On July 30, Blue Owl Capital Inc. rose 5.45% in regular trading, trading at $10.03/share, with turnover of $143 million. The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings release and bullish management commentary during the earnings call.

Blue Owl reported Q2 revenue of $753 million, significantly beating the analyst consensus estimate of $693 million and up from $703.1 million a year earlier. Adjusted distributable EPS came in at $0.22, matching expectations and representing a 4.76% year-over-year increase. Assets under management grew 12% year-over-year to $319 billion.

During the earnings call, the CFO reaffirmed the company's ability to exceed Visible Alpha consensus expectations for the full year. The co-CEO expressed cautious optimism regarding the continued decline in non-traded BDC redemptions, while executives indicated that institutional fundraising prospects for H2 would surpass H1. Despite Q2 new fundraising declining 37% year-over-year — reflecting cooling demand for private credit funds among high-net-worth investors — the positive management signals lifted market sentiment.
