Blue Owl Capital Investment Narrative Recap

To own Blue Owl Capital, you need to believe in the long term appeal of its fee based, permanent capital model across private credit and alternative assets. The recent US$20.7 million raise at Blue Owl Credit Income Corp modestly reinforces the near term catalyst of scaling private credit, but does not fundamentally change the bigger near term risk around fundraising momentum and fee pressure after a sharp share price pullback.

The most relevant recent development is Blue Owl’s share price drop of about 27% since the February asset deal used to provide liquidity at a struggling fund. That drawdown sits awkwardly beside consensus expectations for higher future earnings and highlights how sensitive the stock can be to confidence in asset values and fundraising, which are central to the growth story investors are weighing today.

Yet beneath the growth story, investors also need to weigh the risk that rapid expansion, complex structures and governance flare ups may expose Blue Owl to issues that are not immediately visible...

Blue Owl Capital's narrative projects $4.2 billion revenue and $5.1 billion earnings by 2028. This requires 17.5% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about $5.0 billion from $75.4 million today.

Uncover how Blue Owl Capital's forecasts yield a $16.40 fair value, a 86% upside to its current price.

Exploring Other Perspectives

Some of the most optimistic analysts were expecting revenue to reach about US$4.2 billion and earnings US$3.3 billion by 2028, which is far more bullish than the baseline view. In light of the recent BDC capital raise and governance related headlines, you may want to compare those upbeat assumptions with the risk that US focused private credit and fee structures come under pressure, and consider where your own expectations really sit between these contrasting narratives.
