From Ares Management Corp's FY2025 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2026 · read the filing
Ares Management trades securities and runs financial markets. It took in $5.60B last year, which makes it a mid-sized company. Of every dollar it sells, about 9 cents is left as profit.
The financial picture is led by growth, with profitability and debt worth watching.
A conclusion from the filings, not a recommendation. Detailed figures and supporting evidence appear in their dedicated sections below.

Financial health
Generally healthy, with a few things to watch.

Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
How the latest move compares (quote delayed ~15 min), and what was published around it
ARES rose 5.72% on the latest quote. The average Financials company tracked here moved +1.11%, and the S&P 500 −1.04%. That is 4.6 points above its sector and 6.8 points above the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
Opinions from 26 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 26 analysts publishing on this company, 6 say strong buy, 13 say buy and 7 say hold. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
Yes. It keeps about 9 cents of every dollar of sales as profit, earning $527.4M last year.
Yes, quickly. Sales grew 44.2% last year.
For every $1 it owes, it owns $1.44 in assets. Banks and insurers always carry high debt — that is how lending works — so this is normal for the industry and not comparable with other sectors.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Income
This company pays no dividend. It keeps its profits and reinvests them in the business instead, so any return would have to come from the share price.
Figures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it earned $527.4M and generated $3.27B of cash from operations.

Go deeper
Every figure above traces back to a filing in the timeline, each linked to the document itself.
The 81 subsidiaries named in its 10-K, incorporated across 9 places. A filer lists the significant ones and may leave the rest out, so this is the floor rather than the full count.
Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from ARES's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Feb 25, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 5 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 7.3 | 5/5 | 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 7.3 | 5/6 | 10-K, filed Feb 27, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 7.3 | 3/6 | 10-K, filed Feb 27, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 4.7 | 2/6 | 10-K, filed Feb 24, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 7.3 | 3/6 | 10-K, filed Feb 28, 2022 |
| FY2020 | 4.7 | 2/6 | 10-K, filed Feb 25, 2021 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Deteriorated: -67.6%
$1.51B to $488.9MCritical
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Improved: +13.7%
$463.7M to $527.4MNotable
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
Deteriorated: −2.5 pts
11.9% to 9.4%Notable
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.

Changed: +20.2%
$21.0M to $25.2MSignificant
Why it matters: Cash handed to shareholders. A rise can be a higher dividend or simply more shares, and a cut is a decision the company explains in its own filing — neither is rated here.
Improved: +5.8%
$1.35B to $1.43BNotable
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.

Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Loading price history…
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 4.7% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
The trailing P/E is 56.8x — a high multiple relative to the current trailing profit.
Not meaningful for banks, insurers and other financial companies. Their balance sheets have no working capital and are leveraged by design, which this model misreads as distress.
