naopak na úrovni, kterou by představenstvo akcionářům EasyJetu doporučilo.
Náhlý vstup společnosti Apollo do vyjednávání následuje po několika kolech rozhovorů z uplynulého měsíce mezi EasyJetem a fondem Castlelake, který svou nabídku neustále navyšoval, aby udržel jednání v chodu. Castlelake potřeboval pět pokusů a nabídku 690 pencí za akcii, aby přesvědčil EasyJet ke zpřístupnění účetních knih. Castlelake tak nyní podle Bloombergu musí zvážit, zda dokáže přijít s ještě vyšší částkou a Apollo přeplatit.
Společnosti Castlelake a EasyJet prodloužily formální lhůtu pro předložení závazné nabídky (tzv. „put up or shut up“ deadline) do 3. srpna.
Akcie EasyJet Akcie EasyJet (EZJ) dnes na londýnské burze rostou o 14,60 % na 674,05 GBX. Akcie se obchodují rovněž na frankfurtské burze pod tickerem EJT1, kde posilují o 13,15 % na 7,88 EUR.
Apollo oznámila, že výsledky za 2. čtvrtletí 2026 zveřejní 4. srpna před otevřením burzy NYSE. Management je následně probere v 8:30 ET na veřejném webcastu.

Apollo omezí odkupy v hlavním retailovém private credit fondu Apollo Debt Solutions na 5 % podílů poté, co žádosti o odkup ve 2. čtvrtletí vyskočily na 16,8 %.
Apollo is limiting investor redemptions in its main retail-focused private credit fund after withdrawal requests rose to 17% during the second quarter.
The private markets giant said it will cap withdrawals at 5% of shares in the Apollo Debt Solutions vehicle, after investors rushed to pull out about $2.4 billion, or 16.8%, during the three-month period.
Why Apollo capped withdrawals"Taken together, we expect net outflows from ADS will be approximately $400 million for the second quarter of 2026 and year-to-date, representing 3% of NAV," Apollo said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission published on Monday.
It highlighted a "notable regional split" in second-quarter withdrawal requests, with U.S. onshore clients looking to pull out about 4.3%, while redemptions from offshore investors jumped to 12.5%.

The move comes after the $26 billion fund — a non-traded business development company which offers wealthy retail investors exposure to higher-yielding private credit assets — said withdrawal requests in the previous quarter rose to more than 11%.
Why private credit funds are under pressureThe redemption spike once again spotlights the liquidity pressures that have engulfed global private markets this year.
So-called 'semi-liquid' private debt vehicles have been subject to a wave of redemption pressure this year, as investors look to pull their money amid growing anxieties over asset quality, and as funds struggle to reconcile the less-liquid nature of private assets and the retail wealth channel.

Earlier this month, Blackstone said it had restricted investor withdrawals from its flagship $79 billion Blackstone Private Credit Fund, or BCRED, to 5%, after they surged to 10% during the second quarter.
Across the Atlantic, Switzerland's Partners Group recently warned it may curb redemptions in several of its private asset vehicles following a surge in exit requests.
"We're discovering in real time that you can't offer near‑daily liquidity on genuinely illiquid assets without eventually testing the plumbing, and 2026 is the year those structures get rewritten," said Sunaina Sinha Haldea, global head of private capital advisory at Raymond James.
"Redemption pressure in evergreen private credit isn't just a credit story, it's a structural one," Haldea told CNBC via email.
She warned that the 'wrap-it-for-retail-and-the-money-will-come' phase in private credit markets is over, adding that weaker evergreen private credit funds risk facing gates, outflows and lost shelf space, as fundraising consolidates around private markets managers with strong governance, liquidity controls and client education.
Danielle Poli, managing director, co-portfolio manager at Oaktree Capital, said institutional capital was reaffirming its commitment to private credit, in contrast to jitters within the retail wealth channel.
Poli said institutional investors were considering increasing their allocations to the space to take advantage of scarcer capital in the market, adding that the retail wealth component makes up less than a quarter of the private credit market.
"These are longer-term private instruments that give you an attractive yield if you hold them. That's the trade-off," she told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Tuesday.
Poli said she expected the market to see a degree of differentiation between private asset managers based on their lending discipline, loan terms and how they considered the impact of a different rate environment. "That's very healthy and natural," she added.
Correction: This article was updated to reflect that redemption requests had spiked to 17%. It was also reworded to clarify Apollo is not halting all redemption requests.
