The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 71.01x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits above the highest.

Today, against the Asset Management industry (57 companies), 71.01x sits at the 82nd percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 8.66x to 42.00x.

Is it good

Return on equity was 12.3% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Ordinary" (8.0% to 15.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.

Today, against the Asset Management industry (71 companies), 12.3% sits at the 67th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.3% to 14.3%.

Year by year against peers: Whether Ares Management Corporation's return on equity stayed above the median of the Asset Management industry, year by year. (FY2019 to FY2025, 7 fiscal years of Ares Management Corporation with a comparable figure)

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 10 filed fiscal years on record, FY2016 to FY2025, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 15, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 15, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.

The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.

Earnings per share, compound annual growth FY2016 to FY2019: -4.1%
Free cash flow: Free cash flow was not positive in both 2016 and 2019, so a compound rate across the window is not defined. Both figures are in the table.

Every figure in this section is a line of a filed annual statement or a ratio of two of them. Nothing here is estimated or smoothed. Earnings per share filed before a share split are put on today's share count, and say so. Nothing here is a verdict on the company.

The named tests

Of 30 tests value investors published: 0 met, 17 not met, 13 we could not complete. Counts, never a score: a single figure would have to decide that meeting one investor’s criteria and meeting another’s are worth the same.

Which tests, by name(all 30)

Meets: None of the named tests.
Does not: Defensive investor (Benjamin Graham); Deep value; Large cap, low P/E; High F-score, low P/B (Joseph Piotroski); High returns and growth; Gross margin, turnover (Robert Novy-Marx); Low beta, profitable; Near the 52-week low; High returns, low debt; High return on tangibles; Low P/S, rising earnings (James O'Shaughnessy); Book or below, low debt (Walter Schloss); Tangible book or below; Clean books, high ROIC; Cheapest quarter on P/E (David Dreman); Cheapest quarter on P/B (David Dreman); Low P/E, growth, yield (John Neff)
Not measured: Earnings yield and ROIC (Joel Greenblatt); Three forensic scores; Low PEG, low debt (Peter Lynch); EV/EBITDA and coverage; High yield, low payout; Dividends and buybacks; ROIC at or above WACC; Z-score and coverage (Edward Altman); Two thirds of NCAV (Benjamin Graham); P/E times P/B (Benjamin Graham); Owner earnings yield; Cash-covered dividend; Cash-flow yield and ROIC. A test with a figure we could not read is incomplete, never met and never failed.

Figures we could not read(23)

Current Ratio: Our archived statements for this filer carry no current assets line, so we cannot compute this from source and show you where it came from.
Debt to Equity: The filed borrowings do not add up to a total we can stand behind: the filer's own liability subtotals leave room for debt we did not read.
Positive Earnings Streak: The latest filed year has no per-share earnings we can read; the test needs 10.
Piotroski F-Score: 2 of the nine Piotroski signals are undefined for a capital markets firm: signal 6 (rising current ratio), signal 8 (rising gross margin). We do not publish a partial score under the full score's name.
EV/EBIT: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Return on Invested Capital: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
Altman Z-Score: Altman's Z-Score was estimated on manufacturers and explicitly excludes financial firms. A financial company scores in the distress zone by construction, so the number would be wrong rather than alarming. Not applicable to financials.
Beneish M-Score: The Beneish M-Score is built on gross margin, receivables and asset quality indices estimated on non-financial firms. Those inputs are not defined here.
PEG Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Eps Growth 5Y: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Gross Margin: Our archived statements for this filer carry no gross profit line, so there is nothing to compute a gross margin from and trace back to source. That may be because the filer presents no cost of revenue, or because we have not captured the concept. We do not guess which.
EV/EBITDA: Enterprise value adds debt and subtracts cash. For a financial company both are the business itself, so the resulting multiple has no economic meaning.
Interest Coverage: No operating income line is filed for this year.
Payout Ratio: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Free Cash Flow Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Share Count Change Yoy: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
ROIC-WACC Spread: Invested capital is equity plus debt less cash. A financial company's debt and cash are operating positions, so returns measured against that base are not comparable to an operating business.
Price To Ncav: Net current asset value needs current assets, which an unclassified balance sheet does not report.
Price To Graham: We do not hold this figure for this company, so there is nothing to show.
Owner Earnings Yield: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Capex To Ocf: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Dividend Coverage Ratio: For a bank, an insurer, a broker or investment firm, or a mortgage trust, operating cash flow swings with the size of the loan, trading and funding book rather than with operating performance, so free cash flow is not the measure of the business. Look at earnings and capital adequacy.
Dividend Streak: The stored figure is a zero that can stand for data we do not hold, so this test is not measured.

Next step

What to do with what you have read.

Value it in the DCF workbench

A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.

What this cannot tell you

23 figures could not be read on this company, among them Current Ratio, Debt to Equity, Positive Earnings Streak. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 13 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.

And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.

Running this once is arithmetic on public documents and you are welcome to it. Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.
