On July 31, Apollo Global Management LLC rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $123.97/share with turnover of $137 million, notably outperforming the broader financial services sector where peer stocks posted declines.
The move comes as Apollo prepares to release its second quarter financial results on August 4 before market open, with analysts expecting EPS of $2.05. The stock has maintained consensus overweight ratings with a mean price target of approximately $149, well above its current level, suggesting analysts see significant upside potential.
In recent weeks, Apollo has demonstrated an exceptionally active deal pipeline, including a $7.65 billion bid for EasyJet, a 3 billion euro minority stake investment in Bayer's contraceptives business, a $1.5 billion commitment to Keppel Offshore Fund, participation in a record $35 billion Broadcom-Anthropic private credit deal, and plans to allocate up to $20 billion in Mexico financing. This robust dealmaking pace appears to be reinforcing investor confidence ahead of the earnings report.
