Insights

Financial Analyst

Blue Owl Capital demonstrates remarkable resilience with 25% management fee growth and 30% revenue growth year-over-year, showcasing the strength of their permanent capital model. The quarterly dividend of $0.18 per Class A Share maintains steady shareholder returns. The strategic acquisition of IPI's business marks a significant expansion into digital infrastructure, particularly data centers, complementing their existing Atalaya capabilities in asset-based finance.

The company's success in fundraising, achieving their second-highest quarter historically, indicates strong investor confidence and effective market positioning. The expansion into data centers and asset-based finance - both trillion-dollar markets - positions Blue Owl strategically in high-growth sectors. Their focus on permanent capital provides stability in volatile market conditions, while diversification into digital infrastructure offers exposure to secular growth trends.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL) ("Blue Owl") today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

"Blue Owl has continued to generate resilient and strong growth against a volatile market backdrop, with management fee growth of more than 25% and revenue growth of more than 30% year over year. The robust organic trends across our business reflect our durable permanent capital base and increasing investor interest in the strategies we manage, leading us to the second highest quarter of fundraising in Blue Owl's history." said Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz, Co-CEOs of Blue Owl. "In addition, we recently announced our agreement to acquire IPI's business, reflecting a significant step forward in Blue Owl's presence in the digital infrastructure ecosystem. Between IPI's expertise in data centers and Atalaya's capabilities in asset based finance, both of which are multi-trillion dollar markets, we believe we are further positioning Blue Owl to be on the forefront of trends that will define the alternatives industry in the coming decade."
