Apollo Global Management, Inc. is a resilient compounder in the financial sector, capitalizing on market volatility through its scale, origination strength, and balance sheet-driven approach. The company has compounded shareholder returns at an impressive 24% annualized rate over 15 years, earning it a premium valuation. Despite macro uncertainty, Apollo posted record fee earnings in Q1, up 21% YoY. Backed by $64 billion in liquidity, Apollo made a bold $25 billion investment push in April, becoming the largest active buyer post-market dislocation.

Apollo remains on track for its 10% annualized earnings and dividend growth target over the next five years. The company’s stock was trading at $142.78 as of July 2nd, with trailing and forward P/E ratios of 24.92 and 18.55 respectively.
